Vignettes / The Therme Vals “It was a quarry and then it became more of a construction site. The process was not deciding shadow but letting the light in and letting the view come in” — Peter Zumthor “Designing is a matter of concentration. You go deep into what you want to do. It’s about intensive research, really. The concentration is warm and intimate and like the fire inside the earth – intense but not distorted. You can go to a place, really feel it in your heart. It’s actually a beautiful feeling.” — Peter Zumthor Sunday 04.29.12 Posted by Christopher Karlson
Vignettes / Kunsthaus Bregenz “ From the outside, the building looks like a lamp. It absorbs the changing light of the sky, the haze of the lake, it reflects light and colour and gives an intimation of its inner life according to the angle of vision, the daylight and the weather.” — Peter Zumthor Friday 04.20.12 Posted by Christopher Karlson
