Chur Peter Zumthor
"The language of architecture is not, in my opinion, no question about a particular building style. Each house is built for a particular purpose in a particular place and a given society. With my buildings trying to answer, as accurately as possible and critical to the questions arising from these simple facts. " Peter Zumthor
The new protective cover for the archaeological finds was conceived as a kind of abstract reconstruction of the Romans volumes: a lightweight frame walls, made of wood lamella that admits light and air, just follow the Roman walls outside, thus producing an effect similar to a package that gives a visible form to the position of the Roman buildings in the city landscape today. The spaces within the shell interior refer to Roman ruins.
Peter Zumthor created a new space on the ruins surrounding them in a wooden mask and forcing the person to walk over a footbridge that they have different access point in the enclosed spaces by ancient stone walls. Thus arises an ambiguity of feelings almost levitating and walking through the ruins among them only by a small rise in just over 2 meters if it arrives.
But how things can be projected with such presence, beautiful and natural things that touch me again and again? asked the architect, and the answer lies in the concept of atmosphere.
"I work surrounded by mountains in a village in the canton of Graubünden, work from there, live there. Sometimes I wonder if this affects my work, and I imagine that could be upset and ". Pete Zumthor.
