His projects inspire enthusiasm with their exactitude, their poetry, and their radically independent aesthetics and vocabulary of form.
This publication, exquisitely designed to the architect's exacting standards, is the first complete survey of Zumthor's oeuvre.
As exceptional as the architect's work itself, the book investigates eight realized buildings in detail, including the Home for the Elderly in Chur,
the Gugalun House in Safiental, the Art Museum in Bregenz, Austria, and his best-known work, the Thermal Baths in Vals, Switzerland.
Each of these projects is extensively illustrated with duotone photographs by British architectural photographer Helene Binet and is accompanied
by plans as well as commentary written by Zumthor himself.
This title also includes a list of projects, a biography of the architect, and an introduction by Zumthor.
Since this collection was made,all printings of Zumthors works have been very hard to find,making this a very rare and
much sought-after item. Many people believe this book in particular, to be one of the most significant works available from
any author, living or dead.The mans genius is on full display,with hundreds of beautiful photographs to inspire the mind.
Amazon has the book listed at $1,800.00 Used, i am asking $900 or the best offer.
