TELO ARHITEKTURE – ovde je, čini se, dosta ideja pozajmljeno od Merlo-Pontija – uz pomoć sopstvenog tela mi sameravamo celokupnu stvarnost, pa i arhitekturu. Takođe, Ji-Fu Tuan je ovu sjajnu ideju razradio znatno elokventnije nekoliko decenija pre Zumtora. The only problem I can find with the book is its format. Lectures don’t translate very well to writing. Sections of the book feel superfluous; it could do with tighter editing. Some of the pictures, though they look great, don’t seem to relate well with the text and can often be distracting. As his practice developed, Zumthor was able to incorporate his knowledge of materials into Modernist construction and detailing. His buildings explore the tactile and sensory qualities of spaces and materials while retaining a minimalist feel. There were and are so many passages within this book which reminded me of experiences I’ve had before, things I’ve considered when designing within my own practice. For example, the surrounding objects within a space defining the person who inhabits it. A living space is a deeply personal thing and we hold value to the things we keep around us. Zumthor’s speaks of an experience he has visiting a friends house in Cologne and comments “I’m impressed by the things people keep around them” pg 35. An important part of an Interior Designers job is to help a client curate this for themselves, so their interior represents them. Air encapsulates buildings. Building are said to be alive. By inhabitation, life is given to interior spaces through imagination and presence. Air in buildings forms an atmosphere. Steven Connor in his essay "Building Breathing Space" [15] states, “Like the sky, space [is] mobile, mutable, perturbed, polymorphous, subject to stress, strain and fatigue. The most important agitations of space [are] sound, heat and odour" (p.3). Connor expresses that these agitations are carried by air and fill space. Buildings defend and sustain their interiority; air creates an apparent atmosphere within architecture.

ZVUK PROSTORA – enterijeri su uvek zbirke zvukova, čak i kada, naizgled, vlada u njima potpuna tišina. Sve ima neki svoj ton i to nije samo pitagorejska tema, već recimo i Džona Kejdža ili Juhanija Palasme. O tim vezama je isto moglo biti više reči. Currently, Zumthor works out of his small studio with around 30 employees, in Haldenstein, near the city of Chur, in Switzerland. [10] Recognition [ edit ] Relation of materials with each other, every material with endless possibility. So this capability is an extraordinary sense of presence and understanding the nature of individual materials which comes with the experience and time.Furthermore, Zumthor gives the readers an account of what is the process to build—to assess different qualities and variants of elements and proportions—coalescing them to create seamlessly built sequences within the interior and the exterior. Zumthor’s poetics for spatial design attempts to build an exchange between the built, the surroundings and the users. For me, the book, though sparse, invites me to investigate architecture in a light that is more introspective and sensitive. It offers me the perspective to look at details that are mediated, personal and so infinite, with a mindful eye. a b Bell, Jonathan, "Dark arts: Peter Zumthor and Louise Bourgeois' brooding Steilneset memorial", 4 July 2011. Retrieved 19 January 2017. Jean Baudrillard in The System of Objects [14] used the term ‘atmosphere’ within the context of interior design to refer to the status image of consumption. The functional interior design, in Baudrillard’s description, is created of the combination of objects. This gives interior design its function. Objects within a space are constructed rather than inherent. Objects determine spaces of place. The objects placed in an interior create a certain atmosphere sought by the inhabitant. Objects act as replacements, products of mass production. Putting objects in a space is a means of expressing yourself. Thus the interior, through a series of cultural connotations takes on its ‘atmospheric’ qualities, where the term is used to describe a personal expression of status. the almost imperceptible transition between the inside and the outside, an incredible sense of place, an unbelievable feeling of concentration when we suddenly become aware of being enclosed, of something enveloping us, keeping us together, holding us—whether we be many or single… Architecture knows this and uses it.”Finally, he moves on to surroundings and the impact of memory on the importance of a place. He carefully considers how memory is used to locate buildings and architecture in peoples’ minds. I thought it was a fascinating hypothesis, and I thought about my memories regarding old homes. I feel he makes a strong case, though I’d have to read more before I can make a reasonably educated conclusion.

Satu persoalan timbul tentang mengapa dan bagaimana sesebuah ruang tersebut boleh mempengaruhi emosi individu. Sebagai contoh, bagaimana mahu mencipta ruang supaya ianya berfungsi dengan baik sehingga pengguna dapat merasai dan menghargai setiap ruang yang diciptakan tersebut. Hal ini timbul semasa pertama kali lawatan aku ke Universiti Melbourne, kerana ruang-ruang yang disediakan di Universiti tersebut sangat kondusif dan bagi aku ianya sebuah ruang yang mengalakkan percambahan idea. Perkara ini juga terjawab sedikit lepas aku menonton cerita Stanford Prison Experiment dan hari ni aku rasa terjawab banyak lepas baca buku ni. Anthony Gormley- ‘Cave’ 2019 https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibition/antony-gormley accessed 16/12/20 The book is designed beautifully, an effortless compilation with images of projects built and in construction along with other illustrations that support the text. The simply produced book is minimalistic, yet carefully designed to embody the style of Peter Zumthor. The scale, layout and cover material of the book displays the atmospheric quality that Zumthor talks about. Bruder Klaus Chapel by Peter Zumthor_Archdaily The book poses Peter Zumthors’s understanding, values and biases about atmosphere and architecture and how construction is not just a physical or an aesthetic phenomenon but rather a philosophical one. Moreover, the book explains his style and approach as he negotiates with the physicality of the form and material to produce emotional sensibilities that stimulate and move people. a b Frearson, Amy, "Peter Zumthor creates buildings on stilts for tourist trail at a Norwegian mine", dezeen.com, 10 June 2016. Retrieved 19 January 2017.Atmospheres is a poetics of architecture and a window into Zumthor's personal sources of inspiration. In nine short, illustrated chapters framed as a process of self-observation, Zumthor describes what he has on his mind as he sets about creating the atmosphere of his houses: images of spaces and buildings that affect him are every bit as important as particular pieces of music or books that inspire him.
