Quotation |

|
![](../images/spacer.gif) |
"When I come across a building that has developed a special presence in connection with the place it stands in, I sometimes feel that it is imbued with an inner tension that refers to something over and above the place itself. It seems to be part of the essence of its place, and at the same time it speaks of the world as a whole. When an architectural design draws solely from tradition and only repeates the dictates of its site, I sence a lack of a genuine concern with the world and the emanations of contemporary life. If a work of architecture speaks only of contemporary trends and sophisticated visions without triggering vibrations in its place, this work is not anchored in its site, and I miss the specific gravity of the ground it stands on."
Peter Zumthor, "From passion for things to the things themselves. 1994", in Thinking Architecture, Birkhäuser 1998, p. 36-37 |
