Zumthor Valley

Peter Zumthor has a typic style, which is mostly based on paying attention to the environment and flowing with it. The relation that its models have with the location, is very interesting because it is difficult for most architects to choose the correct materials and designs that highlight the area but also do not overshadow nature.

I like the design in the picture because it captures a lot of natural light for the position, it also matches perfectly with the shape of the ground, as one of the principles that we learned in class, that the architects need to design houses, buildings, projects, accessible for everyone, and regardless the weird shape of the terrain.
