Peter Zumthor quotes and sayings page 3 (81 year old architect). Here's quote # 21 through 30 out of the 32 we have for him.
“Architecture to me is whole. I cannot say I only care about this 25% and the other 75% I let go... it's just I want to work the way I want to work. In my shop, you can order certain things and other things you cannot. They are not available.”
“There is still a real need for good quality architecture, not paper architecture, but the real stuff.”
“If I look at history, it seems that most wars and most cruel things have been done by men and not by women.”
“I think the chance of finding beauty is higher if you don't work on it directly. Beauty in architecture is driven by practicality. This is what you learn from studying the old townscapes of the Swiss farmers.”
“Architecture has its place in the concrete world. This is where it exists. This is where it makes its statement.”
“I've built two wooden houses near Vals. I built them for my wife. Those were private projects.”
“If, early on, you know how things are put together, then you can build. The architect is in charge of making - he is not an artist.”
“My first buildings, when I was about 30, were rejected for aesthetic reasons.”
“Normally, architects render a service. They implement what other people want. This is not what I do. I like to develop the use of the building together with the client, in a process, so that as we go along we become more intelligent.”
“When I concentrate on a specific site or place for which I am going to design a building, I try to plumb its depths, its form, its history and its sensuous qualities.”
