About this deal
Format: Hardcover, 112pp , 236x147x17mm
The publication Habitat: Ecology Thinking in Architecture aims to highlight some of the historical sources of ecological approaches that are currently reshaping the architectural field. By demonstrating the continuities, disruptions and transformations at stake, the book deepens the ongoing conversations, while suggesting directions for future research. In his texts, Peter Zumthor articulates what motivates him to design his buildings, which appeal to the visitor's heart and mind in so many different ways and possess a compelling and unmistakable presence and aura. Now in its third edition, this book has been expanded to include two new essays: "Architecture and Landscape" deals with the relationship between the structure and its surroundings, with the secret of the successful placement and topographical integration of architecture. The book points out the paradigmatic shift in thinking about the built environment as something inherently contextual and relational.
Author: Peter Zumthor.
