Description
Offered here is Atmospheres: Architectural Environments – Surrounding Objects by Peter Zumthor, published by Birkhäuser and printed in Germany. This is the 2012 reprint of the influential 2006 edition, a cloth hardcover in English by the Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architect.
Zumthor develops the ideas from his 2003 lecture at the Kunstscheune, Wendlinghausen Castle, explaining how buildings create mood through light, sound, materials, temperature, and proportion. The book has become a modern classic of architectural theory, widely used in architecture schools and cherished by practicing architects who appreciate Zumthor’s phenomenological, sensory approach to space.
