WEEK1_EXP2_Concepts

PETER ZUMTHOR

Thermal Bath Vals, Graubünden, Switzerland, 1996



  • A cavernous, labyrinthine building
  • Pathways created by the negative space
  • Outside and Inside - A clear distinction
  • Materiality - the building is connected to the natural envrionment by the natural materials
  • A dynamic space created by natural light and shadow




MIES VAN DER ROHE




  • Materiality - Boundaries between spaces is dissolved by the glass wall.  A sense of transparency of the space.
  • Juxtaposition between interior space and exterior space is diminished by the exposure of the interior space
  • Natural elements and landscape - Water, air, and light are part of building materials
  • A sense of lightness of building created by lightweight materials - glass and steel
  • Minimum division between building and natural environment
