"What I try to do is the art of building, and the art of building is the art of construction; it is not only about forms and shapes and images." Peter Zumthor

Peter Zumthor's quote encapsulates his approach to architecture, which goes beyond mere aesthetics.

He believes that the true art of building lies in the art of construction itself.

According to Zumthor, it is not solely about creating visually appealing structures; instead, it involves a deeper understanding of the construction process.

He emphasizes that architecture should be rooted in the thoughtful and meticulous craftsmanship that goes into every aspect of a building's creation.

By highlighting the importance of both form and function, Zumthor reminds us that architecture is an intricate blend of artistic vision and practicality.
