Book Introduction
Peter Zumthor Therme Vals, the only book-length study of the mountain spa, features the architect's own original sketches and plans for its design as well as Helene Binet's striking photographs
Berg, Stein, Wasser: Die Therme Vals, Peter Zumthors Schlusselwerk, in einer kongenial schon gestalteten Monografie. Reduktion auf das Wesentliche auch in Buchform.
"The beginning was easy. Going back in time, bathing as one might have a thousand years ago, creating a building, a structure set into the slope with an architectural attitude and aura older than anything already built around it, inventing a building that could somehow always have been there, a building that relates to the topography and geology of the location, that responds to the stone masses of Vals Valley, pressed, faulted, folded and sometimes broken into thousands of plates-these were the objectives of our design." Peter Zumthor

Born in 1943, famed architect Peter Zumthor studied at the College of Applied Arts in Basel and the Pratt Institute in New York. In 2009, he was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize for his life's work, which includes the Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria, and Kolumba Art Museum in Cologne, Germany. His Therme Vals, the spa complex built into a Swiss Alp mountainside, became an icon of contemporary architecture soon after its opening in 1996.
Peter Zumthor Therme Vals, the only book-length study of the mountain spa, features the architect's own original sketches and plans for its design, as well as Helene Binet's striking photographs of the structure. Annotations by Zumthor elucidate Therme Vals's symbiotic relationship to its natural surroundings, and an essay on such topics as Artemis/Diana, Baptism, and Spring by architectural scholar Sigrid Hauser draw out the connections between the elemental nature of the spa and mythology, bathing, and purity. This lavishly illustrated volume about the spa that catapulted a remote Swiss village onto the international architecture scene will entrance all enthusiasts of contemporary design.
Die Therme Vals, 1996 eroffnet, wurde in kurzester Zeit zu einer Ikone der schweizerischen und internationalen Architektur. Sie hat fur den Bau von (Thermal-)Badern Massstabe gesetzt. Der Architekt Peter Zumthor (*1943), der zuerst Innenarchitektur und Design an der damaligen Kunstgewerbeschule Basel, anschliessend Architektur und Industriedesign am Pratt Institute New York studierte, realisiert seit 1979 mit seinem eigenen Atelier in Haldenstein herausragende Bauten, u.a. das Kunsthaus Bregenz (1997) oder das Kunstmuseum Kolumba Koln (2007). 2009 erhielt er fur sein Gesamtschaffen den Pritzker Preis, den ≪Nobelpreis der Architektur≫.
Diese englischsprachige Ausgabe?dokumentiert mit Texten, Fotografien, Planen und Zumthors Skizzen die Uberlegungen und Entstehungsgeschichte der Therme Vals. Die Aufnahmen der Architekturfotografin Helene Binet vermitteln, was man als Besucher erlebt: die Qualitat des Baus und die elementaren Krafte des Wassers, der Steine und des Tals, in dem sich dieses einmalig gebliebene Bad befindet.

≪Berg, Stein, Wasser - Bauen im Stein, Bauen mit Stein, in den Berg hineinbauen, aus dem Berg herausbauen, im Berg drinnen sein, am Ort, wo das Valser Thermalwasser entspringt -, wie lassen sich die Bedeutungen und die Sinnlichkeit, die in der Verbindung dieser Worter stecken, architektonisch interpretieren, in Architektur umsetzen? Entlang dieser Fragestellungen haben wir das Bauwerk entworfen, hat es Schritt fur Schritt Gestalt angenommen.≫ Peter Zumthor
