“It was a quarry and then it became more of a construction site. The process was not deciding shadow but letting the light in and letting the view come in”
— Peter Zumthor

“Designing is a matter of concentration. You go deep into what you want to do. It’s about intensive research, really. The concentration is warm and intimate and like the fire inside the earth – intense but not distorted. You can go to a place, really feel it in your heart. It’s actually a beautiful feeling.”
— Peter Zumthor
