Zumthor expresses architecture as a physical poetry, symbolic, but, on further understanding, one realises the truth. These are the extents of each one of us in the scope of infinity. Such experiences help us understand the meaning in a situation, interaction and existence. Peter Zumthor, in his book Thinking Architecture, emphasises on exploring spatial experiences which act as a reservoir of atmospheres to rely upon during the design phase of his projects. All of us have experienced atmospheres composed of cities we’ve visited, places we’ve lived in, people we’ve interacted with, and the objects that have made their presence felt. While moving through spaces, often we are lost in our lives, blurring our senses until the atmosphere is strong enough to divert our attention. As we enter any space, through our senses we feel the atmosphere, initiating phenomenological reactions in our mind, concluding the experience of our existence. Humans perceive the physical realm through sensory organs. Blur Building for Swiss Expo Pavilion, 2002 / Architect: Diller Scofidio + Renfro / Photography: Beat Widmer
