Product Description
Book Description
著名建築家ピーター・ズントーが手がけたスイスアルプスのスパ施設「テルメ・ヴァルス」は、1996年にオープンするや否や、現代建築の象徴的存在となった。周辺の雄大な風景にインスピレーションを受けたズントーは、アルプスの急斜面を建設地に選び、ガラスを冠した屋根でスイスの牧草地を表現した。その姿が、本書の豪華な写真にとらえられている。1冊すべてをこの非凡な建築物に奉げた唯一の本『Peter Zumthor Therme Vals』は、建築家自身のオリジナルスケッチや設計図に加え、エレーヌ・ビネットの撮影した魅力的なスパの写真も収録している。建築研究家シーグリド・ハウザーの寄稿したエッセイでは、「アルテミス／ダイアナ」「洗礼」「ミクヴェ」「泉」といった切り口から、テルメ・ヴァルスの基本的要素と神話や水浴、純潔との結び付きが論じられている。
設計コンセプトや建設プロセスに関するピーター・ズントー本人の注釈により、地元で切り出された石材を使った理由など、建物と周囲の自然環境との共生的な関係が明かされている。テルメ・ヴァルスの景観的なデザイン要素とズントーが本書に寄せた文章は、自然の本質的要素を大切にするズントーの姿勢と、不必要に飾り立てられた建築に対する侮蔑の念を浮き彫りにしている。本書『Peter Zumthor Therme Vals』は、豊富な図版を織り交ぜながら、人里離れたスイスの村を世界的な建築の注目地に押し上げたスパを紹介している。すべての現代建築デザイン愛好家をとりこにする1冊だ。
Book Description
Therme Vals, the spa complex built in the Swiss Alps by celebrated architect Peter Zumthor, became an icon of contemporary architecture soon after its opening in 1996. Inspired by the spa’s majestic surroundings, Zumthor built the structure on the sharp grade of an Alpine mountain slope with grass-topped roofs to mimic Swiss meadows, captured here in a series of sumptuous images. Peter Zumthor Therme Vals, the only book-length study of this singular building, features the architect’s own original sketches and plans for its design as well as Hlne Binet’s striking photographs of the structure. Architectural scholar Sigrid Hauser contributes an essay on such topics as “Artemis/Diana,” “Baptism,” “Mikvah,” and “Spring”—drawing out the connections between the elemental nature of the spa and mythology, bathing, and purity.
Annotations by Peter Zumthor on his design concept and the building process elucidate the structure’s symbiotic relationship to its natural surroundings, revealing, for example, why he insisted on using locally quarried stone. Therme Vals’s scenic design elements, and Zumthor’s contributions to this book, reflect the architect’s commitment to the essential and his disdain for needless architectural flourishes. 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.
