Peter Zumthor describes his approach to architecture: 'Architecture has its own realm. It has a special physical relationship with life
'Basically I´m not interested in architecture as a profession on paper. I´m just saying this because many architects are not so interested in the real building, they are more interested in the theory of the building or only in some aspects of the building. I´m concerned about the material, how things are put together, not the way it looks, but the way it is. I´m interested in the building itself, how you see it, how you feel it, how it is made, the building as a body.' (Peter Zumthor interviewed in Berlage Papers 22, Autumn 1997, p.2)
