- Form / FormlessPeter Zumthor's Models
- Abstract
- Can we grasp the atmosphere of Peter Zumthor’s work through his architectural models? And what do these reveal when read simultaneously with his buildings? Starting from this premise, Mathieu Berteloot and Véronique Patteeuw offer an alternative reading of the architect’s work, going beyond the question of form and disorganising the architect’s production. The models are central to Zumthor’s practice and embody key architectural concepts regarding the relations of structure, space and landscape. Using Georges Bataille’s concept of ‘formless’, the authors reveal how these models function as constructed realities: hollowed out, sculpted and assembled; enabling the simultaneity of form and its sublimation.
