“I never decided to become an architect.” | Architect Peter Zumthor | Louisiana Channel

- We visited Peter Zumthor - one of the world’s leading architects - in his studio in Switzerland. In this extensive and rare biographical video interview, he tells the captivating story of his childhood, his studies in NYC and his parents’ strong influence.
Zumthor - who works from the small town of Haldenstein in Switzerland - likes being outside the big centres of the world, as it frees him of having to consider the opinions of his fellow colleagues: “If you work like an artist, you need your own separate space.” He does, however, also work well in the “anonymous sound” of a city, where it is also possible to find calm in “a protective ocean of sound.” There are, Zumthor feels, different kinds of silence, and finding one’s mental silence - being able to concentrate - is what is most important in order to work well.
“There’s nothing I’m not interested in.” Zumthor loves literature and music, but prides himself in taking an overall interest in different things, as it fuels him: “It’s a nourishing ground.” His constant appetite for learning gives him the tools to be able to understand whatever place or landscape he needs to work in, and being able to “feel a space” and having an idea of how to react as an architect, is essential. When he designs his innovative architecture, Zumthor furthermore puts great emphasis on connecting the old with the new, rather than breaking with history. Likewise, he feels that all architects have a great social responsibility when it comes to creating buildings, which are both well crafted and sustainable.
Anything can be considered art as long as it’s done with personal devotion to the making of it, Zumthor argues: “I never decided to become an architect.” Starting out as an industrial designer, it was not until 1968 that he made the decision of becoming an architect and began participating in competitions, thinking to himself: “I can do this better.” As for the first competition he entered, he was kicked out in the first round - a pivotal experience that made him aware of the need to always improve.
Peter Zumthor (b. 1943) is a Swiss architect. Among his best-known projects are the Kunsthaus Bregenz in Austria, the thermal baths in Vals in Switzerland, the Swiss Pavilion for Expo 2000 in Hannover (an all-timber structure intended to be recycled after the event) and the Kolumba Diocesan Museum in Cologne. Zumthor is the winner of several prestigious awards such as the 1998 Carlsberg Architecture Prize, the Mies van der Rohe Award for European Architecture (1999), the Praemium Imperiale (2008), the 2009 Pritzker Architecture Prize and the 2013 RIBA Royal Gold Medal. He lives and works in Switzerland.

His style looks so cold yet feels like home and warmth. His work is an expression of himself , such a great mind and heart! Amazing artist!
His works speak the volume of his personality - muted, calm, silent, mediated, poetic, nature, etc. It's an architecture of time. I ran out of words for his work, I just crave and wonder what and when he'll come out with another project!
Love his architectural language. His architecture is like poetry.
I find different views of architecture interesting, perhaps its the black and white images but for me the architecture shown in this video does not give me a feeling of happiness, on the contrary it feels repressive to me, like a monument to the Holocaust for instance, a place for reflection but also a place you would sink into depression if you stayed for long.
It is like a lingo of a doctor or lawyer.

Not like, but is poetry.
me too！
His voice itself is some kind of spoken silence.
i have to agree with this :"
So much so the sound technician or mix master failed to allow many to hear properly.
Peter how bless you are working as an architect. I decided to be an architect when I was 7 years. I worked as an architect in my native country. I moved to other country. I graduated as an architect twice even though my qualifications were recognised but I never had the opportunity and I am very sad. Congratulations your work is excellent.
This video is already a classic..Much appreciated!
Such a joy to listen to someone so inspired and humble . Thank you .
So glad you enjoyed it!
Unbelievably beautiful interview by a thoughtful, insanely unique and interesting person.
Peter seems like a genuine talented person. His works are both brilliant and atmospheric.
Mesmerized by his work, I absolutely love his style of architecture, the emotions he evokes thought his materials and the way he collaborates with nature...Peter Zumthor, to me one of the greatest!
Beautiful architecture, and amazing person
soporific! Fascinating! Wonderful! Woah! Ah! Soporific!
“Look first then say something”
👌
Absolutely love his story.
Thanks a lot, it helped me get to know more about him and his works.
This was so stunning! I so much wish to be your student!
Sincerity of intent and clarity of necessity...we are alone in the tide of reality. There is always hope.
Thanks for sharing this interview, really inspiring.
A conversation between him and Werner Herzog would be amazing.
Absolutely the Professor...

감사합니다ㆍ 🌹
I was asked to make some spanish subtitles for this. I could upload it once I'm done if anyone's interested.
Alguien me pidió que subtitulara esta entrevista al español. Si a alguien le interesa que la suba a youtube, pueden responder a este comentario.
Kotau si tenes el subtitulo estaria buenisimo que lo subas! Seria genial para mostrar en la clase de arquitectura. Gracias!
Kotau Hola, me serviría mucho, gracias. Saludos
a mucha gente le gustaría. Ponte en contacto con el canal para no infringir copyright en todo caso
por favor, seria genial.
wow this man is awesome
I like what he said on 16:31 Art in everything.
so good
Bravo!
16:41 I find it funny how architects sort of stumble into the profession more than to aspire to become one.
...at some point equinox on channel 4.. showed an item on early warning systems some ideas I had never come across since.. just the sound!
Phenomenology speaking
Norman Foster is a marvelous designs presented by the video . His views are natural and picturesque.Consume d the energy
i would have loved to hear the questions, too
10:46 I like this part.
MerryChristmas,& Happy2020 Mr.Zumthor has any projects with 3dprintings in any or his work by any chance?
the Legend

I like his silence,want to USA learn architectural,I work in xi'an China for 6years,but don't know many things and want know more,think is just a way to be a good architect but not all.
You can see his architecture in
music video "Everytime" Janet Jackson
This video deserved a much better sound quality, its hard to understand the audio
tears
There are international airporst 1.5 hours from LA. San Diego is 1.8 hours. The USA is big, but not that big.
A very phenomenological architect
this guy is so elemental he could have designed Stonehenge
This video is great, but the audio mixing is pretty bad when listening in headphone - only comes out the left ear.
WE Like!
3:47 хороший баланс строений и растений. действительно - присутствует тишина.

ARCH 114 01 Building design and theory II, i was here
If anyone have case study on this project please share with me
He lost me when he said we shouldn't do this just to earn money... he just validated every boss, developer, client who is out to exploit architects . He didn't have to go there 😢
big architecture
he is thr best architect
Rosario Di Rosa yes ,sure the best.
the voice of God!
I find him really hard to understand, English subtitles would be great
The subtitles will make it even clearer that no one can follow his train of thought. I thought if I talked like he does, people would laugh at me. But they respect him even though they can't understand him because he has won all these prizes and therefore they think, he must be great. Having met him, as a person he is lovely and humble. So the conclusion is that probably his designs talk better than he does

audio is a mess
"there is something special about painting, and there is something special about music, and there is something special about literature, and there is something special about.....ZZZZzzzzz" *_falls asleep_*
What is this?
His work is ok, I can do better
I hate silence
I don't know why, but I've always disliked this guy, ... not his architecture though.
He is overrated.

Happy with yerself are ya?
I like the way he talks but please his design is once again those concrete windowless buildings that keep being worshipped by a small but powerful group of architects and no announcement to the people. Sorry but the architecture feels empty or voidless.
