the body of architecture




"Architecture expresses itself, not by the emptiness it occupies, but by what actually surrounds us...whether it is skin, or leather, or limestone, or cherry wood.
They produce a feeling on your skin, on your body...i am concerned very much with physicality, the body of architecture".
p.zumthor
[the synthetic irony of these images, however, intrigues me in terms of the feeling that they are able to provoke versus the ephemeral qualities and material integrity that zumthor describes].
