Text Quotes
Every time I imagine a garden in an architectural setting, it turns into a magical place. I think of gardens I have seen, that I believe I have seen, that I long to see, surrounded by simple walls, columns, arcades or the facades of buildings - sheltered places of great intimacy where I want to stay for a long time (Peter Zumthor Quotes)

My first buildings, when I was about 30, were rejected for aesthetic reasons (Peter Zumthor Quotes)
Architecture is not about form (Peter Zumthor Quotes)
Small museums are great. Big museums are a drag (Peter Zumthor Quotes)

I think of the patina of age on materials, of innumerable small scratches on surfaces, of varnish that has grown dull and brittle, and of edges polished by use (Peter Zumthor Quotes)
