The Research On Refinement Expression Of Peter Zumthor's Architecture

In the contemporary western "star" architect, Peter Zumthor as winner of the 2009 Pritzker Prize, is a unique character. Zumthor is always far from the fashionable pioneer construction trend, his works pay more attention to an inner awakening, a real life and people's emotional experience, full thoughts of affablekind and esteem. His works is not much, but through meticulously design and deliberate, because each work carefully considers to the environment, technology, function and forms and so on, reflects concerns about different sensory experiences of architectural basic elements. At the same time, his works have characteristic of simplicity and plain, under the simple representation is extremely delicate intrinsic quality.Peter Zumthor's design ideology is various. Social transformation, culture and art trend, philosophy thoughts, technology of contemporary western and oncegraced modern architecture all have an effect on his complex and own characteristic design concepts. Especially various vanguard art has significant impact on Zumthor, and is manifested in construction forms. For example Arte Povera is search for form sources, the various forms of Concept art, Minimalism art contain rich connotation, all are proceeded architectural translation in his works; In construction field, Phenomenology of Architecture pay more attention to the relationship of human beings, architecture and nature, architectural spirit of place, expression of Substantive elements, the importance of experience and so on, it is the key factor of works generation; Criticizable inheritance of modernist architecture typically reflects profound thinking of building with age, architecture and social relations, and the relationship of architectural form, function and technique; under the influence of complicated thought, Zumthor's every work has unique originality, leaves infinite imagination and space.Secondly, Peter Zumthor's architectural creation technique is multiplex. He always pays attention to harmonious relationship of elements, reaches a personalized effect, fills with delicate and exquisite aesthetics. Under the guidance of architectural function, from plane, elevation and spatial scale make mechanical coding, formulate a unique language. Under the guidance of the construction technology, from structure, skin and joint make subtly polish. On the treatment of building environment, from new and old buildings, architectural form and spatial information, show him on construction sites and environmental unique insight and expression, even extend to natural environment, make it become part of nature. For Zumthor, architectural function, technique and environment is just part of the architectural design, don't exist the conflict between bull and bear, the thought makes it present a far-reaching effect.Finally, Peter Zumthor's architectural works also show diversiform quality. The architectural vocabulary of wors is very refined, rarely have pure ornament. The repeated combination of simple geometry, neither shows unique understanding and control ability, also reflects rational organization and integration of architectural function; In the process of space, time will enter frame, create a homogeneous discrete space quality, dynamic dormant light effect and walking vary time-space sequence; The refinement of works also find expression in the processing of architectural details, through the nodes of the fine, the meticulous treatment of material transfer and the precise color, make expression more profoundly. The works do not have any artificial form, but recount beauty in simplicity and truth.The thesis try to interpretate design idea, design technique and work characteristics of Peter Zumthor, form a comprehensive, objective understanding. In order to provide a kind of correct attitude about thinking relationship between architecture and age, have a clear understanding about the western architectural development direction and thinking trend. At the same time, the excellent design practice also provide reference to the exploration of the Chinese architecture.
