# Peter Zumthor (@peter-zumthor)

Peter Zumthor was a Swiss architect celebrated for atmospheric and materially precise buildings. The work is especially associated with sensory sequence, craft, local materials, silence, and intense attention to place. Major projects include Therme Vals, the Kolumba Museum, and the Bruder Klaus Field Chapel. A responsible account also considers a slow, site-specific practice that treats construction and perception as inseparable.
