First 5 of 10
Church San Benedetg: Zumvitg, Switzerland, by Peter Zumthor.
Arguably, one of those projects where everything is perfect. (Well, except for those ugly cupboards they´ve put near the door. I won´t be showing photos of those.)
We set ourselves a limit of 5 of the most basic moments:
(1) form : impression
_photo by artist Hiroshi Sugimoto
(2) door : threshold
(3) window : light
(4) structure : materiality
(5) quiet : context
Is my summary. In short, if you find yourself lost in the mountains of Switzerland, make sure you find this little place, it´s incredible.
Now for some other links from people who took better photos than me and did more research:
