Influential Architect

Peter Zumthor is my favourite architect, who is a Swiss architect. Peter doesn’t have a large number of productions. While, most works are good works. We can see the philosophy behind Peter’s work. For example, Bruder Klaus Field Chapel is designed Peter team. The method of construction is very interesting, beginning with a wigwam made of 112 trees trunks. Concrete were poured on the surface of wigwam. When the concrete of all24 layers had set, the wooded frame was set on fire, leaving behind a charred wall. I think that implies the role of chapel. People wash to be saved in the church.

Second architecture is Zaha Hadid, she was the first woman to receive to Pritzker Architecture Prize, in 2004. Zaha usually breaks tradition in architecture design. She have been practicing the idea of ‘ architecture more architecture’, so there will be innovative works that go beyond the realistic made of thinking and break through.
