Something connected to my career as a architecture

I'm studying architecture, so in this blog, I'll write about a building that I admire and why, and why I would like to do something like that in the future

The Therme Vals

The Therme Vals is a spa in Switzerland designed by Peter Zumthor and opened in 1996. I love this work for 2 reasons.

The first reason, this building works with its natural environment. It is half buried in the hill, has a green roof and was built with local quarry stone. This added to its low height helps to maintain these views and even improve them.

And the second reason, I love this architectural work because of the atmosphere inside. 

Peter Zumthor plays with light and shadow and with full and empty, creating a mysterious and interesting atmosphere that arouses my curiosity. I would like to walk through stone tunnels with a very beautiful texture and discover 2 beautiful big pools: 

one of them inside: surrounded by high stone walls

And the other one on the outside: it has nice views.

The environment varies depending on the quantity and quality of natural light indoors, the season of the year and the time of day, being in my opinion something very curious to observe, because the colors and shades change.

That is why I would like to do something like this in the future, work with many environments, through space, light and shadow and generate feelings in people since these atmospheres generate feelings for me. I just love it.
