Was �eine architektonische Atmosph�re wirklich ausmacht�, sagt Peter Zumthor, ist �diese einmalige Dichte und Stimmung, dieses Gef�hl von Gegenwart, Wohlbefinden, Stimmigkeit, Sch�nheit, ... in deren Bann ich etwas erlebe und erfahre, was ich in dieser Qualit�t sonst nicht erleben w�rde.�
Seine Leidenschaft gilt der Erschaffung von Geb�uden mit solchen Wirkungsqualit�ten, doch wie lassen sich diese eigentlich erzielen? In neun kurzen, illustrierten Kapiteln erz�hlt Peter Zumthor - gleichsam in Form einer Selbstbeobachtung- was ihn umtreibt, wenn er die Atmosph�re seiner H�user zu erschaffen versucht. Dabei sind Bilder von R�umen und Bauten, die ihn ber�hren, ebenso wichtig wie bestimmte Musikst�cke oder B�cher, die ihn inspirieren. Von der Komposition und Pr�senz der Materialien �ber den Umgang mit Proportionen bis hin zur Wirkung des Lichts macht diese Architekturpoesie nachvollziehbar, worauf es beim Entwurf von H�usern ankommt.
