Looking at Peter Zumthors sensitive depiction and analysation on perceiving and creating atmospheres.

“<Magic of the Real>

<Radical diatonism, forceful and distinctive rhythmical pronunciation, melodic clarity, harmonies plain and severe, a piercing radiance of tone colour, and finally, the simplicity and transparency of musical fabric, the stability of his formal structures> Andre boucourechiliev on the truly Russian Spirit of Igor Strawinsky’s musical grammar. “

The House Without a Form Exercise by Peter Zumpthor

Write a program for a house, not too big, it should be for somebody you know or you think you know, somebody you have emotional relationship to, and then give it a site, it should not be an abstract site but the one you can strongly feel for, you know what you are talking about when you talk about this site, and then you have to present a design of your house but you can not use plans and sections and you can not use models.

Are you in an architecture program or doing a pre-degree (in like Urban Planning or Geography or Physics etc)? Whats the most difficult part of architecture, and whose your favourite architect?

I’m in an Architecture Program. My degree is a bachelors of Architectural Science. It’s pretty vocational which is kind of frustrating.

I think constantly trying to push your creativity is pretty hard. You’re never finished, something can always be changed or perfected so it’s hard to know when to stop especially if you’re a perfectionist. But the design side is what I love.

Personally i struggled a lot with how subjective it is, there’s no right or wrong answer because everything is subject to taste. So you’re never really sure where you stand. You can get horrible feedback and then do well in final assessment or get great feedback and then fall flat. I think as long as everything is thought out and has a reason there’s no wrong answer which is both liberating and terrifying. I think the key is to just pursue you own ideas, sure listening to others and their critiques is important but sometimes you need to just trust yourself and your vision.

I don’t have one. There’s a lot of architects that I admire such a Frank lloyd Wright, Hans Scharoun, Herman Hertzberger, Antoni Gaudi, Mies Van Der Rohe, Louis Kahn, Rem Koolhaus, Glenn Mercutt, Kengo Kuma, Peter Zumpthor not to mention many many architecture firms. I could go on forever,

Friday Five with Melissa Hanley of Blitz

Melissa Hanley, AIA, IIDA, LEED AP, is co-founder, principal, and CEO of Blitz, a California architecture and interiors studio paving the way for high-performance, human-centered commercial spaces. She heads up the design teams, manages operations, brand strategy, and project delivery, all while acting as the managing principal of their San Francisco office. Hanley brings her workplace expertise to innovative companies, like Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Dropbox, Spotify, UC Berkeley, Soundcloud, Fitbit, and many more, making sure each project meets the needs of the clients while also being a beautiful place to work in every day. She grew up as the child of a contractor and fine woodworker, which left a lasting imprint on her design style where exploration and experimentation often lead to creative design solutions. The California native earned a Bachelor of Arts in architecture with a minor in city and regional planning from the University of California, Berkeley, and went on to work for a mid-sized firm. When she and Seth Hanley, AIA, were laid off during the recession, they joined forces to launch Blitz in 2009 and got married along the way. The growing practice expanded to Los Angeles in recent times and both studios stay busy working on projects throughout the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia. In this Friday Five, the busy architect shares a few of her favorite things, from pens to a vintage car.

1. MUJI .38 Gel Pens I’m a huge all-around MUJI fan, but I particularly adore their gel pens. The fine tip is excellent for my style of sketching and I appreciate that they are not so expensive as to feel precious. I always have several in a variety of colors in my bag or at my desk.

2. 1970 Citroen DS The Citroen DS speaks to a romantic era of optimistic futurism that I really love. Designed by Italian sculptor and industrial designer Flaminio Bertoni and French aeronautical engineer André Lefèbvre, it floats on a hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension. It’s a fun contrast of themes: whimsical but elegant, executive but sporty, space-age but classic. Generally a weird and wonderful car.

3. My dog, Ambrosia At 15 years old, Ambrosia is my longest relationship. She’s a founding member of Blitz and has been all over the country with us. It’s hard to be stressed out with that cute little face snorting her way around the studio and she brings a lovely sense of levity to our work.

4. Vintage Krenit Bowls in Lime Green My mom was an avid antique collector and some of my favorite memories are from our epic weekend garage sale journeys. I still love antiquing and I could easily be a hoarder of eclectic things, so I try to limit my collections. The one thing that I obsess over and never hold back on if I come across one in my travels is vintage Krenit bowls in lime green. The lime green is harder to find, so when I do find one I get pretty excited. Originally designed by Herbert Krenchel in 1953, the lime green is not part of the relaunch by Norman Copenhagen making the vintage finds all the more special.

5. Ricola Elderflower and Eucalyptus Herb Lozenges I recently discovered the Ricola Elderflower and Eucalyptus lozenges on a trip to Switzerland. Of course, I’ve long been familiar with the traditional throat lozenge, but had never seen the eucalyptus version and it was a revelation! I know it’s a bit bizarre to “love” a lozenge, but the eucalyptus reminds me simultaneously of home (my parents have a large eucalyptus grove on their farm), travels, and gives me a resounding feeling of wellness. I specifically found these when I made the pilgrimage to Therme Vals with my husband (also an architect, and co-founder of our firm, Blitz). The visit to the Peter Zumpthor baths was nothing short of a spiritual experience. These little lozenges transport me back.

In anticipation of spring's arrival, we're seeking inspiration from the 2011 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor and landscape by Dutch designer Piet Oudolf. Zumthor's obsession with an enclosed garden, a contemplative room or "a garden within a garden" as he says, gives way to spare architecture in matt black; a host for a planted central path and light well.

It's the perennial botanicals and flowering veg that inspire a set of spring's quintessential floral prints in the form of elongated dresses and a fleece sweater. In the enclosed garden, soft grasses are punctuated with red claret astrantia and bergamot flowers. A palette similar to Carven's pullover and Rachel Comey's ankle-length dress. The Zumthor and Oudolf project, as with all Serpentine Gallery pavilions, was a fleeting moment living for only three months that year. The dresses, however, are an annual staple to be pulled out for any garden party held in the days of early spring.
