Peter ZUMTHOR - (1988) - Saint Benedict Chapel (Sumvitg - Switzerland)

Peter Zumthor says that in the context of an architectural object the materials can assume poetic quality. Then, it's necessary to produce in the self object a right connection between form and meaning, since by itself the materials are not poetic. In fact in this isolated Chapel in Saint Benetig, that he is able to full reason to denominate object of architectural design, the material it is pure poetry. Zumthor has realized a construction that's itself, that's at the service of the function and that it's a belonging ingredient to the things world, able to live without the rhetoric of the planner having in herself a strong atmosphere leading. The road to arrive has been hard and tortuous, but it has been as a purification journey from all the traditional archetypes to get inebriate itselves of the Alps strength and beauty, necessary condition to well understand this small masterpiece.

Italian TEXT_________________________________

Peter Zumthor dice che nel contesto di un oggetto architettonico i materiali possano assumere qualità poetiche. A tal fine, occorre generare nell'oggetto stesso un legame adeguato fra forma e significato, poiché di per sé i materiali non sono poetici. Bene in questa isolata cappella in Saint Benetig, che si può a piena ragione denominare oggetto di design architettonico, il materiale è pura poesia. Zumthor ha realizzato una costruzione che è sé stessa, che è al servizio della funzione e che è un elemento appartenente al mondo delle cose, capace di fare a meno della retorica del progettista avendo in se stessa una forte atmosfera di fondo. La strada per arrivarci è stata dura e tortuosa, ma è stato come un percorso di depurazione da tutti gli archetipi tradizionali per inebriarsi della forza e bellezza delle Alpi, condizione necessaria per capire a pieno questo piccolo capolavoro.

  • En mi tierra diriamos "vamos a lo que vamos", esta me parece la forma mas simple de describir el diseno de esta capilla, totalmente en armonia con el ambiente, interesante definitivamente. El video me gusto muchisimo, creo que logra captar la esencia de lo que representa este inmueble y como se inmersa dentro del entorno. Tanti saluti!

    Non è facile "documentare" uno SPAZIO cosi' piccolo !
