See Zumthor. Pictures from Hans Danuser

Images also write history: With his radically subjective view of the buildings designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, artist Hans Danuser marked a milestone in the history of architectural photography in the 1980s and 1990s. His photographs transformed the photographic genre and the way we think about architecture and photography. This book gathers images of the Sogn Benedetg chapel, the protective structures over the Roman finds in Chur, and the Therme Vals. It continues the intense debate that the photographs sparked twenty years ago. A detailed conversation between Hans Danuser and Hochparterre editor-in-chief Köbi Gantenbein explores the circumstances of the collaboration with Peter Zumthor and questions how architectural photography has evolved since then. Art and architectural historian Philip Ursprung engages in a detailed analysis.
