Personal Drawing

Personal Depiction

Below is the final product of multiple attempts to illustrate an aerial view of the rooftop of the spa.




I was interested in how Zumthor designed the building to fit into the topography and geography of the setting. Though my poor rendition does not accurately show this, the roof seems to jut from the hills. The building seems to be set into the slope, suggesting that the complex is a natural extension of the environment. Another way Zumthor incorporates the building into the setting is by lining the rooftop with soft grass to mimic the flower and greenery carpeting the Swiss hillside.
