"Coop Himmelblau is an idea of creating architecture with fantasy, as buoyant and variable as clouds."

"Architecture has to react to our movements, feelings, moods, emotions, so that we want to live within it."

"We want architecture that has more. Architecture that bleeds, that exhausts, that whirls, and even breaks. Architecture that lights up stings, rips, and tears under stress. ARchitecture has to be cavernous, fiery, smooth, hard, angular, brutal, round, delicate, colorful, obscene, lustful, dreamy, attracting, repelling, wet, dry, and throbbing. Alive or dead. If cold, then cold as a block of ice. If hot, then hot as a blazing wing. Architecture must blaze."

"The differentiated spatial situations no longer separate - at most, they present the challenge of taking possession of the space."

"The development of architecture is furthered by strategies comprising searching for lines and fields of possibilities tied together by chance, anti-logic, and anti-authority."

"Architecture is now."

Work With Light, Color, Facade

PETER ZUMTHOR

Kunsthaus Bregenz | Light and Material

- The architecture is there to support a spiritualized experience:

The surface you walk on. 

The things you touch. 

The weathering of the materials.

The history of the place.

"I think that the hidden structures and constructions of a house should be organized in such a way that they endow the body of the building with a quality of inner tension and vibration."

-Peter Zumthor

Higgins Hall - A Contrast

"Architecture must remain experimental and open to new ideas and aspirations in the face of conservative forces that constantly push it toward the already proven, already built, and already thought. Architects must explore the not yet felt."

"By weaving form, space, and light, architecture can elevate the experience of daily life through the various phenomena that emerge from specific sites, programs, and architectures."

"Proceeding through space in the city we move within a network of overlapping perspectives in motion. As the body advances, vistas open and close--distant, middle, and near views palpitate. The promenade elicits a host of spontaneous intertwined experiences within the urban space."

-Steven Holl

Forced Interaction and Color

-No single specific function can be matched with a single place

-Exploit what is happening between people

-There is no form; space serves as catalyst for activities

"All latent potential of the skyscraper as a type is exploited in a masterpiece of the Culture of Congestion, a Constructivist Social Condenser materialized in Manhattan."

"To generate density, exploit proximity, provoke tension, maximize friction, organize in-betweens, promote filtering, sponsor identity, and stimulate blurring, the entire program is incorporated in a single container."

Orientation of who you are and where you are

Exodus : Inbetween exploration of Division between cities.

 Isolation, inequality, aggression, destruction.
