Based on previously unpublished material - including letters, sketches and photographs - as well as recent interviews with former students, assistants, colleagues and Zumthor himself, it examines the origins, historical context and far-reaching influence of his pioneering course \"Primo Anno\" (1996-1999) at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio. The \"Primo Anno\" exercises form the structural basis of the book, while thematically organized interviews open up diverse perspectives on Zumthor's thinking and his unique didactic approach. Narrative chapters connect these elements into a common thread, reflecting on the findings and placing them in a broader theoretical context. Based on his dissertation, written between 2018 and 2021, as well as previously unpublished materials and interviews, the Swiss-Brazilian architect Rafael Lorentz documents a rediscovery that not only sheds light on Zumthor's thinking, but also reveals his formative influence on the identity of the Accademia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rafael Lorentz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3037613440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037613443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Quart Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs","brand":"Rafael Lorentz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48517142282495,"sku":"9783037613443","price":89.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30b81140-8198-4805-ace4-0522173d7202.jpg?v=1778730188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-architecture-rafael-lorentz-9783037613443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
