When architects design buildings in places that are not well known to them, the interpretations of local and regional traditions are often sharpened. The unfamiliarity allows the architect to see the building traditions of a place with fresh eyes. In his built and unrealised work in the Nordic countries, the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor has explored the traditions of these places with a particular sensitivity towards topography, daylight and materiality.
