Abstract
La Capilla de Sogn Benedetg en Sumvitg,
parte de la obra temprana de Peter Zumthor,
condensa aspectos de sus ideas, de su forma
de proyectar y construir, que aún hoy siguen
vigentes en él. Los recuerdos de infancia
cimientan su enfoque de la arquitectura, en el
que trata de reunir trazas de la vida cotidiana,
sensible al lugar y utilizando materiales
tratados de un modo preciso que bajo la luz
adquieren su presencia. Con un lenguaje
táctil y tectónico, desde una aproximación
fenomenológica, persigue compartir una
experiencia multisensorial, englobando
percepciones complementarias que
trascienden la geometría visual. Como Kahn,
se apoya en el pensamiento de Heidegger, y
se inspira en la pequeña cabaña que el filósofo
habitaba en la Selva Negra, así como en la
arquitectura religiosa de Rudolf Schwarz, cuya
huella puede apreciarse tanto en el edificio
como en los objetos que se encuentran en
él. La tensión que genera entre interior y
exterior mantiene despiertos los sentidos del
visitante, a la vez que las características de la
capilla enlazan con un regionalismo integrador
que no se aparta de las formas abstractas
contemporáneas.
Sogn Benedetg Chapel in Sumvitg, part of the early work of Peter Zumthor, condenses aspects of his ideas and his way of designing and building, which still remain valid today. Remembrances of childhood lay the foundation for his focus to architecture, which involves the collection of daily life traces, sensitive to the place and using materials treated in a precise manner, acquiring their presence under the light. With a tactile and tectonic language, from a phenomenological approach, he seeks to share a multi-sensory experience, encompassing complementary perceptions that transcend the visual geometry. As Kahn does, he relies on Heidegger’s thinking and is inspired by the little hut that the philosopher inhabited in the Black Forest, as well as by Rudolf Schwarz’s religious architecture, whose imprint can be appreciated in both the building and the objects encountered within it. The tension generated between interior and exterior keeps awake the senses of the visitor, while the characteristics of the chapel connect with an integrative regionalism that does not exclude contemporary abstract forms.
