Nabokov makes it clear that his passion and compassion for memories always happen in the present and only in the present, and that his happiest moments are right now, right here, perfectly captured in the presence of butterflies. I've said it before and I say it again because it is so important to me: I want my architecture to be linked to layers of life and time; I want to understand why and how a particular object might set in motion a particular strain of emotions and memories. And architecture is about history precisely then when it ties in with the world of the here and now. Places and buildings are real, they are concrete, they are here.

The gallery level contains 27 concrete rectangles, of which two house rest rooms, and another connects to a ground-level theater. The remaining 24 rectangles enclose "core galleries" suitable for showing light-sensitive works. Though the galleries are strict rectangles, they vary in size and degree of squareness.

"The building has no columns! Instead, there are seven 30-foot-tall park-level pavilions that support the entire exhibition space. That's three football fields long with supporting cantilevers that hold people, glass, artwork—cantilevers that are 60 feet long."

Zumthor realiza una exploración objetiva de fenómenos subjetivos, como la experiencia y las percepciones, para establecer en el espacio arquitectónico esa influencia física y emocional. #zumthor #arquitectura #architecture #architettura

The intensity of a brief experience, the feeling of being utterly suspended in time, beyond past and future—this belongs to many, perhaps even to all sensations of beauty. Something that has the radiation of beauty strikes a chord in me, and later, when it is over, I say: I was completely at one with myself and the world, at first holding my breath for a brief moment, then utterly absorbed and immersed, filled with wonder, feeling the vibrations, effortlessly excited and calm as well, enthralled by the magic of the appearance that has struck me. Feelings of joy. Happiness. The countenance of a sleeping child, unaware of being watched. Serene, undisturbed beauty. Nothing is mediated. Everything is itself. The flow of time has been halted, experience crystallized into an image whose beauty seems to indicate depth. While the feeling lasts, I have an inkling of the essence of things, of their most universal properties. I now suspect that these lie beyond any categories of thought.
