Someone I admire in my field is Peter Zumthor. He is a Swiss architect.

He was born on 26 April 1943 in Brasel, Swiss. His buildings explore the sensory qualities of the spaces and materials like a modern-minimalist style.

Zumthor has taught at Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles (1988), the Technical University of Munich (1989), Tulane University (1992), and the Harvard Graduate School of Design (1999). Since 1996, he is professor at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio.

I really like him, because he made a simple architecture, mix the architecture with the arts, the materials, you can feel the architecture, because he design the spaces to the inside from the outside, The projects are small and complex, he is like a poet-architect.
