Det mener den sveitsiske arkitekten Peter Zumthor, som mandag presenterte et enestående prosjekt for Allmannajuvet i Sauda.
Peter Zumthors oppdrag i Sauda er så langt det største og mest prestisjefylte arkitekturprosjektet, og det frie valget av arkitekt følger samme prosedyre som gjorde at daværende kulturminister Åse Kleveland i sin tid kunne tildele Sverre Fehn Aasentunet i Ørsta/Volda.
Viktigere er det likevel at Zumthor er en fenomenologisk arbeidende arkitekt — og at ethvert spor av symbolisme eller figurasjon er nedtonet eller fraværende i hans arbeider.

 Thermal Baths, Vals by Peter Zumthor
During the early 1980s the community of Vals bought a bankrupt hotel consisting of three buildings from the 1960s, and commissioned Peter Zumthor to build a new thermal bath.
The building became a success in Switzerland: only two years after its opening it became a protected building; you can find photographs of it in any kind of magazine in that country; the name of the architect is well know to the common citizen of Graubünden; the village of Vals is again on the map.
Zumthor uses images of quarries and water flowing spontaneously from the ground to describe the conception of the building, ideas charged with an archaic atmosphere.
