Going back in time, bathing as one might have a thousand years ago, creating a building, a structure set into the slope with an architectural attitude and aura older than anything already built around it, inventing a building that could somehow always have been there, a building that relates to the topography and geology of the location, that responds to the stone masses of Vals Valley, pressed, faulted, folded and sometimes broken into thousands of plates-these were the objectives of our design.'

Sie hat für den Bau von (Thermal-)Bädern Massstäbe gesetzt. Der Architekt Peter Zumthor (\*1943), der zuerst Innenarchitektur und Design an der damaligen Kunstgewerbeschule Basel, anschliessend Architektur und Industriedesign am Pratt Institute New York studierte, realisiert seit 1979 mit seinem eigenen Atelier in Haldenstein herausragende Bauten, u.a. das Kunsthaus Bregenz (1997) oder das Kunstmuseum Kolumba Köln (2007). 2009 erhielt er für sein Gesamtschaffen den Pritzker Preis, den «Nobelpreis der Architektur». Dieses Buch dokumentiert mit Texten, Fotografien, Plänen und Zumthors Skizzen die Überlegungen und Entstehungsgeschichte der Therme Vals. Die Aufnahmen der Architekturfotografin Hélène Binet vermitteln, was man als Besucher erlebt: die Qualität des Baus und die elementaren Kräfte des Wassers, der Steine und des Tals, in dem sich dieses einmalig gebliebene Bad befindet. «Berg, Stein, Wasser - Bauen im Stein, Bauen mit Stein, in den Berg hineinbauen, aus dem Berg herausbauen, im Berg drinnen sein, am Ort, wo das Valser Thermalwasser entspringt -, wie lassen sich die Bedeutungen und die Sinnlichkeit, die in der Verbindung dieser Wörter stecken, architektonisch interpretieren, in Architektur umsetzen Entlang dieser Fragestellungen haben wir das Bauwerk entworfen, hat es Schritt für Schritt Gestalt angenommen.» Peter Zumthor.
