Zumthor's Vals Thermal Baths in Switzerland

I still haven't met anyone that doesn't love Peter Zumthor, his published books have the largest resale value of any architecture book I have ever seen. I love his work simply because his views on architecture are so similar to mine, phenomenologically speaking of course. He overloads your senses, not only with light, texture, and sound, but gives his buildings a personality, an ego, a history, that makes them feel almost organic, as if it was an organism that was here to learn a become better than when it was created.

I don't know who made these videos, but Offensive77 is hosting them in his You Tube page, along with many other architecture videos. Enjoy these, I sure did.
