Peter Zumthor - Bruder Klaus Chapel

Photobucket

The Bruder Klaus Chapel is located in Southern Germany. It was designed by Peter Zumthor and built by the local farmers who had commissioned it.

They poured 5cms of concrete a day until the structure was complete.

 The framework inside was built from timber logs which were then burnt out, giving the inside a blackened effect.

The holes in the walls were formed from the concrete ties.
