The Kolumba Art Museum in Cologne, Germany, is another utilitarian design by Peter Zumthor. It sits atop the ruins of a former church and re purposes some of the remaining stonework. The inside consists of supporting concrete pillars which stand out against the stained wooden floors and stone remains of the destroyed church. The perforated wall sections let in light and highlight the stained glass within. This is definitely my favorite of Zumthor’s projects because I like the way he linked his minimalist style and made perfect use of the history of the location.
