Museum2007Cologne, Germany
Cologne diocesan museum: a new porous brick layer over wartime ruins.
Zumthor refuses a clean break between wreckage and rebuild; speckled light through brick shows time stacked in material.
Highlights
- Perforated brick — How does light through holes show the ruins?
- Junction with old masonry — Is the joint hidden or displayed?
