Peter Zumthor's Bruder Klaus Chapel


2009 Pritzker Prize winner and world renowned architect Peter Zumthor designed the Burder Klaus Chapel in Mechernich, Germany.  Built around 120 locally cut tree trunks the structure is cast concrete and features an oculus at the top.  This has to be one of my favorite works by Zumthor for its simplicity, monumentality, and the melancholy it is able to evoke.
