德国科隆柯伦巴艺术博物馆
Kolumba Art Museum by Peter Zumthor

由普利兹克获得者，瑞士知名建筑师彼得·祖索尔Peter Zumthor设计的德国科隆柯伦巴艺术博物馆，坐落在二战中被炸毁的哥特式教堂旧址上。建筑屋顶轮廓线清晰鲜明，与周围环境严格的平行于街道，成功地赋予现存遗迹和历史应有的尊严。
灰砖在视线高度砌筑成半通透肌理的墙体，与废墟一起构成博物馆新的立面。光线从密封处进入内部空间，随着时间的变化，形成斑驳的光线，营造了一个平和而又不断变化的内部空间。博物馆共有16个不同的展厅，在建筑的中心，是一个安静而又隐蔽的秘密花园，作为反思的空间。
材料在整个设计中起了重要的作用。设计师用了相当长的时间去寻找最好的材料进行表达。最终，采用了这种浅米色长而又薄的条砖饰面，与外墙下部保存着几段圣科伦巴教堂的残垣断壁共同形成了建筑独一无二的外墙表皮。
The new Kolumba Art Museum designed by Pritzker Prize-winning and Swiss well-known architect Peter Zumthor is situated on the ruins of a late-Gothic church, Cologne, Germany, a city that was almost completely destroyed in World War II. PeterZumthor transfers the sum of the existing fragments into one complete building parallel with the street featured the distinctive outline, successfully shows the respect to the ruins and history.
The facade of grey brick integrates the remnants of the church’s facade into a new face for the contemporary museum. Articulated with perforations, the brick work allows diffused light to fill specific spaces of the museum. As the seasons change, the mottled light shifts and plays across the ruins, creating a peaceful ever-changing environment. The museum includes 16 different exhibition rooms and, at the heart of the building, a secret garden courtyard–a quiet and secluded place for reflection.
The materiality plays such an important role in the overall design, and Zumthor, known for taking his time to develop projects, searched quite a while for the perfect material. Eventually, he adopted the bricks specifically developed for this project combined with the ruined Gothic church form the unique skin of the building.
