Peter Zumthor (born 1943) is a Swiss architect who received the Pritzker Prize in 2009. The catalogue features the Bruder Klaus Field Chapel (2007) in Mechernich, Germany — a tiny concrete chapel in a field, built by local farmers. The interior was formed by burning out a timber scaffold, leaving charred walls and a single oculus open to the sky. Zumthor's work is defined by an extreme attention to material, atmosphere, and the sensory experience of space.
