Résumé en anglais
From 1995-2000, an American interdisciplinary teamof mostly Artists, Architects, Art Historians, and Historic
Preservationists collaborated on an experiment in documentation atthe St. Kolumba sacred historic site and ruin in Cologne Germany,
through the Erzbischofliches Diozesanmuseum, Cologne. TheDiözesanmuseum had just been given the much-revered site of St.
Kolumba in the oldest central part of the city for the design andconstruction of new architecture for the Diözesan's Collection. Fall of
2007, the new Diözesanmuseum designed by Peter Zumthor openedto the public.
This conference provides a unique opportunity to examine theresearch of the American team that experienced St. Kolumba as a
locked, silent, cloistered ruin. And to see the images andinterpretations of the site just before the new architecture was
introduced, at the moment when the archeological excavations, theGothic church ruins and the Gottfried Böhm Chapel were absorbed
and changed into the new architecture
