Zumthor in Leiden

One of our heroes, famous among all architects, is doing his first project in the Netherlands: Peter Zumthor @ meelfabriek in Leiden. All structures will be preserved, but most facades will be substituted. They are simply too fragile and uncomfortable for future use. A lovely, simple site tells us all about the project:  www.demeelfabriek.nl. We selected the wonderful model pictures below.
