Abstract (in English)

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