Architect Peter Zumthor built a "tent-like" structure here with 112 pine sticks on a river in rural Bruder Klaus, Germany. After the structure becomes the template for the interior of a small chapel, he takes a local way to pour what the architects call "Rammed Concrete" half a meter a day and takes 24 days to make it inside. After put a fire inside the tent, under the control of the architect, moderate fire burning for three weeks, the fire burned wood, walls and trees in the water is evaporating, internal template, automatic solution of pine "tent template" left a vertical line, the process will be walls blackened, light through a glass tube through the wall into the interior, in black space, like stars sparkle, legend on the wall with pine taste. Peter Zumthor said he started with the four elements (earth, water, air and fire) for the design.
