Nice photoset by Ssaannddeerr on the Bruder Klaus Chapel, the Kolumba Diocesan Museum and the some model photos of the ‘Ssummerrestaurant’ (of which I have seen nothing of previously) by Zumthor.
A step by step instruction kit on how to build your own Klaus Bruder Chapel may be found here.

Hi Marcus,
The project for the Summerrestaurant was published on the website of Hochparterre, a swiss architectural and design magazine.
In Zumthor’s book “Atmospheres” (Birkhauser Verlag), there is a picture of a working model at the end.
Last year Zumthor came to Brussels for a lecture, in which he explained the concept for the building. The roof would be created as a boatstructure, and would be made in a workshop. When it is finished they would like to sail to the island where it will be used as a roof. The volume underneath would be made out of Stampfbeton, which is similar to the concrete used in the Bruder Klaus Feldkapelle in Mechernich.
I’m not sure wether they are constructing it now or what the project status is.

I think we would all agree that this is how all buildings should be delivered to site.
