A photographic essay documents the 12th century Cistercian Abbey of Le Thoronet, located in Provence, South France. The abbey subjects architectural elements to ultimate limitations and continues to draw admiring architectural visitors. This is followed by a survey of new currents in architectural exhibitions, curatorial practice, and ongoing museum projects. In this context, Peter Zumthor's latest work, the Kolumba - Art Museum of the Cologne Archdiocese, is introduced. Feature 1: The Cistercian Abbey of Le Thoronet
