Statie Stuifduin Crematorium / a2o-architecten

来自建筑事务所的描述。该项目是位于Lommel主墓地旁的一座新的火葬场。这个墓地是一个精心设计的宜人的公园。设计的出发点是火葬场和墓地作为各自独立的场地处理。现有的入口大楼将作为场地的主要通道，火葬场从现有的主轴线上分支出去。

Text description provided by the architects. This project concerns a new crematorium building on a site alongside the main cemetery in Lommel. This cemetery is a pleasant and carefully designed public park. The design starts from the premise that the crematorium and the cemetery should be treated as a single site. The existing entrance building will be kept as the main access to the site, the crematorium branching from the existing primary axis.

在一个缺乏明确的宗教象征的墓地，自然的力量取代了神圣感。大自然不仅提供了一种与自身平衡相持的状态，更通过其不言而喻的谦逊态度表达了作为和平的象征。其景观设计的特点是寻找一种未触及的“原始景观”，这是一个恢复自然的项目，旨在重新塑造松树林、荒地和沙地景观之间的自然平衡。

At a cemetery that lacks explicit religious symbols, the universal power of nature replaces the sacral. Nature provides not only an equilibrium, as a biotope that is permanently in balance with itself, but also peace, by its self-evident and modest presence. The proposed landscape design is characterized by the search for an untouched "primordial landscape". A restoration project will be initiated, aimed at recreating the natural balance between pine woods, heathland and sandy landscape.

景观以人行道、外部空间和建筑的形式与人类活动进行对话。设计的主题之一是“旅程”。这是告别亲人的典型仪式。火葬场不仅仅是一座建筑物，它也作为陪伴一段旅程的场所。人们在这里仿佛走过一个展览，体验一个又一个过程，就像告别，没有退路，只能继续前往下一个篇章。

The landscape enters into a dialogue with the human interventions in the form of footpaths, exterior spaces, and the architecture. One of the main themes in the design is 'the journey'. The ceremonial rite that is typical of saying farewell to a loved one. The crematorium is more than a building, it is a site that accompanies one on this journey. As if walking through an exhibition, going from one experience to another. Just like in the case of a farewell, there is no way back, only a continuing path to another chapter.

仪式实际上是从公园里开始的。一条小路穿过景观，将人们带到另一个世界，远离世俗。降低的路径改变了人们的视角，浮雕和景观以不同的方式呈现。这种体验迫使访客对自然表现出谦卑的姿态。

The ceremony actually commences in the park. A path cuts through the landscape and takes the visitors to another world, away from the secular. The lowered path changes the viewer's perspective. The relief and the landscape are experienced in a different way. This experience coerces the visitor into humbleness vis-à-vis nature.

我们非常重视自然占据中心位置的建筑，通透的建筑与周围的景观交织在一起。建筑师选择使用简单的材料来表现其坚固性，这样可以毫不费力地经受住时间的考验。砖、混凝土和木制品从内部空间延伸到外部空间，薄薄的玻璃板保护着内部空间。这座建筑物整体似乎已经经历了火的淬炼。

We attach great importance to architecture in which nature takes a central place. A transparent building that is interwoven with and runs into the surrounding landscape. The choice was made to use simple materials that exude robustness and can stand the ravages of time without effort. Brickwork, concrete, and woodwork extend from the interior to the exterior. Wafer-thin sheets of glass protect the interior. The building will have the appearance of a ruin that happens to have been turned into a crematorium.

该场地的三个主要部分——火葬场、仪式建筑和餐饮建筑，都围绕着一个中央室外空间布置。这个户外空间被视为“Campo Santo”，一个神圣的场所，这是一个和平与沉思的地方。由于这个中庭周围走廊的边缘较低，人们只能看到树木的树干和地面以上的情景。

The three main volumes of the site–the crematorium building, the ceremonial building, and the catering building - are located around a central outdoor space. This outdoor space is regarded as a "Campo Santo", a sacred place. It is a place for peace and contemplation. Due to the low edge of the gallery around this atrium, visitors can only see the trunks of the trees and whatever is happening on the ground.
