森林之末，湿地之初，烟水茫茫芦苇花。
身披草衣的Takern游客中心轻落在水岸，静静的消融在环境中。
建筑虽然采用了传统的材料，但是在造型上有所突破，墙壁与陡峭的屋顶和成一气，至于
最不牢固的屋顶尖儿，则做成了玻璃天窗。

All the way out where the forest ends and the reeds begin, a visitor center hovers low
on piles set carefully into the water’s edge. The building is clad in thatch, camouflaged
like a birdwatcher’s blind, hiding its contents from the natural world that surrounds it.
This is quiet architecture, using traditional local materials to break new ground with its
crystalline geometry. Steep roofs transition seamlessly into walls. The steep pitch gives
them longevity. The ridge, where a thatched roof is most vulnerable, is transformed into
a glazed skylight.

该项目共有包括游客中心在内的三个建筑，其中一个是2009年落成，挑高5米的观鸟塔，
为了平缓的将人们引自此高度，建筑师设置了辗转的140米长木板坡道。谦虚的游客中心
十分内敛以及环保，在与环境重要对接的地方才设置了大的开口。

这里属于瑞典东约特兰省野生动物保护区，完成的建筑即隐匿在环境中，同时又具有鲜明
的造型，这样完美的解题，也许来回迁徙路过停留在这里的各种小动物，以及这里的长住
生物们，都会喜欢并和睦共存吧。

TÅKERN

Location: Lake Tåkern, Sweden
Main building: 680m2

The visitor center is the main feature of a series of measures that celebrate Tåkern’s
qualities. The path to the building passes a number of landscape exhibits that reveal,
for example, changes in the environment. A short distance away stands a bird-watching
tower, designed as a sibling to the visitor station. The whole scheme is interconnected
by boardwalks that make the terrain accessible for all. A 140 meter long ramp makes it
possible to reach the five meter level by wheels.

Among the many exhibits is an aquarium that joins the interior of the visitor center with
the pond that has been advantageously exposed next to the building. The center has a
closed, sheltering form, resulting in minimal energy consumption. A few strategically
placed generous openings connect the building with its surroundings.

The bird-watching tower was inaugurated in 2009. The opening was overlooked by
shovelers, gadwalls, teals, pintails and by an old white-tailed eagle. Next year they will
most likely return for a preview of the visitor centre.
