Vancouver-based Shape Architecture has unveiled the charred-wood South Haven Centre for Remembrance within a municipal cemetery on the outskirts of the city of Edmonton, Canada.
Built to serve a non-denominational cemetery, Shape Architecture aimed to create a building that was sensitive to its site and conveyed a sense of remembrance without making strong references to religion.
總部位於溫哥華的Shape Architecture在加拿大埃德蒙頓市郊的市政公墓內，推出了燒焦的南黑文紀念中心。
專為非教派墓地而建，Shape Architecture旨在打造一幢對其所在地敏感的建築，並傳達出一種紀念感，而又沒有強烈提及宗教。
“Given the cemetery is non-denominational; the mandate was to create a building that would speak to everyone without any literal references or iconography,” said Shape Architecture partner Dwayne Smyth.
“This was one of the most challenging and also motivating drivers behind the evolution of the design as it pushed the design to be continually refined and edited,” he told Dezeen. “The result was a project that strives to be timeless and move everyone in some way.”
Shape Architecture的合夥人Dwayne Smyth說：“鑑於該墓地是非教派的；其任務是創建一座可以與所有人交談的建築物，而無需任何文字參考或圖示。”
他對Dezeen表示：“這是設計演變背後最具挑戰性和動力的驅動力之一，因為它推動了設計的不斷完善和編輯。” “結果是一個致力於永不過時並以某種方式感動每個人的項目。”
Partially submerged in the landscape, the 650-square-metre, single-storey building contains the cemetery’s public meeting rooms as well as its offices for maintenance staff and a large garage, which is hidden from the cemetery by a low wall.
These public and staff areas are positioned at either end of the building and divided by a large lobby and reception area that has a full-height window with views across the cemetery.
這座650平方米的單層建築部分淹沒在景觀中，其中包括該公墓的公共會議室，其維修人員辦公室和一個大型車庫，低矮的牆壁將其掩埋在該公墓中。
這些公共和工作人員區域位於建築物的任一端，並由一個寬敞的大堂和接待區隔開，該區設有全高的窗戶，可欣賞整個公墓的景色。
A 13-metre tall, angular tower, which stands above the public end of the almost entirely black building, marks its position in the cemetery and recalls the form of a gravestone.
At the top of the tower an angled, triangular-shaped window provides light to one of the family meeting rooms and a corridor.
一座高13米的斜塔聳立在幾乎全黑的建築物的公共端上方，標誌著它在墓地中的位置，並讓人聯想起墓碑的形式。
在塔的頂部，一個傾斜的三角形窗戶為家庭會議室之一和走廊提供了照明。
“The building emerges from the prairie landscape and stands against the horizon like a grave marker in the field,” said Smyth.
“From the exterior, the tower acts as a marker in the landscape which is symbolically centralised within the cemetery itself,” he continued.
“Inside, the tower makes reference to the summer solstice and more specifically; how light enters the tower on that day from dawn to dusk.”
史密斯說：“該建築是從草原景觀中出來的，像田野上的墳墓一樣立在地平線上。”
他繼續說：“從外部看，塔樓是景觀的標誌，象徵性地集中在墓地內部。”
“在裡面，塔樓參照了夏至，更具體地說；那天從黎明到黃昏，光線如何進入塔樓。”
Shape Architecture clad the building in a combination of cedar wood slats, burnt using the Japanese shou sugi-ban technique, and black hot-rolled steel panels to create a contrast to the surrounding, often snow-covered, landscape.
“The dark exterior provides high contrast in the winter and is seen as more of a silhouette on the horizon during the spring, summer and autumn,” explained Smyth.
“The ephemerality of the interplay of shadows on the snow contrast the permanence of the physical building itself; where remembrance is signified through the interplay of the architecture, nature and time.”
Shape Architecture用雪松木板條將建築物包裹起來，並用日本的shou sugi-ban技術將其燒毀，再加上黑色熱軋鋼板，與周圍經常被雪覆蓋的景觀形成鮮明對比。
Smyth解釋說：“深色的外觀在冬季提供了高對比度，並且在春季，夏季和秋季被視為地平線上更多的輪廓。”
“在雪地上陰影相互影響的短暫性，與建築物本身的持久性形成了鮮明對比；在這裡，通過建築，自然與時間的相互影響來表示記憶。”
In contrast to the black exteriors, both the public and staff areas of the centre’s interiors are decorated with light materials.
Birch timber was used to clad some walls and to create in-built furniture, while the upper third of the walls and ceiling were painted white.
與黑色的外觀形成鮮明對比的是，該中心內部的公共區域和工作人員區域均用淺色材料裝飾。
樺木被用來覆蓋一些牆壁並製造內置家具，而牆壁和天花板的上三分之一被漆成白色。
Other recently completed buildings in cemeteries include a pink pigmented concrete building by David Chipperfield’s studio in the Japanese town of Inagawa and a structure in an Italian cemetery made from local limestone stacked in metal baskets.
