露天丧葬艺术博物馆——巴黎拉雪兹神父墓园

Open-air Museum of Funerary Art——Cimetière du Père-Lachaise

全球人口的急剧增加,使丧葬问题与城市环境的联系愈发紧密。在西方国家,墓园作为园林艺术的重要类型之一,不仅是人们缅怀先人和追忆历史的场所,也是人们冥想沉思和亲近自然之地。拉雪兹神父墓园,作为巴黎最著名的历史性墓园,以其丰富多变的墓园空间,各具特色的陵墓和雕塑以及如画般的园林绿地,向人们展现了如何将墓园以更自然化的"园林"或"纪念花园"的形式,融入城市环境之中。

The dramatic increase in global population causes a more close relationship between funeral and urban environment. In Western countries, cemetery as one of the important type of garden art is a place where people can not only cherish the memory of the deceased and recall the history, but also meditate and be close to nature. The Cimetière du Père-Lachaise mentioned in this paper is considered to be the most famous historic cemetery of Paris, with its rich and varied cemetery space, characteristic tombs, sculptures, and the picturesque gardens. Moreover it demonstrated how to melt cemetery to urban environment more naturally by the form of ＂garden＂ or ＂memorial garden＂.
