自由公园博物馆和纪念碑 南非比勒陀利亚

FREEDOM PARK MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM Pretoria,South Africa

自由公园座落在山顶上,被长满当地树种和灌木的公园包围。游客在沿着盘旋的公路向上走时就可以看到见证者纪念碑和自由博物馆在不断变化的视角里逐渐显露。见证者纪念碑好像就是一个中空的树干,这是源于非洲的一个传统,即在猴面包树的树干上刻一个墓穴,用其保存部落重要成员的遗物。纪念碑是为尊敬种族隔离的受害者建的,它像一个猴面包树干被本土的枫树所环绕。博物馆就好像四个向上生长的＂树干＂,包含着十个陈列室可以依次参观。所有的展览馆好像是一个整体,就好像附近的树随着时间会长到一起一样。

Freedom Park rests on a hill summit, surrounded by a park of native trees and bushes. As visitors ascend a spiral path, the Witness Memorial and Freedom Museum are gradually revealed in constantly shifting perspectives. Inspired by the African tradition of carving the graves of important community members from a Baobab trunk, the womb-like Memorial and Museum echo hollowed-out tree trunks. The Memorial, a single ＂trunk＂ set in a clearing of indigenous sugarbush trees, honors apartheid victims. The Museum is configured as four soaring ＂trunks＂ containing ten gallery spaces that can be traversed in sequence as if fused into one, just as trees in close proximity grow into one.
