阿什温尼库玛火葬场,苏拉特,古吉拉特邦,印度

Ashwinikumar Crematorium, Surat, Gujarat,India,2000

建筑虽然火葬场没有典型形式,但是这座火葬场以展馆似的建筑物形态突显出来,屹立在城市边界外的空地上。然而,在当今的大多数城市中,这类场地已经被城市的发展所吞没,使得这座展馆失去了其象征意义。阿什温尼库玛火葬场位于苏拉特——印度西部的一个大城市——的塔皮河畔。苏拉特位于西部的古吉拉特邦,是钻石和纺织业贸易繁忙的商业中心。

Although there is no archetypal form for a crematorium,the cremation place is marked by a pavilion-like structure standing in open ground outside the city limits.However,in most cities today,these sites have been engulfed by urban growth,making the pavilion lose its symbolic significance.
