Kimmel Eshkolot建筑事务所的 “以色列阵亡将士纪念馆 “位于以色列国家公墓赫兹尔山，是该国最重要的场所之一。纪念馆是一个个人和集体的结构，以起伏的漏斗状的砖块形成来纪念以色列的阵亡士兵，使大厅向天空开放，使空旷的地方充满自然光。

Kimmel Eshkolot Architects “Memorial Hall of Israel’s Fallen” sits at Mount Herzl, Israel’s National Cemetery, and one of the most important sites in the country. The Memorial is a personal and collective structure that commemorates Israel’s fallen soldiers with an undulating funnel-shaped formation of bricks that opens the hall to the sky, flooding the void with natural light.

2006年受以色列国防部家庭、纪念和遗产司的委托，这个具有情感冲击力的纪念馆围绕着250米长的连续 “名字墙 “蜿蜒而行，环绕着中央雕塑砖结构。这道螺旋形的墙由23,000多块混凝土砖组成，每块砖上都刻有阵亡士兵的名字和他们的死亡日期，在每个纪念日都会被白炽灯照亮。管状结构内部是纪念馆的中央照明漏斗。

Commissioned by the Department of Families, Commemoration and Heritage at Israel’s Ministry of Defense in 2006, the emotionally impactful memorial winds around a 250-meter long continuous “Wall of Names” that wraps around the central sculptural brick structure. This spiraling wall is comprised of more than 23,000 concrete bricks each individually engraved with the name of a fallen soldier and their date of decease, which becomes illuminated by incandescent lights on each respective anniversary. Inside the tubular structure sits the memorial’s central light funnel.

为了给大厅创造一个宁静的空间，纪念馆的设计首先是一个内部项目。挖掘山体以使大厅有充足的日光，是Kimmel Eshkolot的首要重点，而地形的重建则是次要的。以色列阵亡将士纪念馆从外观上看并不显眼，并与邻近墓地的纹理相呼应。在内部，从椭圆体进入的光线通过漏斗巧妙地过滤掉。通过这个 “石头花边”，光线沿着结构的名字墙在大厅的参数中闪烁。

With the intention of creating a serene space for the hall, the design of the memorial is firstly a project of an interior. Excavating the mountain to allow for abundance of daylight in the hall was a primary focus of Kimmel Eshkolot, with the reconstruction of the terrain being secondary. The Memorial Hall of Israel’s Fallen is intended to be unimposing from the exterior, and to echo the texture of the adjacent cemetery. In the interior, the light that enters through the oculus is subtly filtered through the funnel. Through this “stone lace,” light flickers in the parameter of the hall along the structure’s Wall of Names.

在苏黎世联邦理工学院建造了几个1:1的模型来测试漏斗的结构。最初的策略是基于将砖块相互粘连，旨在使元素之间的重叠达到最小。这种方法被证明在结构上是可行的，但由于它不能满足当地的建筑规定而被忽视了。通过这些测试，并与Ackerstein Industries和Merkava一起，Kimmel Eshkolot开发了独特的带钢芯的混凝土砖，这些砖在预先切割的接缝处用螺丝固定在一起。对活荷载和死荷载的进一步计算导致用铝制作砖块以减轻重量。

Several 1:1 mockups were constructed at ETH Zurich to test the construction of the funnel. The initial strategy was based on glueing the bricks to one another, aiming at a minimal overlap between the elements. This method was proven to be structurally viable, but was neglected because it could not meet the local building regulations. With these tests, and together with Ackerstein Industries and Merkava, Kimmel Eshkolot developed unique concrete bricks with steel cores that were screwed together at the pre-cut joints. Further calculations of the live loads and the dead loads led to making the bricks from aluminum to reduce weight.

赫兹尔山是犹太复国主义创始人的安息之地，也是以色列国家公墓的所在地，Kimmel Eshkolot建筑事务所的结构对其所处地点的孤立和安静的性质表示尊重。在其外部，该结构遵循了山的地形，采用了轻质耶路撒冷石的曲线，是圣城的统一 “装扮”。参观者可以直接穿过纪念馆走向赫兹尔山公墓，或者沿着一系列的楼梯走到纪念馆的入口，沿着砖墙，在内部成为名字墙。

Set atop the historic Mount Herzl, the resting place of the namesake founder of Zionism and the site of Israel’s national cemetery, Kimmel Eshkolot Architects’ structure pays respect to the isolation and quiet nature of the site on which it encompasses. Within its exterior, the structure follows the topography of the mountain with curves of light Jerusalem stone, the uniform “dressing” of the Holy City. Visitors can walk directly through the memorial hall towards Mount Herzl Cemetery, or walk down a series of stairs to the entrance of the hall, along a brick wall which in the interior becomes the Wall of Names.
