新的南港纪念中心为埃德蒙顿市创建了一个新的非教派设施。设计的主要目的是纪念时间的瞬间，并通过光、影和黑暗的相互作用，在空间上捕捉四季的质量。设计的特点是一个象征性的13米高的塔，从草原景观中出现，参考了现有的墓地、纪念碑、骨灰堂以及它们所体现的潜在记忆。我们对参观墓地的记忆是由时间标记的；太阳的位置、光线的质量和那一天的天气。对一些人来说，这可能是一次单独的访问仪式，对另一些人来说，这可能是通过跨越他们余生的仪式性访问来体验的。

The new South Haven Centre for Remembrance creates a new non-denominational facility for the City of Edmonton. The primary objective of the design was to memorialize moments in time and spatially capture the quality of the seasons through the interplay of light, shadow, and darkness. The design features a symbolic 13-meter tower that emerges from the prairie landscape, making reference to the existing gravesites, monuments, columbaria, and the latent memory that they embody. Our memory of visiting a cemetery is marked by time; the position of the sun, the quality of light, and the weather on that particular day. For some, it may be a solitary visit for a ceremony, for others it may be experienced through ritual visits which span the rest of their lives.

这种建筑类型的独特性质与在一个占地21公顷的广阔场地上定位建筑的罕见机会相结合。一个部分淹没的地貌建筑的发展被认为是景观中的一条游走线，提供了与建筑的视觉联系。规划策略的重点是精心布置主入口和关键的公共项目空间，这使得公共空间的空间序列得以展开，以应对公众的到来，并提供安静、思考和暂停的空间和区域。

The unique nature of this building typology was coupled with the rare opportunity to position a building within a vast twenty-one-hectare site. The development of a partially submerged landform building was conceived of as a wandering line in the landscape providing a visual connection to and from the building. The planning strategy focused on the careful placement of the main entry and key public program spaces, which allowed a spatial sequence of public spaces to unfold to address public arrival as well as providing spaces and areas for silence, reflection, and pause.

该组织策略在空间上区分了短暂的和永久的。短暂的指的是短暂的访问，并对与时间和季节密切相关的光、声音和天气的自然特征作出反应。永久对应的是埋葬和与维持记忆有关的物理记录，以及作为墓地特征的物理人工制品；这是建筑的深层基础，因为它们为在墓地安息的个人提供永恒的记忆。

The organizational strategy spatially distinguishes between the ephemeral and the permanent. The ephemeral references short visits and respond to the natural characteristics of light, sound, and weather which are closely connected to time and the seasons. The permanent corresponds to burial and the physical record associated with sustaining memory and the physical artifacts that characterize the cemetery; this is the deep foundation of the building as they service the everlasting memory of the individuals that are laid to rest in the cemetery.

建筑物的颜色和整体特征考虑到了建筑内部四季调节的光线模式的关系，以及从建筑边缘投下的长长的清脆的冬季阴影。黑色热轧钢板和黑色烧焦（shou sugi-ban Accoya）表皮的组合，与冬季的雪景和建筑在一年中的变化关系相对应。在打开超大的钢制转轴门之前，主入口序列提供了一个压缩的黑暗时刻，这扇门揭示了轻盈的内部空间和冬季花园庭院对面的市中心天际线的框架视图。

The color and overall character of the building consider the relationship of modulating light patterns within the building interior throughout the seasons as well as the long crisp winter shadows that are cast from the building edges. The combination of black hot-rolled steel panels and a black charred (shou sugi-ban Accoya) skin act as a counterpoint to the snowy winter conditions and the changing relationship of the building in the landscape throughout the year. The main entrance sequence provides a compressed moment of darkness prior to opening the oversized steel pivot doors which reveal the light luminous interior space and the framed view of the downtown skyline viewed across the winter-garden courtyard.

该塔楼的特点是有一个大型的三角形夹层，使漫射的北光进入会议室。塔楼的形式和发展经历了多次迭代，以优化光线质量，更具体地说，就是在夏至日，塔楼内的光影如何投射。夏至这个词来源于拉丁语的sol（太阳）和sistere（静止），在这个年度基准日，塔内的光和影被庆祝。

The tower is characterized by a large triangular clerestory which allows diffuse north light to enter the meeting rooms. The form and development of the tower evolved through multiple iterations to optimize the quality of light and more specifically; how light and shadow casts within the tower on the summer solstice. The word solstice derives from the Latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), and the reverence of light and shadow within the tower are celebrated on this annual datum.
