<p><img alt="Madrid Memorial Monument" src="http://www.hi-id.com/atcl/0703/Madrid_Memorial_Monument_1.jpg"/>&nbsp; </p><p>这个纪念堂是为了纪念3年前（2004年3月11号）西班牙马德里火车站大爆炸中的罹难者，由FAM architecture studio设计。上图看到的是纪念堂的内部，高于头顶的薄膜圆筒上印着人们在大爆炸发生在车站后所留下的纪念死者的信息，这种薄膜是ETFE，也就是Her&shy;zog &amp; de Meuron设计的<a href="http://www.hi-id.com/?p=156"><font color="#004588">Allianz Arena</font></a>，OMA的Serpentine Gallery， 以及PTW设计的水立方的那种材料（前不久<a href="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2007/07/gallery_watercube?slide=1&amp;slideView=7"><font color="#004588">连线杂志有一文章</font></a>介绍水立方）。这个建成与今年春天的纪念堂修建在一个地铁站内，圆筒形延伸到地面上方，圆筒形由150,000块弯曲的玻璃砖搭建成，玻璃砖之间用一种液体丙烯酸材料粘接，并用紫外线照射固化。白天，太阳光穿过玻璃砖外墙照射到位于底下的蓝色内室，形成一种光晕；晚上，圆筒形通过底部的灯光散发出柔和的光芒映照天空。<br/><img alt="Madrid Memorial Monument" src="http://www.hi-id.com/atcl/0703/Madrid_Memorial_Monument_2.jpg"/>&nbsp; </p><p>A view of the glowing monument at dusk</p><p><img alt="Madrid Memorial Monument" src="http://www.hi-id.com/atcl/0703/Madrid_Memorial_Monument_3.jpg"/>&nbsp; </p><p>An aerial photo showing the traffic-island site.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><!--Element not supported - Type: 8 Name: #comment--><img src="http://www.metropolismag.com/webimages/2808/monumento-27.jpg" border="0" alt=""/>&nbsp; </p><p>A glass wall near the entrance to the underground memorial lists the &shy;commuters killed in the Madrid train &shy;bombings</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.metropolismag.com/webimages/2808/monumento-63.jpg" border="0" alt=""/>&nbsp; </p><p>Inside the glass-brick volume</p><p>原文介绍：</p><p><strong>The Eternal Glow</strong></p><p>“It’s a silent space, and people cry inside,” says Mauro Gil-Fournier Esquerra, of FAM architecture studio. “It’s very emotional.” He’s referring to the blue chamber beneath the monument to the victims of 11M—as the March 11, 2004, attacks in Madrid are known to Spaniards.<br/></p><!--Element not supported - Type: 8 Name: #comment--><!--Element not supported - Type: 8 Name: #comment--><p>The international memorial competition called for a sculpture stranded at the center of a traffic island outside Atocha station, the site of seven of the ten bombs that killed 191 commuters and wounded 2,050 that morning. Esquerra’s winning entry proposed extending the monument below street level to form a chapel-like memorial space inside the underground train station. The concept was clever, but the renderings—featuring an &shy;amor&shy;phous blob floating in the night sky and a translucent chasm riddled with text—gave little indication of how it would be realized. <br/></p><!--Element not supported - Type: 8 Name: #comment--><!--Element not supported - Type: 8 Name: #comment--><p>Completed this spring in time for the third anniversary of the tragedy, the luminous three-story monument is built of 150,000 curved glass blocks glued together with a liquid-acrylic material hardened by ultraviolet lamps. Inside the tower, an ETFE membrane—the same material used for Her&shy;zog &amp; de Meuron’s Allianz Arena, in Munich, and OMA’s Serpentine Gallery, in London—is printed with hundreds of messages left at the station by mourners in the days after the bombings. After dark, the volume radiates softly in the sky from lights in the opening at its base; during the day, sunlight produces an ethereal glow as it filters through the glass tower and reflects off the deep blue surfaces in the underground chamber. <br/></p><!--Element not supported - Type: 8 Name: #comment--><!--Element not supported - Type: 8 Name: #comment--><p>“This is the moment of the memorial,” Esquerra says of the daylight effect. “It’s like an instant, something very fast. We want to speak to the light and the future: the spirit of the monument is to take all of the messages of these days, the feelings of the people, and create an eternal meaning for them.”</p>
