园林绿化
America’s first forest burial ground. Different from the traditional cemetery, the tree cemetery through the protection system of tree adoption, maintenance, restoration and management of large tracts of woodland as a tree burial area. Their work includes the overall planning of the site and the design of structures, spaces, slow motion systems, signage systems and habitat restoration. A tree can be designated as a family burial site, where the ashes of loved ones are scattered for generations. The idea combines a sense of ritual, remembering loved ones and preserving the forest with a simple poetic touch.
美国第一个森林树葬墓园。不同于传统墓地，树葬墓园通过树木认养的保护系统，对大片林地进行保养、修复和管理作为树葬区。他们的工作内容包括对场地进行总体规划，以及结构、空间、慢行系统、标识系统以及栖息地恢复等设计。人们可以指定某棵树作为家族骨灰安葬点，世世代代在此洒下挚爱亲友的骨灰。这个理念将仪式感、缅怀亲人和保护森林相融合，体现出简洁的诗意。
The visitors’centre is accessible along a path that integrates the entrance with the surrounding environment. Created by the design team in collaboration with the architecture firm, this beautifully shaped building stands alone on a hilltop and serves as a dividing point between public and private spaces. The observation deck and two small conference rooms at the visitors’centre provide a venue for family memorial services or meetings with forest managers. In the grass is another studio designed monument, a concrete bench engraved with the names of family members, arranged in a manner reminiscent of tree rings. In the ever-changing Forest, the visitor center conveys a sense of peaceful timelessness -- it has always been and will always be there.
人们沿着入口处与周边环境融为一体的道路，便可来到访客中心。这座造型优美的建筑由设计团队与建筑公司合作完成，它独自矗立于山顶，成为公共与私人空间的分界点。访客中心的观景台和两个小会议室为举行家庭悼念仪式，或会见森林管理员提供了场地。草地中则安放着另一个工作室设计的纪念碑，混凝土浇筑的长凳上镌刻着家庭成员的名字，其摆放方式让人联想起树木的年轮。 在瞬息万变的森林中，访客中心传达了一种令人平静的永恒感——它一直、且将永远安然地坐落于此。
