意大利　古比奧公墓擴建

Studio Andrea Dragoni

The enlargement of the Gubbio cemetery is the result of studies of a new model of public building. On the one hand, it has developed the latest phase of growth of the monumental cemetery in Gubbio, one of Italy’s most important medieval cities. On the other hand, it intends to redefine its meaning and centrality within the structure of the city.

義大利古比奧墓地的擴建是公共建築新標竿研究下的產物。此案不僅對古比奧（義大利最重要的中世紀城市之一）紀念公墓進行了最新的開發，還試圖重新定義其在城市中的意義與中心地位。

The plan is in an urban structure consisting of linear stereometric blocks arranged in such a way as to reflect the rural layouts that characterize the surrounding landscape and the historic city.This concept of urban settlement is emphasized by the inclusion of large square enclosures designed to be open spaces that provide the structure with spatial rhythm.

These spaces were inspired by James Turrell’s Skyspaces and are designed to be enjoyable public areas, independently from the cemetery, offering an opportunity to pause and reflect. These are cubic“squares of silence” having open ceilings that evoke windows open to the sky.

The sky thus framed opens the mind to the reign of the invisible, allowing sight and thought to abandon Mother Earth’s gravity and acquire a more aerial and spiritual dimension.

此建案是由線性立體的排列方式建構而成，反映出周圍景觀及此歷史名城的特色。廣大、方形的圈地被設計成向外展開的空間，賦予了建築空間韻律感。

此空間的靈感來自美國當代藝術家詹姆斯特瑞爾的裝置藝術作品 “ Skyspaces ” ，並規劃設計成獨立於墓地之外的休閒公共區域，提供觀賞者暫停及反思的機會。名為「寂靜之矩」的立方建築體擁有開放式天花板，像是向天空敞開的窗戶。透過天花板框出的天空，觀賞者能夠敞開心胸感知那些無形，忘記地心引力，進入到更加空靈的維度。

The atmosphere of these “Squares of silence” is made more suggestive by a series of permanent site-specific artistic installations that capture the changing effects of light and shadow from dawn to dusk. These installations were created by two important Italian artists (Sauro Cardinali and Nicola Renzi), with whom collaboration began during the initial stage of the project.

This contribution, strongly linked with architecture, helps to define a new space for silence and meditation within the city.

「寂靜之矩」所營造的氛圍，透過一系列永久性裝置藝術的設置而更具啟發性。這些裝置藝術會捕捉從破曉至黃昏的光影變化，由兩位占有重要地位的義大利藝術家索羅卡迪納利及尼古拉斯倫齊共同創作。

此作品與古比奧墓地擴建的連接，定義了這個新出現於城市中的寧靜和冥想之地。
