Beukenhof Auditorium
The
Beukenhof auditorium and crematorium as envisioned by Asymptote is an
architectural work that provides the city of Schiedam and its
neighboring areas not only with a much needed new and modern facility
but also with a new cultural building to be inserted into the city’s
urban fabric and lush environs. The abstract and contemporary quality
of the architectural design celebrates the many diverse religions and
cultures of the region while addressing the unique traditions,
rituals and sensibilities of the different faiths that the building
will accommodate. The fluid and pristine nature of the building’s
envelope merges the exterior architectural form with the natural
surroundings. The architecture is experienced in harmony with the
elegant tree-lined canals and the serene landscape that sit alongside
the building. These aspects of the physical environment are an
inspirational backdrop that works in tandem with the atmospheric
quality of the building to create a poetic work that embraces nature
and life.
Asymptote’s
architecture pays homage to the great traditions of religious
architecture, from churches and chapels to grand halls, temples and
shrines. The enfolding of diverse traditions and aesthetics
contributes to this building’s physical presence and architectural
elegance. The meandering form of the sculptural exterior is reflected
within as smooth surfaces that delineate spaces of movement and
worship. A delicate pattern of apertures in the roof creates
interiors bathed in diffused and modulated light. The various sounds
and the play of light produced by water flowing along the building
surfaces and collecting in adjacent pools imbues the building with a
powerful but serene atmosphere. These elements complement the
physical form of the building and create a meaningful and unique
addition to the architecture of Schiedam.
The
Beukenhof auditorium and crematorium is comprised of an architecture
that is timeless, one that will serve the commemoration, celebration
and remembrance of family, friends and members of the community today
and well into the future. As with many timeless works of
architecture, it is an open-ended form of expression that can also be
a place to enjoy musical performances, art exhibitions, poetry
readings and other cultural events. This building therefore becomes
part of the collective imagination and a vital part of the community
in its spiritual, cultural and artistic life.
