Cafe Pavilion, Düren – A Moulded Space
Site and Commission
The town cemetery in the Eastern part of Düren has taken on the role of a public park. Before, there was nowhere for visitors to the cemetery to shelter nor for large or small funeral ceremonies to take place. The new cemetery and café pavilion is a space where people can encounter each other when things are out of the ordinary. They can grieve together, exchange memories and look for refuge, which they will find under a multifaceted ceiling landscape.
Diversity in Unity
The architecture of the pavilion unfolds out of a neutral, nondescript, square ground plan. Three closed volumes have been inserted to accommodate the service facilities of the pavilion; they structure the space and divide the ground plan into three areas, without blocking them off from one another. Each of the three areas, which all receive visitors, is characterised by archetypical roof shapes and varying room heights, combining to form one large space. The barrel vault, the mono-pitch roof and the tented roof of the visitor areas together form a manifold, continuous ceiling landscape, which offers refuge and connects the visitor areas to form a flowing unified space; it also provides richly diverse views into the surrounding park. The landscape profile created by these roof shapes can be read on the façade; it connects the individual exterior elevations of the building with one another.
Structure and Materiality
The simple materials applied, give this pavilion clarity and uniqueness. Dolomite stone from the Alps was sprinkled into the reinforced concrete floor slab while it was being poured to give the floor of the pavilion a lively, terrazzo-like feeling after it was sanded. Pre-produced timber elements form the walls and the ceiling landscape, giving the interior spaces a homogenous, monolithic appearance. The large roof volume, which covers the pavilion and accommodates the ventilation pipes, has been shaped using a timber framework. The façade of the roof is formed by Kerto panels, which also bear largeformat panes of glass; these are highly reflective to give the mourners the necessary intimacy. During the day, the pavilion interlaces with the surrounding greenery, which is extended by its reflection in the glass façade. This effect is reversed at night when the façade becomes transparent and the interior space dominates the appearance of the building. The colour scheme of the pavilion is based on the colour of the dignified plane trees, which characterise the cemetery park; this finds expression in silver-glazed timber surfaces, oxidised aluminium windows, and greenish-coloured glazing.
迪伦镇东部的墓园已开放成为公共公园，咖啡厅就位于这里。墓园曾经举行过大大小小的葬礼，期望这个新的咖啡厅成为一个日常空间，人们在这里一起交流，回忆，伤感或者独处。人们可以在这里发现一个多样纷呈的天花板。
建筑的构架与地面关系非常独特，看起来像是插入了三个卷，卷内包含服务设施，同时将空间分为三个区域，这里就是营业的区域。这三个区域的天花集结起来形成一个大的，宛如帐篷的，多面，连续，流动屋顶，将整个营业区统一为一个整体感很强的空间，并提空面对周围公园的丰富视野，还能看见头顶的蓝天。
建筑师应用简单的材料，给予建筑清晰独特的形象。利用阿尔卑斯山白云石和水泥制作出的水磨石地板，清新活泼。木材构成内部的墙壁和天花，使空间均匀整体。屋面吊顶使用木材框架，包含通风管道。高反射玻璃在一天的变化中与周围景观互动明显，将周围景观反映折射。但是到了晚上，室内灯光亮起，玻璃变得透明，与白天截然不同。
建筑选色参考了色彩庄重，墓园象征之一的梧桐树，具体体现在银釉铝合金窗框，和绿色的彩色玻璃上。
