Muttenz 水处理厂

2011年，Muttenz市政府与Oppenheim建筑公司合作完成了位于环境敏感地区的新市政水厂建设。建筑师将技术、教育和保护三大主题融入到整个设计中。这座富有表现力的建筑将成为Muttenz和Basel地区的新地标，同时它还需兼具饮用水处理的重要功能。建筑采用天然的材料构造与场地的自然环境和谐地融为一体。这样的设计也让维护成本降到最低，整个建筑如同永恒的存在。

In 2011, Muttenz municipality approached Oppenheim Architecture
to realize a vision for an interactive community experience in a highly sensitive setting. As a result, technology, education and preservation became integral components of the design of Muttenz’s new municipal water purification plant. The unique and important function of the drinking water treatment plant is to create an expressive building – a new landmark for the town of Muttenz and the Basel area. The plant organically ties in to the natural setting, and the architecture and its natural materials are designed to harmoniously mature together with the site. This allows for a timeless icon, requiring minimal maintenance to its ever-changing facade.

该工厂位于莱茵河畔环境极为敏感的地区，整个建筑成为了可持续发展的成功案例，同时也展现了具有教育意义的水净化过程。建筑设计和最先进的水处理技术相结合，强调净化的重要性。从功能上讲，该项目不仅实现了最高标准的水净化过程，而且还凭借其标志性的设计和教育意义吸引了社区居民的关注。

The plant is a model of sustainability, extremely sensitive to its contrasting setting near the Rhine riverfront. Settled between the protected forest and the nearby industrial parks, the project exhibits
an educational factor to express the complex purification process in such a stressed environment. The role of the architecture is to link and express the unique and state-of-the-art technology, placed in a natural ecosystem and emphasizing the importance of the puri cation process. Functionally, the project not only achieves the goal of purifying water at the highest industry standard, it also draws in the community with its subtle iconic presence and its interior educational community gallery spaces.
