Sayama Forest Chapel

位于日本Sayama的湖边公墓，由当地的设计工作室Hiroshi Nakamura&NAP设计。教堂永远不会被人喜欢，因为它是用来容纳悲伤和悲伤的。设计师试图在自然和祈祷中找到协调悲伤情绪的答案。失去的痛苦如此之大，以至于典型的防御机制将其视为不自然的。这也是一种从祈祷中找到慰藉痛苦的方式，不管教派是什么，Sayama森林教堂的设计考虑了这两个元素。

The lakeside cemetery in Sayama, Japan, was designed by local design studio Hiroshi Nakamura&NAP. The church will never be liked, because it is designed to hold sorrow and sorrow. In nature and prayer, the designer tries to find an answer that harmonizes grief. The pain of loss is so great that the typical defense mechanism sees it as unnatural. It is also a way to find solace in prayer, regardless of the denomination, and the design of Sayama Forest Church takes both elements into account.

场地是一个小的三角形地块，毗邻一条交通流量低的市政道路和一条几乎没有行人的非合法街道。因此，设计师决定创造一个空间，致力于超越其存在的森林，通过倾斜墙壁向内，以避免树枝和树叶。

The site is a small triangular plot of land that is adjacent to a municipal road with a low traffic and a non-legal street with almost no pedestrian.  Therefore, Designer have decided to create a space that devotes to the forest that is transcendent in its existence, by tilting the wall inward to avoid the tree branches and leaves.

它形成了一种传统的日式加修式的立体结构，两根斜梁相互靠着，向各个方向展开。屋顶覆盖着波纹状纹理的铸铝瓦，每一块砖都是工匠亲手制作的。

It forms a traditional Japanese Gassho- style structure composed three-dimensionally as two leaning beams set against each other are developed in every direction.  The roof is covered with cast-aluminum tiles with ripple-like textures each made by hands of craftsmen.

向森林方向倾斜1厘米的地面引导人们走向逝者和祈祷前屈的姿势。石板的图案和接缝延伸到森林深处的消失点，帮助人们将注意力集中在森林上。

The floor inclined towards the forest by 1 centimeter guides people towards the departed and the forward bending posture for praying.  The patterns and seams of the slate extend towards the vanishing point deep into the forest to help one concentrate the mind on the forest.

当一个人祈祷时，当手指轻轻地合在一起时，手会产生一个小小的温暖空间。这似乎是一个小的祈祷空间，形成了建筑。人们在祈祷，建筑也在祈祷。

When one prays, a small warm space is created within the hands as the fingers gently join. It seems as if that small space of prayer was taken out to form the architecture.  As people pray, so does the architecture.
