随着由 Lemay 设计的皇家山圣若瑟大殿新访客亭正式揭幕，这一魁北克参观量最高的宗教与文化场所迎来了新的篇章。这座四层高的建筑介入在庄严与当代表达之间取得平衡，使大殿与周围景观形成连续而自然的联系。作为一处每年吸引逾两百万名访客的重要地标，该访客亭重新定义了人们进入与感知这一圣地的方式。

With the unveiling of a new pavilion for Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal designed by Lemay, a new chapter has begun for visitors to Quebec’s most-visited religious and cultural site. This four-storey architectural intervention blends reverence and modernity, offering a seamless connection between the Oratory and its landscape, which welcomes over two million visitors annually.

自建成以来，圣若瑟大殿始终是一座信仰与沉思的灯塔，是建筑与虔敬精神交汇的圣所。此次新增建筑作为自 2000 年启动的总体规划的一部分，标志着一次深刻的演进——在尊重历史遗产的同时，回应面向未来的愿景。从访客抵达的那一刻起，便被引导进入一系列精心编排的空间序列之中，重新诠释朝圣体验，使穿行于场地的过程本身成为一场探索之旅。

Since its founding, Saint Joseph’s Oratory has stood as a beacon of faith and contemplation, and a sanctuary where architecture and devotion intersect. This latest addition, part of the site’s ongoing master plan since 2000, marks a profound evolution that embraces both the heritage and a forward-looking vision. From the moment visitors arrive, they are invited into a carefully choreographed sequence of spaces that reinterprets the pilgrimage experience, transforming movement through the site into an act of exploration.

这一转变的核心是一座极具标志性的全新钟楼。塔内安置着一套由 62 口钟组成的钟琴系统，它既是大殿的体验性与音乐性装置，也是引导访客的象征性与听觉性地标。钟声数十年来回荡于皇家山，如今与新访客亭共同构建起一场多感官的沉浸体验：钟声的敲响标记着行进的节奏，在声音、光线与材质之间形成交织互动，深化了访客的精神旅程。

At the heart of this transformation is a striking new bell tower, a vertical landmark housing a 62-bell carillon which forms an experiential and musical instrument of the Oratory, and a symbolic and auditory guide for visitors. Combined with the pavilion, the bells’ decades-long resonant presence, known to echo across Mount Royal, now leads visitors through a multi-sensory immersion: As the chimes resonate, they mark the rhythm of passage—an interplay of sound, light, and materiality that deepens the spiritual journey.

植根于皇家山的地形之中，访客亭如同自然流线的有机延续，在强化朝圣者向上行进仪式感的同时，也显著提升了无障碍可达性。声音与环境条件共同塑造了钟楼中木材与玻璃之间的精妙平衡，营造出轻盈而沉静的氛围；而访客亭整体的材料策略同样取材于山体本身，在建筑与自然形态之间建立起无缝衔接：以场地开挖石材构成的石笼墙呼应了大殿基座的厚重感，同时将自然光过滤至下方空间，唤起彩色玻璃般的神圣意象。层层退台的屋顶如同山体中的天然平台，展开新的观景视角，将穹顶与城市景观一并纳入视野。

Rooted in the topography of Mount Royal, the pavilion is an organic continuation of the site’s natural flow, reinforcing the ascendant procession of pilgrims, while enhancing universal accessibility. These auditory and environmental contexts influence the tower’s delicate balance of wood and glass, creating an ethereal and contemplative atmosphere, as well as the pavilion’s overall material palette, which draws from the mountain itself for a seamless connection between built and natural forms: Gabion walls, constructed using stone excavated from the site, echo the solidity of the Oratory’s foundation while filtering natural light into the spaces below and evoking the sacred qualities of stained glass. Terraced rooftops unfold like natural plateaus on the landscape, offering breathtaking new perspectives of the dome and the city beyond.

访客亭的材料表达不仅强化了其与山体的对话，也呼应了这一获得 LEED 银级认证项目所体现的可持续理念。多项策略被系统性地嵌入设计之中，以尽可能降低对环境的影响：原有硬质铺装被绿地取代，有效缓解热岛效应并提升生物多样性；高性能围护结构，以及节能照明与通风系统，在保障室内舒适度的同时显著降低了建筑的碳足迹。

The pavilion’s materiality not only reinforces its dialogue with the mountain, but also aligns with a broader commitment to sustainability characterizing this LEED Silver certified project. Embedded throughout the project, these strategies ensure minimal environmental impact. Paved surfaces have been replaced with green spaces, reducing heat island effects and enhancing biodiversity. High-performance insulation, and energy-efficient lighting and ventilation systems reduce the building’s carbon footprint, while maintaining optimal indoor comfort.

在访客亭内部，一系列经过精心策划的空间依次展开，激发沉思、参与与惊喜的多重体验。位于高处的餐厅俯瞰周围景观，开阔的全景视野为人们提供驻足与感悟的时刻；新营造的公共广场与神圣花园则鼓励静默冥想，与建筑设计自然融合。节奏分明的天窗与发光天花板在空间中形成隐性的引导，强化流线的自然过渡。这些开口在室内与室外之间建立起动态联系，呈现出周边环境的片段，也使建筑与其历史与场所语境紧密相连。

As visitors move through the pavilion, they encounter a series of curated spaces designed to evoke contemplation, engagement, and wonder. The cafeteria, perched high above the landscape, offers panoramic views that invite moments of pause and appreciation. Newly created public squares and sacred gardens encourage quiet reflection, seamlessly integrating with the building’s design. A rhythmic sequence of skylights and illuminated ceilings subtly guides movement, enhancing a natural flow through the space. These openings establish a dynamic relationship between the interior and exterior, revealing fragments of the surrounding context and connecting the building to its history and environment.

通过这一全新的建筑回应，Lemay 在圣若瑟大殿的更新中实现了文化遗产融合与当代需求适应之间的微妙平衡。访客亭以其明亮通透的空间、克制而深思熟虑的材料选择，以及对场所精神的深切敬意，既是一座纪念性的存在，也是一道开放的门槛，向所有寻求沉思、联结与探索的人敞开。

Through this new architectural approach to Saint Joseph’s Oratory, Lemay has struck a delicate balance between the integration with a cultural heritage and adaptation to contemporary needs. The pavilion’s luminous design, thoughtful materiality, and a deep reverence for place stands as both a monument and an open threshold, welcoming all who seek contemplation, connection, and discovery.
