▼寺庙坐落在智利圣地亚哥边缘，the Bahá’í Temple of South America sits on the edge of Santiago

在这座建筑的深处，蕴藏着一种信仰和愿望：即使是在今天，在布满裂痕的21世纪，我们仍旧怀着某种热切的向往，我们希望人类相互凝聚、彼此联系，我们依然渴望精神的振动。巴哈伊寺庙坐落在圣地亚哥边缘，倚靠着安第斯山脉的脊梁。它是由巴哈伊司法委员会委托建造的第八座、同时也是最后一个代表大洲的巴哈伊教寺庙。项目的设计内容与核心理念是创造一个友好的、属于每一个人的场所。

At the heart of this building there is a belief and an aspiration: that even now, in the fractured 21st-century, we can respond to a human yearning to come together, to connect to one another, and to something that moves the spirit. The Temple sits on the edge of Santiago and nestles against the spine of the Andes mountains. It was commissioned by the Bahá’í House of Justice and is the eighth and final continental temple for the Bahá’í Faith. But, central to its brief and its design is that it be a place of welcome, community and meaning for everyone.

作为一个“人”的场所，寺庙的形式和景观都展现出一种普世的吸引力。从本质上看，这是一座从光线中汲取生命的建筑。九个造型独特的“翅膀”以扭转的姿态形成优雅的聚合，最终交汇于顶部的窗洞，由此在与地面相连的中央空间周围营造出一种轻盈的律动。寺庙是轻盈的，同时也是牢牢扎根于地面的，能够给人带来永恒的感觉。圆形的体量拥有九个立面，立面上的九个入口由形到心向每一个人敞开。

The Temple is a human place, universally appealing in its form and at one with its landscape. Distilled to its very essence, the Temple is a building that seeks to come alive with light – embodied light. Composed of nine identical, gracefully torqued wings bound to the oculus at the top, creating a weightless movement around a grounded centre, the Temple is light but also rooted and has a sense of permanence. A circular structure with nine sides, nine entrances open, figuratively and symbolically, to everyone.
