阿默斯福特集中营国家纪念馆是荷兰鲁斯登的一座纪念馆兼博物馆，曾是第二次世界大战期间被德国占领的荷兰国土上最大的集中营中转站之一。有三万人在这个中转站被拘留过，数百个被发现死亡或被处决。俄罗斯战俘也曾被关押在这里，这给该集中营添加上特殊的国际性。随着时间的流逝，回忆的淡薄，这个集中营已成为对在荷兰的第二次世界大战期间发生的恐怖事件最后一个提醒。

Camp Amersfoort National Monument is a monument and museum in Leusden, one of the largest concentration camps in the German-occupied Netherlands during the Second World War. Thirty-seven thousand people were interned there and hundreds were found dead or executed. Russian prisoners of the war were also imprisoned here, which gives the camp a special international dimension. It is a lasting reminder of the horrors that took place in the Netherlands during the Second World War and a testimony to the many crimes against humanity committed at that time.

在 2003 年，Inbo 被聘请设计阿默斯福特集中营的游客中心兼纪念馆。设计起点是保护历史的真实性，这也是保持对历史教训的警觉。Inbo 有意识地选择了设计一个可以融入周围景观的空间，而不是通过嵌入一个陌生的体块来扰乱景观。对于 Inbo 来说，保持设计与周围的绿色森林完全和谐是非常重要的。 游客中心建成后取得了巨大成功，并于 2005 年获得了阿默斯福特的建筑奖。

Inbo was asked to design the Visitor Center for Camp Amersfoort in 2003. Keeping the authenticity intact in order to maintain an awareness of the space’s history became the starting point of Inbo’s design. Instead of creating a building in the location, Inbo opted to develop a space that merges into the existing landscape rather than disturbing it. It was very important for Inbo to keep the design in total harmony with the surrounding green forest. This project was a great success and was awarded the architecture prize of Amersfoort in 2005.

然而，随着时间的推移，纪念馆需要发展并承担新的空间以及社会功能。一方面，目前的博物馆空间需要升级：参观人数在不断增加，但展出的信息并不容易被阅读和理解，特别是在没有个人解释的情况下。另一方面，历史在当今的世界还在不断重演，对保持时代相关性的展览信息的需求比以往任何时候都更加重要和紧迫。想一想我们这个时代继续犯下的许多危害人类的罪过——战争，难民危机，种族主义和仇外心理的崛起——不久的将来，存活下来的人们将无法亲自讲述他们的故事。阿默斯福特集中营作为目击者，必须生动地演示这个地方曾经经历过的故事，把历史深刻地记录下来。

However, as time has passed, the memorial has begun to evolve and take on new spatial and social functions. On the one hand, there is a need to upgrade the museum spaces: the number of visitors is growing, but the exhibited information is very difficult to read, especially without a personal explanation. On the other hand, due to the fact that history keeps repeating itself everywhere in the world, the need for the exhibition to remain relevant is more important and more urgent than ever. Thinking of the many crimes against humanity that continue to be committed during our time—the war crimes, the refugee crisis, the rise of racism and xenophobia—and looking towards a future in which the camp residents will no longer be able to tell their story first hand, Camp Amersfoort must be a vivid presentation in which the history of the place is highlighted in a penetrating way.
