HOW ONE CAN MEET DEATH
As win­ner of an archi­tec­tu­ral com­pe­ti­tion held by Linz AG, Heidl archi­tec­ts have upgra­ded the ceme­te­ry of St Mar­tin by restruc­tu­ring the entran­ce area and buil­ding a cha­pel of rest.
They have suc­cee­ded in empha­si­sing the mea­ning of the pla­ce by the use of esta­bli­shed desi­gn tools like monu­men­ta­li­ty or the crea­tion of visual axes. On the other hand they use natu­ral com­po­nen­ts like gras­sy mounds, san­dy paths and clear gro­ves to empha­si­se the spe­cial qua­li­ty of the woo­dy cemetery.
In no part of the area they lose sight of their aim – to defi­ne the spa­ce throu­gh a sequen­ce of exte­rior and inte­rior rooms and to the­re­fo­re assi­gn cer­tain usa­ges and con­nec­ted moods.
The tri­par­ti­te main entran­ce door opens up to a woo­ded court that is boun­ded by a simi­lar door situa­tion in the back. From here the view falls straight on the main axis lea­ding into the green.
A few steps far­ther a bell tower posi­tio­ned in front of the entran­ce faça­de of an admi­ni­stra­tion buil­ding ini­tia­tes the chan­ge of direc­tion of 90 degrees. One now moves towards the cha­pel of rest in an exte­rior spa­ce pro­tec­ted by a wall, an earth mound and the sky… Metal coa­ted sli­ding doors open up to the main room of the cha­pel of rest. On the oppo­si­te side one will later step outsi­de into the old cha­pel that is inte­gra­ted into the new struc­tu­re conclusively.
ATTEN­TI­VE IN NICHES
The five lying in sta­te niches are hid behind a clad­ding of whi­te stai­ned oak wood sla­ts along the long side of the room, so that the atten­tion is focu­sed on the invol­ved niche.
On the other side the floor rises – level­ling the per­spec­ti­ve – towards the oppo­si­te long side, that opens up glas­si­ly atop a bench to a silent court with a sin­gle tree. Via glas­sy sec­tions in the roof rays of light fall onto the walls. The mode­st colour­ful­ness and mate­ria­li­ty of the room under­li­ne the mes­sa­ge to put the human into the cen­tre and to find some­thing spe­cial in the simple.
