丹麦Roskilde地区世界文化遗产大教堂的旁边迎来了第二个高耸的地标式建筑—能源塔。该塔由Erick van Egeraat设计，是该地区的新废物再生能源焚烧塔。昨天由丹麦王储殿下Frederik揭开了帷幕。

该塔将焚烧来自周围九个市区甚至国外的垃圾来满足整个Roskilde地区的电热需求。为了在面积较小，地势相对平坦的Roskilde地区修建一座与周围环境和谐相融的废物再生能源焚烧塔，相关机构组织了一场国际设计大赛。2008年，组委会全体通过了Erick van Egeraat的设计提案。该设计为当地废物管理公司，即业主Kara/Noveren设计了一座不仅具备高功能性而且被赋予了标志性外观的新焚烧塔。焚烧塔的立面共两层：内层承担气候壁障的功能，而外层则更为随意，为带有不规则激光切割圆孔的棕色原铝板。经过颜色处理的铝板白天展示出本真的棕色和金属光泽；夜晚，两层立面之间的灯光系统让燃烧塔展现出另一番韵味。

With the new waste-to-energy Incineration Line, the city of Roskilde in Denmark welcomed a second towering landmark, besides the UNESCO world heritage Cathedral: The Energy Tower designed by Erick van Egeraat. The facility was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik yesterday, September 2, 2014.

The plant will incinerate waste, from nine surrounding municipalities and from many places abroad to produce electricity and heat power for the whole region of Roskilde. To provide the huge new incinerator line, planned in a relatively flat landscape and next to the relatively small city of Roskilde with a suitable appearance, an international design competition was organized. In 2008 the jury unanimously selected the design proposed by Erick van Egeraat. The design presents an iconic expression for the otherwise functional architecture of the local waste management company Kara/Noveren’s next generation incineration line. The façade consists of two layers: the inner layer is the skin which provides the actual climatic barrier, allowing the second skin to be treated more freely – raw umber-coloured aluminium plates with an irregular pattern of laser cut circular holes. The aluminium plates are treated to give them the desired colour and patina at day time. At night, the programmable lighting, installed between the two facades, gives the building an additional metaphor.

Erick van Egeraat说道：“夜晚，背后灯光照耀的多孔立面将焚烧塔变成了散发微光的灯塔—同时这也象征了该能源装置的功能特点。一小时内每隔一段时间，星星之光都会慢慢变成点亮整个建筑的熊熊“火焰”。“火焰”退去，微光回归，建筑看起来如同燃烧的灰烬。”

“只见光亮，不见光源”这一点对于营造良好的立面灯光效果十分重要，因此灯光首先反射到内层立面上，然后透过多孔的外层皮肤显现出来。所有灯具和光线颜色都能进行个性化设置。在这里，灯光的目的不再是照亮天空或让燃烧塔在周围环境中独树一帜，而是用来显示建筑的工业特点，更重要的是让燃烧塔在夜晚呈现出诗意般的美感和视觉体验。

Erick van Egeraat states about his design:
‘‘At night the backlight perforated façade transforms the incinerator into a gently glowing beacon – a symbol of the plant’s energy production. Several times an hour a spark of light will gradually grow into a burning flame that lights up the entire building. When the metaphorical fire ceases, the building falls back into a state of burning embers.’’

For the illumination of the façade it was important that only the light and not the light sources themselves are visible. This has been realized by reflecting the light on the inner façade, which allowed the light glowing decently through the perforated skin. All luminaries can be programmed individually and in colour. Nevertheless the lighting is not intended to brighten the sky or dominate the surroundings, but rather serves to underline the buildings’ industrial character and above all to give it poetic meaning and experience at night.

该设计的施工细节简单，铝板的制造采用了先进的科学技术，并运用了巧妙的处理和重复方法。焚烧塔的大体量必定会使之成为Roskilde地区开阔景观中的一道独特风景线。它将废物变为能源，是现代化和可持续能源装置的杰作。

The design is based on simple construction details combined with cutting edge manufacturing technology for the production of the aluminium façade panels and clever processing and repetition. Due to its large scale, the incinerator is destined to become an outstanding structure in the wide and open landscape of the Roskilde area and represents a hypermodern and sustainable energy plant, where waste will be turned into power.

Roskilde地区新能源塔带来了除单纯工业建筑群之外的附加价值。它让这座原丹麦首都的天际线变得更为丰富，同时其特色的轮廓也是建筑历史上的经典之作。建筑下部模仿周围工厂的尖角屋顶，而上部让人印象深刻的97m尖塔则以现代化的方式与该市重要文化遗产Roskilde教堂相呼应。

Erick van Egeraat说道：“尽管相隔将近1000年，暖色石头和砖块建立的历史教堂和形象化的新时代焚烧塔仍能够协力守卫这座被风景包围的谦逊城市，我为此感到骄傲！”

The new incinerator in Roskilde is created specifically to add value to an otherwise purely industrial complex. Enriching the skyline of this small Danish city, once the Danish Capital, the silhouette of the incinerator also provides an historic comment. The lower part of the building resembles angular roofs of surrounding factories, but the impressive 97-meter spire and its materialization is the modern counterpart of the city’s prime historical monument, the Roskilde Cathedral.”

Erick van Egeraat: “Although almost 1000 years apart, the Cathedral’s twin towers made of warmly coloured stone and brick ánd the new iconic glowing incinerator, have now together become the novel guardians of the city’s otherwise modest presence in the Skagerrag landscape. Of course I am proud of that”.
