布基纳法索总理Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo为一座纪念泛非革命家、布基纳法索前总统Thomas Sankara及其十二位助手的陵墓举行了落成仪式。Sankara曾于1983年至1987年间担任布基纳法索总统，1987年10月15日，他在一场政变中被暗杀，年仅37岁，与他一同遇害的还有十二位官员。在他的领导下，Sankara积极推动女性权利、发起环境保护运动、追求经济独立，留下了深远的国家改革遗产。

Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo, Prime Minister of Burkina Faso, has inaugurated a mausoleum commemorating pan-Africanist revolutionary and former president of Burkina Faso Thomas Sankara, along with twelve of his aides. Sankara was president of Burkina Faso from 1983 until his assassination at the age of 37 during a coup on October 15, 1987, when twelve ofﬁcials were also killed. Under his leadership, Sankara championed women’s rights, launched environmental campaigns, pursued economic independence and left an enduring legacy of national reforms.

Thomas Sankara纪念陵墓是这位前总统及其十二位亲密战友的长眠之地。设计灵感源于太阳的运行轨迹，十三座墓穴以建筑中心为圆心呈同心圆排列，每座墓穴上方设有天窗。阳光会在不同时刻依次照亮不同的墓穴，引导访客穿行于不同的追思空间。陵墓内部设有十三根柱子，围合出十三个开放空间，象征被杀害者的缺席，也提醒人们这些逝者给其家庭留下的巨大空缺。陵墓外部，一条蜿蜒多彩的展亭引导参观者从Thomas Sankara大道进入建筑。

The Thomas Sankara Mausoleum is the ﬁnal resting place of the former president and his twelve closest companions. Inspired by the path of the sun, the thirteen tombs are arranged concentrically from the centre of the building, each underneath a single skylight. At each hour, a new tomb is lit by the sun overhead, moving the visitor across the room and into a new space of remembrance. Thirteen columns create thirteen open spaces that physically represent the absence of those who were killed — a poignant reminder of the gap created in the lives of their families. Outside, a winding and colorful pavilion directs visitors from Boulevard Thomas Sankara to the entrance of the building.

陵墓顶部覆盖着一个高达34米的大穹顶，用于遮挡烈日并调节室温。陵墓朝东西方向布置，以引入主导风向，两扇大型格栅门常开以实现自然通风，配合建筑本身巨大的热质量来维持凉爽。建筑所用的砖石材料为当地采集的红土和黏土砖，延续了Sankara推崇的“泥土建筑”理念。当地社区积极参与了黏土采集，这一建造模式从瓦加杜古延伸至布基纳法索更广阔的区域。

A large 34-metre dome seals the mausoleum and protects the space from intense heat from the sun above. Oriented to capture prevailing east-west winds, two large gates marking the entrance to the mausoleum are louvred open to provide passive ventilation to the structure — retaining coolth through its large thermal mass. The mausoleum is made of laterite and clay bricks that were sourced locally from the region, continuing Sankara’s commitment to using earth construction in Burkina Faso. Local communities were involved in sourcing the clay for the site, initiating a system of building that spread far beyond the immediate area of Ouagadougou and across Burkina Faso at large.

陵墓的竣工标志着更大规模纪念项目——Thomas Sankara纪念公园第一阶段的完成。该公园由“Thomas Sankara国际纪念委员会”发起，布基纳法索政府出资，由Kéré Architecture设计，占地14公顷，规划包含一个露天剧场、餐厅、商店、办公空间、教育与会议设施。除了作为礼仪核心的陵墓外，园区还将建有一座纪念塔，塔的选址正是桑卡拉和战友们遇害之处。这座纪念塔将高达100米，设有一处87米高的观景平台，以纪念1987年遇刺的历史时刻。该平台邀请未来的世代在此延续Thomas Sankara的理想与梦想。

The completion of this mausoleum marks the conclusion of the ﬁrst stage of a larger memorial project: the Thomas Sankara Memorial Park, initiated by the Comité International pour le Mémorial Thomas Sankara, ﬁnanced by the government of Burkina Faso and designed by Kéré Architecture. The Thomas Sankara Memorial Park will span 14 hectares and feature an amphitheater, restaurants, shops, ofﬁces, educational and conference facilities. In addition to the mausoleum, which serves as its ceremonial center, a tower will rise above the site where Sankara and his comrades were killed. The tower will be 100 meters in height, with an accessible terrace at 87 meters — a symbolic reference to the year of the assassination. The platform invites generations to come to dream the dream of Thomas Sankara.

建筑师弗朗西斯·凯雷（Francis Kéré）表示：“这是我首次承担为一位伟大人物建造纪念性建筑的责任。由于Sankara是在这里遇害的，这片场地长期以来被人们视为恐惧之地。如今，它已被转化为一个交流与休憩之所，激发人们的记忆、尊重与希望。Thomas Sankara在塑造布基纳法索的过程中发挥了关键作用——甚至为这个国家命名。他的泛非主义思想如今比以往任何时候都更具共鸣。我早年与他相识，是我人生的重要转折点。我相信，布基纳法索的许多人都与Sankara及其事业保持着深厚的情感联系。这个陵墓属于人民，它不仅是一个重要的历史遗址，更象征着进步、变革与希望。”

Francis Kéré remarked: “This is the ﬁrst time I have been asked to take on the responsibility of constructing a building in memory of a great ﬁgure. Given that Sankara was killed there, the site remained a place of fear for a long time. It has now been transformed into a space of encounter and recreation, that fosters remembrance, respect, and hope. Thomas Sankara played a crucial role in shaping Burkina Faso—even giving our country its name—and his pan-Africanist ideas resonate more deeply today than ever before. Meeting him was a pivotal moment in my early life, and I think many people in Burkina Faso feel a strong connection to Thomas Sankara and his work. The mausoleum will be a space that belongs to the people, presenting an important historic site as a symbol of progress, change, and hope for all.”

Thomas Sankara纪念公园也将纳入瓦加杜古“绿色带”城市发展规划，在公园中建设新建筑物，为这座干旱的首都城市增添宝贵的绿色空间，同时致敬Sankara的环保理念。

The Thomas Sankara Memorial Park is integrated into the Ouagadougou Green Belt development plan, which will establish new buildings within a park, creating valuable green space for the arid capital city and honoring Sankara’s environmental legacy.
