Kalkparken i Faxe是一个美丽的项目，它以一种非凡的方式在景观建筑中使用图形混凝土。
Kalkparken i Faxe is a beautiful project that uses graphic concrete in landscape architecture in a remarkable way.
该项目由景观设计师埃伦·舍尔德设计，她受到当地石灰岩的启发，希望通过她的设计传达附近石灰石采石场的历史。进入公园时，可以看到通往石灰石采石场和地质博物馆边缘的小路。带图案的混凝土基座充当楼梯，穿过公园的缓坡地形，通向石灰石采石场。由于当地的石灰岩很脆弱，设计师选择耐用的混凝土来讲述在石灰岩层中发现的古代化石的故事。
The project is designed by landscape architect Ellen Schelde, who was inspired by the local limestone and wanted to convey the history of the nearby limestone quarry through her design. The path that leads to the edge of the limestone quarry and geological museum is visible when entering the park. Patterned graphic concrete plinths act as a stairway, spreading through the park’s gently sloping terrain and leading up to the limestone quarry. As the local limestone is fragile, the designer chose durable concrete to tell the stories of the ancient fossils discovered within the layers of limestone.
底座由总共230个混凝土构件组成，展示了浇铸在图形混凝土上的有趣图像。底座由白色混凝土和特白水泥混合而成，由奥豪斯水泥公司（a/S）预制。
The plinths – made from a total of 230 concrete elements – display intriguing images that are cast onto the graphic concrete. The plinths are made from a mixture of white concrete and extra-white cement, and were prefabricated by Århus Cementvarefabrik A/S.
Morten Schelde is the artist behind the images displayed on the plinths. His illustrations present a fascinating timeline of fossils from different periods of the quarry’s history.
这些图像被蚀刻在混凝土表面，被小心地暴露出来，就像它们出现在采石场的墙壁上一样。当游客沿着公园的主干道行走时，可以按照时间轴走，时间轴涵盖了很长一段时间。它从大约6500万年前一颗小行星撞击地球开始，接着是达尼亚时代和冰河时代的化石，最后是孩子们在石灰石采石场凿化石——这是今天采石场的一项流行活动。
Etched into the surface of the concrete, the images are discreetly revealed, as they would appear in the quarry walls. While walking along the park's main path, visitors can follow the timeline, which covers a huge expanse of time. It starts with an asteroid hitting the earth approximately 65 million years ago, moves on to the fossils of the Danian Age and the Ice Age, and ends in the present day with children chiseling at fossils in the limestone quarry - a popular activity in the quarry today.
代表粉笔颜色的纯白色底座位于一个大草坪表面，作为这件美丽艺术品的深色对比底座。它们交错放置在草坪上是指在采石场发现的地质分层。他们创造了一个儿童可以玩耍，游客可以休息的公园-一个享受自然和沉浸在我们地球历史的完美地方。
The stark white plinths representing the chalk colour are situated in a large lawn surface as a dark contrasting base for this beautiful work of art. Their staggered placement on the lawn refers to the geological stratification found in the quarry. They create a park where children can play and visitors can rest - a perfect place to enjoy nature and immerse yourself in the history of our earth.
In the evening, the plinths are illuminated from below, highlighting the park's layered structure and the fantastic artwork that reveals it's ancient history.
