梅特曼博物馆广场和尼安德特人公园
Museum Grounds And Neanderpark, Mettmann
Keeping it simple.
尼安德特人博物馆的不同寻常和难忘的建筑是迷人的，但它的网站建设的潜力是没有完全利用！因此，博物馆缺乏一个合适的环境——一个从周围景观中汲取灵感、在其中寻找规模和起源的框架。创建此框架实际上不需要任何重大更改。这仅仅是一个揭示现有森林景观及其水道和岩层的案例，并使其更具原创性。考虑到这一点，实际设计被刻意限制。它的设计词汇依然谨慎朴素。它的优点在于“简单”。
The Neanderthal Museum’s unusual and memorable architecture is captivating, but the potential of site it’s built on is had not been completely taken advantage of! And thus, the museum lacked an appropriate environment – a framework that drew its inspiration from the surrounding landscape, finding its scale and origins within it. Creating this framework did not actually require any major changes. It was merely a case of uncovering the existing forest-like landscape with its water courses and rock formations, and making it more accessible in its originality. With this in mind, the actual design is deliberately restrained. Its design vocabulary remains discreet and unpretentious. Its strength lies in its “simplicity”.

通过去除现场的人为因素和修改，自然和景观再次脱颖而出。该遗址森林般的自然环境被充实得像一个过去时。在清理现场北侧的部分木本植被的同时，加强了相邻道路沿线的边缘种植。这有助于突出森林空地的形象，而道路和邻近的酒店建筑现在都退到了背景中。感觉像是博物馆的地面已经扩大了。在这个新的背景下，博物馆建筑又重新焕然一新。
By ridding the site of its artificial elements and modifications, nature and landscape once again come to the fore. The site’s forest-like nature was fleshed out like a passe-partout. While some of the woody vegetation on the northern side of the site was cleared, edge plantings along the adjacent road were strengthened. This helped emphasise the image of a forest clearing, while the road and the neighbouring hotel building now recede into the background. It feels like the grounds of the museum have literally been extended. The museum building comes into its own again within this new setting.
为了加强景观的主题，小径和广场面积已减少到最低限度。连接现有目的地，即博物馆及其场地以及区域火车站和停车场，形成了一个连贯的路径网络，汇聚在博物馆前院。除游乐场外，其他重要目的地还有石器时代工作室、艺术小径和动物公园，以及通往Hochdahl S-Bahn站的道路，这条道路正在进行改进，以使乘坐区域火车前往博物馆的旅程更加吸引人。
In order to strengthen the theme of landscape, pathways and plaza areas have been reduced to a minimum. Linking the existing destinations, i.e. the museum and its grounds as well as the regional train station and parking lot, has resulted in a coherent network of paths that converge at the museum’s forecourt. In addition to the playground, other important destinations are the Stone Age Workshop, the Art Trail and the Animal Park, as well as the path to the Hochdahl S-Bahn station, which is being improved in order to make the journey to the museum by regional train even more attractive.
