欧姆格文：在欧洲大陆的历史背景下，过去的建筑仍然存在，建筑师们经常面临这样一个问题：他们是应该恢复物理还是恢复概念。安特卫普市和遗产委员会联合决定修复德尔内历史悠久的博肯贝格公园后，这个问题浮出水面。在公私合作的框架内，OMGEVING办公室被任命为塑造城市的新雄心。
OMGEVING: Working in a historical context, of the continental Europe where the architecture of the past is still very much present, architects are often faced with the question of whether they should restore the physical or rehabilitate the conceptual. This question came to the fore in response to the combined decision of the city of Antwerp and the heritage committee to rehabilitate the historical Boekenberg Park in Deurne. Within the framework of a public-private partnership, the office OMGEVING was appointed to give shape to the new ambitions of the city.

基于对遗址的历史分析，建筑师和景观设计师建议在18世纪英国花园的概念框架内进行新的开发。这个概念是要把游客带到已经叙述和精心安排的浪漫自然环境中，让他面对充满情感的戏剧性“事件”。因此，退化的景观必须被带到其理想的形式和20世纪的混凝土池中，变成了一个森林池塘，慢慢地融入周围的环境。考虑到水质必须符合当前的健康和安全法规，建议使用生态水处理技术，从而创造新的水生生态系统。
Based on historical analysis of the site, architects and landscape designers have proposed to approach the new development within the conceptual framework of 18th century English Garden. The concept was to bring the visitor to the already narrated and carefully arranged romantic natural setting and to confront him with emotionally charged dramatic “events.” Therefore the degenerated landscape had to be brought to its ideal form and 20th century concrete pool, transformed into a forest pond merging gently into its surroundings. Keeping in mind that the water quality must correspond with the current health and safety regulations, it was proposed to use an ecological water treatment technology which in turn allowed for a new aquatic ecosystem to be created.

同时，在水的对面出现了三个亭子。作为一组独立的文物设计，它们的形式唤起了18世纪汉斯·古德（Hans Gude）或彼得·巴尔克（Peter Balke）绘画中戏剧性岩层的形象。它们之间的缝隙，就像悬崖之间的裂痕，轻轻地勾勒出水面对面古老树林的景色。这种对历史的创造性重新诠释，使建筑师能够采取行动，同时保持对场地历史的尊重，符合舒适性和可持续性的现代标准。
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the water three pavilions emerge. Designed as a group of independent artifacts, their forms evoke images of the dramatic rock formations seen in 18th century paintings of Hans Gude or Peter Balke. The gaps between them, like chasms between cliffs, gently frame the views of the old woods on the opposite side of the water. This creative reinterpretation of the history allowed the architects to take action whilst maintaining respect for a site’s history, catering to the modern standards of comfort and sustainability.
