里程碑，多宗教社区的未来：The Abrahamic 家庭社区

Adjaye Associates赢得阿布扎比（Abu Dhabi）地标竞赛——Abrahamic家庭社区

Adjaye Associates have been announced as the winner of the competition for the landmark project, The Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi.

由人类博爱高级委员会（The Higher Committee for Human Fraternity）委托建造Abrahamic家庭住宅是三个宗教空间的集合，一座清真寺、一座犹太教堂和一座天主教堂，它们坐落在一个教会游区之上。该项目是由一个新机构——高级委员会制定的首批倡议之一，该机构负责监督“人类博爱文件”在区域和国际的执行情况。这个具有里程碑意义的项目，旨在体现亚伯拉罕三大信仰之间的关系，同时为他们的宗教之间的对话、理解和共存提供一个平台。成立的高级委员会成员包括基督教、伊斯兰和犹太信仰领袖，并将在未来几个月邀请新成员加入。

The Abrahamic Family House commissioned by The Higher Committee for Human Fraternity, is a collection of three religious spaces, a mosque, a synagogue and a church, which sit upon a secular visitor pavilion. The project is one of the first initiatives set by The Higher Committee, a new body, who are overseeing the implementation of the “Document of the Human Fraternity” at both regional and international levels. The landmark project hopes to embody the relationship between the three Abrahamic faiths whilst providing a platform for dialogue, understanding, and coexistence between their religions. The founding Higher Committee members include Christian, Islamic and Jewish faith leaders with new members to be invited to join in the coming months.

Abrahamic家庭之家将成为宗教间对话和交流的社区，培养不同信仰、民族和文化之间和平共处和接受的价值观。在每个礼拜堂内，游客将有机会观看宗教仪式，聆听圣经，体验神圣仪式。第四个空间-不隶属于任何特定的宗教-将作为一个中心，所有善意的人聚集在一起作为一个整体，社区还将提供基础教育的项目。

Unveiled at an event held at the New York Public Library on 20th September, The Abrahamic Family House will serve as a community for inter-religious dialogue and exchange, nurturing the values of peaceful co-existence and acceptance among different beliefs, nationalities and cultures. Within each of the houses of worship, visitors will have the opportunity to observe religious services, listen to holy scripture and experience sacred rituals. The fourth space - not affiliated with any specific religion - will serve as a center for all people of goodwill to come together as one. The community will also offer educational and eventbased programming.

David Adjaye先生——Adjaye Associates设计公司创始人，说：“我在这个项目中的经验和学习带来了一个清晰的认识，我一直认为这三种宗教是非常不同的——我们一直这样理解，但随后你会发现这些令人难以置信的联系和重叠与这些明显的差异并存。后来我们体会到，不管什么宗教的发展与进化都类似，甚至惊人地接近。

建筑体量从三种信仰中诞生，我们用镜头来定义相似与不同，我们用启示的力量来创造建筑的形式。”

Sir David Adjaye, Founder and Principal of Adjaye Associates, comments on the project:

“My experience and learning with this project brought a clarity, I’ve always seen these three religions as very different – it’s what we’re led to believe, but then you discover these incredible connections and overlaps that sit with these distinct differences. The evolution which then developed the narrative was to discover what was adjacent, surprisingly close even. The Form is translated from the three faiths, we use the lens to define what is similar as opposed to what is different and we use the power of that revelation to make the form.

我们将这三种强大的宗教置入与清晰的几何结构，三个立方体坐在一个基座上——尽管没有对齐，但它们各自有不同的方向。然后，运用光影的力量使三种形式的宗教产生共鸣。

这些建筑代表了一个安全的空间，每一卷都有柱廊、屏风和拱顶来代表神圣的自然。我们的发现延续了共同点，即两者之间存在差异的公共空间。

我认为花园是一个强有力的暗示，在这个安全的空间，社区里的人都很礼貌地相互沟通，这样的花园存在于三个体量、三个信仰之间。

平台允许你与每个空间互动，这样就消除了由陌生而产生的无归属感，鼓励了人们庆祝这一集体历史和集体身份。”

We were led towards these powerful plutonic forms with a clear geometry, three cubes sitting on a plinth – though not aligned, they each have different orientations. The story then starts to become apparent through the power of the silhouette, unified with commonality and the articulation of the three forms.

These structures represent a safe space, each volume illustrated with colonnades, screens and vaults to represent the sacred nature. Our discovery continued with the common ground, the public space in-between, where the difference connects.

I saw the garden as a powerful metaphor, this safe space where community, connection and civility combine – this space exists between the three chambers, the three faiths.

The podium allows you to interact with each space, there’s no preventative threshold, and this way you dissolve the perceptions of not being included and encourage the celebration of this collective history & collective identity.”

David Adjaye先生说：我很荣幸我们的设计被选中。我相信，建筑应该致力于将我们想要生活的世界，一个宽容、开放和不断进步的世界。建筑和景观设计可以解释一个地方的结构和原则，推进对话，重新评估当前对世界的假设，并更有意义地发现一个地方可以回报什么。作为一个建筑师，我想创造一座开始消除等级差异的建筑——它应该代表普遍性和整体性——更高的东西，提高人类生活的丰富性。我们希望，我们已经制定了一个计划，为一个美丽和深思熟虑的空间，庆祝三种信仰，并刺激对话和理解在世界的关键时刻。这个空间建在阿联酋首都，将向世界开放，我们希望通过这些建筑，所有信仰的人和来自全社会的人都能学习和从事一项世代和平共处的使命。

Adjaye AssociatesSir David Adjaye, Founder and Principal of Adjaye Associates, comments on the competition:

“I am humbled and honored that our design has been selected. I believe architecture should work to enshrine the kind of world we want to live in, a world of tolerance, openness, and constant advancement. Architecture and landscape design can interpret the fabric and principles of a place, to advance the conversation, reassess current assumptions about the world, and discover more meaningfully what a place can give back. As an architect I want to create a building that starts to dissolve the notion of hierarchical difference – it should represent universality and totality – something higher, that enhances the richness of human life. We hope we have set out a plan for a beautiful and thoughtprovoking space that celebrates the three faiths and stimulates dialogue and understanding at a critical time for the world. Built in the UAE’s capital, the space will be open to the world, and our hope is that through these buildings people of all faiths and from across society can learn and engage in a mission of peaceful coexistence for generations to come.”

高级委员会对竞赛结果发表了评论：“当代设计是经过严格的过程挑选出来的，包括来自世界各地不同背景和信仰的建筑师。Adjaye Associates的设计尤为引人注目，为每个宗教都融入了独立的礼拜空间，以及协作和非正式聚会的共享空间。作为一种现代设计理念，它也反映了为后代创造持久空间的目标。”

The Higher Committee comments on the competition result: “The contemporary design was chosen after a rigorous process that included architects of diverse backgrounds and faiths from around the globe. Adjaye Associates design is particularly striking, incorporating separate worship spaces for each religion as well as a shared space for collaboration and informal gathering. As a modern design concept it also reflects the goal of creating an enduring space for future generations.”

阿布扎比王储、阿联酋武装部队副最高指挥官谢赫·穆罕默德·本·扎耶德殿下今年早些时候在阿布扎比接待了教皇方济各，他欢迎在实现人类博爱文件中表达的和平共处的雄心方面取得的进展。他还评论说，阿联酋很高兴支持这种促进容忍、合作和共存的倡议。

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, who hosted Pope Francis in Abu Dhabi earlier this year, welcomed the progress made in realizing the ambitions for peaceful coexistence expressed in the Human Fraternity document. He also commented that the UAE was pleased to support initiatives like this that foster tolerance, co-operation and coexistence.

这份具有里程碑意义的项目阐述了不同信仰的人如何和谐地生活在一起。教皇方济各和大阿訇形容，需要采取“对话文化为路径；相互合作为行为准则；相互理解为方法和标准”。

该项目还呼吁世界各国领导人“努力传播容忍和和平共处的文化，重新发现和平、正义、善、美的价值观，人类的友爱和共存，以确认这些价值观作为拯救所有人的重要性，并在任何地方促进它们。

The landmark document addresses how people of different faiths can live together harmoniously. Pope Francis and the Grand Imam describe the need to adopt “a culture of dialogue as the path; mutual cooperation as the code of conduct; reciprocal understanding as the method and standard.”

The document also calls on world leaders “to work strenuously to spread the culture of tolerance and of living together in peace…to rediscover the values of peace, justice, goodness, beauty, human fraternity and coexistence in order to confirm the importance of these values as anchors of salvation for all, and to promote them everywhere.
