敬那些英勇過人的戰士——以色列《赫茨爾山國家紀念館》

由以色列國防部委託，這間來自以色列特拉維夫市的建築事務所規劃並設計了《赫茨爾山國家紀念館》，供集體或私人前來表達對過去陣亡將士的憑弔。
Tel Aviv-based architecture practice Kimmel Eshkolot Architects was selected by the Israeli Ministry of Defence to design this memorial as a place for collective and private grief.

一面250公尺長的牆面圍繞在建築物的周邊。牆體由超過23000塊鋁磚構成，每一塊鋁磚上則刻上陣亡將士的姓名及死亡日期。在每年的週年紀念日，白熾燈會被點亮，並點燃蠟燭以表尊重。這面牆被稱為「姓名之牆」。
A 250-meter long wall that wraps around the building is made up of more than 23,000 aluminum bricks. Each brick is engraved with the name of a deceased soldier and marks the date of their death. On every anniversary, incandescent lights shine on the brick and a candle is lit as a mark of respect. The wall has been called the ‘Wall of Names’.

牆面的磚塊以獨特的方式排列，最終形成一個捲起的漏斗狀，上方的開口能將自然光線引入室內，讓空間中充滿莊嚴肅穆的氛圍。
These bricks are arranged in a funnel-shaped formation that opens the space up to the sky and to natural light.
