该构筑物所在的地区被果园包围，这些果园最初是为兴建新的住宅和商业建筑项目而建的。在设计过程中，我们决定考虑周围的环境。为城市改造而拆除的乡村环境纪念碑。

The area in which the structure is situated was surrounded by orchards which were originally raised to make space for new residential and commercial building projects. During the design process we decided to take the surroundings into consideration. By erecting a monument to the rural surroundings that were demolished for urban repurposing.

纪念碑由一个裸露的混凝土板组成，象征着建筑的扩张。这个板子是用树形金属柱子来稳定的，表示被砍倒的树木.一棵橡树留在结构内。树上方的天花板是开放的，允许树的存在，在活树和金属符号之间创造一个对话。

The monument consists of an exposed concrete slab symbolizing the expansion of construction. The slab is stabilized by tree-shaped metal pillars denoting the trees that were cut down. One oak tree remains within the structure. The ceiling above the tree was left open to allow for the presence of the tree to create a dialogue between the living tree and the metal symbols.

在建筑物的北侧有一条混凝土线，从西侧的地面开始，从窗户爬上来。上升到屋顶，天花板和墙壁，并使它的最后体面回到地面-就像一个人谁从尘埃和尘埃回来。

On the northern side of the building there is a line of concrete, beginning in the ground on the west side and climbing up through the window. Ascending to the roof, ceilings and walls and making its final decent back to the ground - like a man who comes from dust and to dust returns.
