Text description provided by the architects. Architecture and Landscape

新的克鲁兹图姆(草本植物中心)坐落在一个不规则的街区中间，景观点缀着传统的工业建筑。它拉长的形状与这一地区长期以来具有鲜明特征的路径和树篱相呼应。建筑的长度也反映了草药工业加工的步骤，从干燥和切割到混合和储存。新的加工厂使Ricola能够将这些重要步骤整合到公司自己的内部生产中。

The new Kräuterzentrum (herb center) is situated like an erratic block in the midst of a landscape dotted with conventional industrial buildings. Its elongated shape echoes the pathways and the hedges that have long been a distinctive feature of this area. The length of the building also reflects the steps involved in the industrial processing of herbs, from drying and cutting to blending and storing. The new processing plant enables Ricola to integrate these important steps in the company's own in-house production.

建筑景观

Architecture as Landscape

Kr uterzdeum主要是从当地来源的地球上建造的；它就像一个几何的景观片段，其尺寸和古老的影响由于对材料的激进选择而加剧。草药和泥土定义了中心的目的-建造，独特的特征，跟随着Ricola的其他建筑的脚步：1987年的全自动仓库大楼，1993年在Mulhouse的生产和储存大楼-Brunstatt和它的屏幕印刷外观，以及1999年在Laufen的玻璃营销总部。这些建筑不仅体现了里科拉独特的理念和对环境的承诺，而且每个建筑都对自己的位置做出了惊人的贡献。

The Kräuterzentrum is built largely out of locally sourced earth; it is like a geometrical segment of landscape with its dimensions and archaic impact heightened by the radical choice of material. Herbs and earth define the purpose-built, distinctive character of the center, following in the footsteps of Ricola‘s other buildings: the fully automated storage building of 1987, the production and storage building of 1993 in Mulhouse-Brunstatt with its screenprint façade and the glazed marketing headquarters of 1999 in Laufen. These buildings not only embody Ricola's exceptional philosophy and commitment to the environment, they each make a striking contribution to their locations.

配送入口和仓库部分的药草中心的外观是整体的，在内部也可以看到壤土墙。预制的地球元素是在附近的一家工厂用从当地采石场和矿山提取的成分制造的。现场挖出的粘土、泥和材料混合在一个模板中进行压实，然后分层砌块建造墙壁。由于壤土的可塑性，接缝可以修整，使整体结构呈现均匀的外观。为防止风雨侵蚀，将石灰与火山凝灰岩(Trass)混合而成的Trass砂浆，每8层直接在模板中压实一层土。大的圆形窗户照亮了房间。外立面是自力支撑的，与内部的混凝土承重结构简单地连接在一起。

The delivery entrance and warehouse sections of the herb center’s façade are monolithic, with the loam walls visible in the interior as well. The prefabricated earth elements are manufactured in a nearby factory out of ingredients extracted from local quarries and mines. Clay, marl and material excavated on site are mixed and compacted in a formwork and then layered in blocks to build the walls. Thanks to the plasticity of the loam, the seams can be retouched giving the overall structure a homogeneous appearance. To arrest erosion caused by wind and rain, a trass mortar achieved mixing volcanic tuff (trass) with lime, is compacted every 8 layers of earth directly in the formwork. Large round windows illuminate the rooms. The façade is self-supporting and simply linked to the concrete loadbearing structure of the interior.

能源与可持续性

Energy and Sustainability

能源和可持续性不仅仅被视为技术辅助工具；它们被作为一个整体纳入项目的架构和基本特征中。地球作为调节湿度的材料，对能源的使用和总体气候控制具有积极、可持续的影响。屋顶上的光伏组件和附近生产中心余热的使用也有助于改善Kr uterzdeum的生态平衡。参观者可以在顶层的一个特殊的游客中心观看草药的加工和混合。

Energy and sustainability are not simply treated as technical auxiliaries; they are built into the architecture and essential features of the project as a whole. Earth as a material that regulates humidity has a positive, sustainable effect on the use of energy and overall climate control. Photovoltaic modules on the roof and the use of waste heat from the production center nearby also contribute to improving the ecological balance of the Kräuterzentrum. Visitors will be able to watch the processing and blending of the herbs in a special visitor center on the top floor.
