架构师提供的文本描述。德累斯顿的特点是两次破坏：1938年11月9日在“Reichskristallnacht”的GottfriedSemper犹太教堂和1945年2月13日和14日盟军轰炸的整个历史城市。破坏在历史上是有联系的。然而，建筑的后果再不同不过了。一方面，德累斯顿再现了历史遗迹(如弗劳恩克尔切作为最具象征意义的重建)，建立了一个虚假的连续性和一个有问题的建筑稳定性的假象。另一方面，新犹太教堂代表了一种尝试，研究稳定与脆弱、永久与暂时、庙宇与帐幕之间的冲突。

Text description provided by the architects. Dresden is characterised by two destructions: Gottfried Semper´s synagogue in the "Reichskristallnacht" on 9th of november 1938 and the entire historical city on 13th and 14th february 1945 by allied bombings. The destructions are historically linked. Yet the architectural consequences couldn`t be more different. On the one hand Dresden reproduces the historical monuments (like the Frauenkirche as the most emblematic reconstruction), establishing a false continuity and a problematic pretension of architectural stability. On the other hand the new synagogue represents an attempt which investigates the conflict between stability and fragility, between the permanent and the temporary, the temple and the tabernacle.

在场地倾斜的地形中，一个中央庭院作为犹太教堂和社区中心的各种用途之间的连接元素。物理上的一致性是通过使用连续的材料(预制件混凝土石和砂集料)来保持的。然而，每座建筑都有自己的特色。犹太教堂是一个集中的礼拜和冥想场所，它的结构与易北河有关，成为德累斯顿天际线的一部分。社区中心指的是城市结构，创造了城市中心的新入口。

Inserted in the sloped topography of the site a central courtyard acts as a connecting element between the various uses of the synagogue and the community centre. The physical coherence is maintained by the use of a continious material (precast concrete stones with sand aggregates). Each building however has a character of its own.: The synagogue is a concentrated place of worship and meditation, its structure relating to the Elbe River and becoming part of the Dresden skyline. The community centre refers to the urban fabric and creates a new entrance situation to the centre of the city.

探讨稳定性和脆弱性的含义，犹太教堂建筑的特点是材料二元论：预制混凝土石的整体结构和金属纺织品的内部结构。犹太教堂的扭曲石结构符合场地的几何形状和向东方向的要求。复杂的曲线体积是基于一个简单的，渐变的41个正交层，由120x60x60厘米的元素组成。

Exploring the implications of stabiliy and fragility the architecture of the synagogue is characterized by a material dualism: a monolithic structure of precast concrete stones and an interior structure of metallic textile . The twisting stone structure of the synagogue follows the geometry of the site and the requirement of an orientation towards the east. The complex, curvilinear volume is based on a simple, gradual shift of 41 orthogonal layers, formed by elements of 120x60x60 cm.

与整体结构相比，犹太教堂的内部由光滑的金属纺织品构成。悬挂在混凝土天花板上的网格构成了崇拜的基本空间。黄铜纺织品，与服装制造商一起开发，提供一种特殊的极光。不同大小的木制家具的特点是“帐篷”的内部：阳台，pews，比玛(一个讲台)和东边的托拉神社。中心宗教元素的位置是指并突出了犹太教堂的空间冲突：一个是纵向空间，一个是中心空间。

In contrast to the  monolithic  structure, the interior of the synagogue is framed by a smooth metallic textile. Suspended from a concrete ceiling grid it constitutes the basic space of worship. The brass textile,developped with a clothing manufacturer, provides a specific auratic light. Wooden furniture of differing size characterises the interiror of the „tent“: a balcony, pews, the bima( a lectern) and the Torah shrine in the east. The position of the central religious elements refers and  highlights the spatial conflict of the synagogue: a both longitudinal and central space.
