架构师提供的文本描述。自由公园坐落在俯瞰茨瓦内的一座著名的“小山”上，其愿景是成为“人类和自由的主要国家和国际象征”。其使命是“提供一个具有开拓性和增强能力的遗产目的地，挑战游客反思我们的过去，改善我们的现状，并在我们作为一个统一的国家的未来基础上再接再厉”。(1)这一使命的核心是通过利用历史、文化和精神来实现和解和国家建设。土著知识和知识系统(IKS)对整个项目产生了影响，包括指导建筑和景观干预措施。

Text description provided by the architects. Situated on a prominent "koppie" (hill) overlooking Tshwane, Freedom Park’s vision is to become “a leading national and international icon of humanity and freedom.” Its Mission is “to provide a pioneering and empowering heritage destination that challenges visitors to reflect upon our past, improve our present and build on our future as a united nation.”(1) At the core of this mission is reconciliation and nation building through the use of history, culture and spirituality. Indigenous Knowledge and Knowledge systems (IKS) are brought to bear on the project as a whole including guiding the architectural and landscape interventions.

博物馆和档案项目(Hp-KoiSan代表“梦想”)博物馆的概念来源于一个传统的治疗者‘治疗’花园，在北开普省库鲁曼的一个宅基地上看到。这个概念演变成巨大的巨石一样的卷，其中包含故事空间。

Museum and Archives project (hap - Koi San for "The Dream") The concept for the museum came from a traditional healer’s ‘healing’ garden seen at a homestead in Kuruman in the Northern Cape. The concept evolved into the creating of large boulder-like volumes that contain the story-telling spaces.

这些巨石像岩石露头一样种在Salvokop山的底部。墙壁和屋顶都被铜板覆盖，随着时间的推移，“露头”将生锈成绿色，并与自然景观融合。

The boulders are planted at the base of the Salvokop hill like a rock outcrop. With walls and roof all clad in copper sheeting, the ‘outcrop’ will, with time, rust to green and merge with the natural landscape.

博物馆是自由公园的主要入口，也是通往自由公园的道路之旅的起点。“巨石”聚集游客，带领他们沿着小径到达山顶的纪念馆。

The museum forms the primary entrance to Freedom Park and forms the start of the pathway journey into Freedom Park. The ‘boulders’ collect visitors and lead them along the path to the memorial at the top of the hill.

博物馆的内部空间设计得像洞穴一样，带有自然光，用来戏剧化建筑物的大体积和“露头”形式。

The interior spaces of the museum are designed with a cave–like quality with natural light used to dramatize the large volumes and ‘outcrop’ forms of the buildings.
