《魔山》和《挪威的森林》都提到了康復中心，比如：“一旦進入這里，便懶得出去，或者說害怕出去。”“四下里萬籟無聲，窗外夜幕沉沉，全無一點光亮。平日那般動人的星光，今晚也由于陰天而概不露面。這里的人，每一個都對星星了如指掌，告訴我哪個是處女座，哪個是射手座。……”

但是這座療養院，積極并富有力度，一掃文學作品慣常描述的陰霾形象。無論從形象上，還是從策略上：公共設施與社區共享。非常棒的醫療建筑。

Park
In the undulating forest landscape around Arnhem in the eastern part of the Netherlands,

revalidation centre ‘Groot Klimmendaal’ can be found standing as a quiet deer in between trees.

From a small footprint, the building gradually fans out towards the top and cantilevers out over

the surrounding terrain. Despite its size, the brown-golden anodised aluminium facade allows the

nearly 14.000sqm building to blend in with its natural surroundings. Full height glazing along the

central space connecting the various different internal elements of the building ensures an almost

seamless continuity between interior and exterior. The meandering facade in the restaurant results

in a building in between trees and invites the forest inside the building. The surrounding nature

has a strong visual and tangible presence everywhere in the building; it allows the user to

revalidate whilst walking.

‘Groot Klimmendaal’ is part of a masterplan also designed by Koen van Velsen. The masterplan

envisages the area, largely built upon by one and two-storey buildings, to be gradually transformed

into a public park landscape.

Diversity
The arrangement of the programme is clear. Below are offices, above are the clinical area’s and on

the roof a Ronald McDonald House with its own identity. The double-height ground floor at entrance

level facilitates the special elements of the programme such as a sports facility, fitness,

swimming pool, restaurant and theatre. Not only patients but also family members and members of the

local community (schools, theatre groups etc) use these facilities on a regular basis. As a result,

both patient and building are placed at the centre of the community.

Healthcare
The care concept is based on the idea that a positive and stimulating environment increases the

well-being of patients and has a beneficial effect on their revalidation process. The design

ambition was not to create a centre with the appearance of a health building but a building as a

part of its surroundings and the community.

Revalidation centre ‘Groot Klimmendaal’ radiates self-confidence and self-control. The welcoming

and open environment offers a natural habitat for care but at the same time allows plenty of

opportunity for other activities. The building is the result of an intensive collaboration between

architect Koen van Velsen and the users of the building. For example, a shallow timber staircase

runs the full internal height of the building and is typical for the new integral way of working.

It facilitates a direct route between the different floors but also enables a variety of

alternative routes roaming the building and thus forms an invitation to undertake physical exercise.

A combination of large and small voids and light wells ensure a spatial connection between

different levels and allow natural daylight deep in the heart of the 30metres wide building.

Interplay of striking but subtle colours and direct and indirect (artificial) lighting enlivens the

interior.

Sustainable
The use of energy is amongst others reduced by the compact design of the building and the design of

the mechanical and electrical installations. Most notably the thermal storage (heat and cold

storage) contributes to the reduction of energy consumption. The choice of selecting sustainable

building materials and materials requiring little maintenance for floor finishes, ceilings and

facade cladding result in a building which can be easily maintained and with a long lifespan. The

building has been custom made for its users but the design offers at the same time opportunities

for different ways of using the building and the inevitable transformations of different

departments within the client’s organization.

Revalidation centre “Groot Klimmendaal’ is a coming together of both complexity and simplicity

with attention for physical, practical and social details. Transparency, continuity, layering,

diversity, the play of light and shadow and the experience of nature are all ingredients of this

stimulating environment.

Dutch architect Koen van Velsen has been selected for his Rehabilitation Centre Groot Klimmendaal

in the Netherlands as one of the six finalists for the European Union Prize for Contemporary

Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2011.

The Mies van der Rohe Award is the highest European distinction in architecture. The award is

granted every two years by the European Union and was first awarded in 1987. The main objectives of

the award are to distinguish and reward excellence in architecture and to draw attention to the

major contribution by European professionals to the development of new ideas and technologies. The

award was previously awarded to a.o. Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Alvaro Siza and Norman Foster.

Koen van Velsen’s Rehabilitation Centre Groot Klimmendaal was selected from 340 European

nominations. The jury includes Mohsen Mostafav (chair), Ole Bouman, Anne Lacaton, Annette Gigon,

Yvonne Farrell, Zhu Pei, Tarald Lundevall and Lluis Hortet. The winner of the award will be

announced on 20 June 2011.

公園
在荷蘭東部阿納姆的森林中，一塊安靜的用地上屹立著這座療養院。雖然這個14000平方米的建筑占地面積不大，但是通過懸挑獲得了足夠的空間，鋁金色的外皮與自然環境也相當搭。通透的玻璃與環境的無縫連接。森林觸手可及無處不在，對建筑中的人形成強烈吸引。
療養院也是公園總體規劃的一部分。一二層可以理解成一個公共景觀。

多樣性
上層是療養區，屋頂是麥當勞叔叔之家。體育設施及健身，泳池位于入口處，不光為病人使用，也讓當地人們方便的使用。

醫療保健
創造積極的環境刺激患者，對他們造成有益的影響。這里不光漂亮的建筑，也是環境的一部分，是社區的一個中心。

建筑散發著自信和高效的氣質。這是一個友好，開放，可在原生自然環境中活動的療養之地。這建立在建筑師與客戶的良好溝通。比如一個木樓梯設置，形成了新的動線，有利于不同樓層間的交通，讓在建筑里漫游有更多的選擇性，同時可以達到鍛煉的效果。

天井和各種挑探形成多重空間，并使得自然光深入建筑30米進深。微妙，醒目的色彩和光照讓空間異常活潑。

可持續發展
機電設備設計緊湊，降低能耗。采用可持續材料，以及長壽材料減少維修費用。雖然大樓為用戶精心打量，但是依然具有靈活性，可以轉型作為其它用途。

建筑錯綜復雜，但簡單明了的將物理，社會，使用等要素組合。透明性，連續性，層次感，多樣性，光影，大自然體驗，共同構成了這個充滿力度的環境。
