Beukenhof Auditorium and Crematorium Scheme 1
Schiedam, The Netherlands
This award winning venue comprising an undulating, seamed copper roof and double-curved enclosure, Asymptote's design for the Beukenhof Auditorium and Crematorium in Schiedam, The Netherlands exploits the country's rich tradition of brick architecture through a thoroughly contemporary formal expression. The building's interior spaces are imbued with a subtly transforming quality of light that works in concert with the shifting architectural form. On the exterior, the architecture is another landscape element that bridges over the adjacent canal.
