Memorial Brumadinho in Brazil

照明デザインが導く記憶と追悼の建築体験

ブラジル・ミナスジェライス州ブルマジーニョに同国史上最悪とされる人道的悲劇から6年を経て、「Memorial Brumadinho（ブルマジーニョ・メモリアル）」が一般公開された。照明計画を手がけたのは、ブラジル・ベロオリゾンチを拠点とするAtiaîa Lighting Design。光による表現が高く評価され、同プロジェクトは2025年のLIT Awardsで「Architectural Lighting Design of the Year」を受賞した。

The path is a 230m cleavage, a literal and symbolic rift that cuts through the terrain to point towards the exact site of the dam failure. Ipê flowers, symbol of life and resilience, remember the flame of candle lights and evoke a procession.

このメモリアルは2019年1月25日に発生したVale S.A.社のCórrego do Feijão（コヘーゴ・ド・フェジャオン）鉱山のダム決壊事故で命を落とした272人の犠牲者を悼み、その記憶を未来へとつなぐ象徴的な修復の場である。事故は12万立方メートルにおよぶ鉱滓（こうさい）を放出し、26の自治体に甚大な被害をもたらした。施設はエントランス・パビリオン、小道や屋外空間、彫刻モニュメント、追悼の水盤、展示室「記憶」と「証言」、そして犠牲者の遺体片を安置するための空間で構成されている。

: Entrance pavilion: with its twisted and fragmented form, symbolizes the shock of the collapse and the overwhelming force of the mud. Walls and eaves of concrete are highlighted, visually marking the beginning of this solemn space. Photo credit: Pedro Mascaro

: Inside the entrance hall, a crystal druse honors the jewels, the way the victims’ families remember their lost loved ones. The darkness, brushed by small skylights with integrated projectors, invites to the reflection on the shock of the overwhelming force of the mud. Photo credit: Pedro Mascaro

: The Meditation Space, a large multipurpose hall, opens onto the landscape. Its activities can extend to the outdoor amphitheater, reinforcing the collective and communal character of the project. Different scenes provide various atmospheres, from direct to indirect lighting. Photo credit: Pedro Mascaro

: An example of lighting and signage integration. Made of Corten steel, the signage mimics the shapes, views, and angles of the architectural design, showing the way almost silently. Photo credit: Mariana Novaes

: External living area, between the entrance Pavilion and the Rift. The openings allow views to the Cafeteria and part of the Meditation Space. Grazing fixtures uplight concrete walls and eaves. The druse’s reflecting pool is not illuminated but reflects its surroundings. Photo credit: Pedro Mascaro

: “What memory loves remains eternal. I love you with memory, imperishable.” Adélia Prado’s poem plan grazing lights presents the low relief of signage letters with light and shadow effects, also highlighting texture and color of the concrete mixed with pigment of the mining waste.

: At the Rift, the names of each victim are engraved on the walls together with fiber optics terminals shaped-like ipê flowers, which symbolize life and resilience. Photo credit: Leo Drumond/Nitro

: The ipê flowers guide the path downwards the viewpoint. The lighting effect is subtle but enough to highlight the jagged walls. Photo credit: Leo Drumond/Nitro

照明は没入感と感受性を備えた敬意ある雰囲気を醸成するよう設計された。詩の一節、水晶の群体、272輪のイペの花、湖面に浮かぶ272の星々（失われた「宝石」）、鉱滓の顔料を混ぜ込んだコンクリート壁を伝う涙を象った彫刻など、象徴的な要素を照らし出すことで、犠牲者の記憶を浮かび上がらせている。光はまた、訪れる人びとに寄り添い、感じ、考え、内面を変容させるための手段として機能している。旅路の道標として、光と影の境界を際立たせ、空間に深みと静けさを与えている。

: Three spaces have been carved into the earth at the midpoint of the rift. To the left, Memory, where the families honour their loved ones. To the right, Testimonial, where the facts of the tragedy are displayed, and a sacred space that holds the victims’ recovered remains. Photo credit: Pedro Mascaro

: Fiber optic endlight terminals with lenses are integrated into the concrete for uplighting the waterfall and also integrated into the sculpture nose for highlighting the tears. The water streams are illuminated with a sidelight hose type fiber optic. Photo credit: Pedro Mascaro

: From the sculpture’s geometric eyes, tears flow continually., forming a veil over the concrete walls. The water, a symbol of memory and purification, runs through the space in two streams until it reaches the reflecting pool under the observation deck, where mourning meets contemplation.

: At the viewpoint, the valley landscape unfolds a surface that has been hit and stained by mud. The lake reflects the sky during the day, and at night it pays a final tribute to the victims, since the mining landscape cannot be the only one still shining on the horizon.

: At the project’s midway point, a squared sculpture rises like a head suspended over the path, representing humanity in its failure. The map of Córrego do Feijão is printed on its surface. It looks at the site of collapse, where two victims have not yet to been found. Photo credit: Pedro Mascaro

: At the bottom of the lake, 272 fiber optic terminals were installed, programmed to oscillate to create a starry sky effect. A map of the celestial sphere at 12:01 AM on January 25, 2019, the date of the dam burst, is projected onto the lakebed. Light is presence, it is life. Photo credit: Pedro Mascaro

: Aerial view: from the left to the right are the Entrance Pavilion, the outdoor living area, the Poem, the Rift, the Monument, the vewpoint and the lake. Memory and Testimonial are below the grove, nearby the squared Sculpture. Photo credit: Jomar Bragança

Memorial Brumadinhoは「忘却への抵抗」として存在している。このような非人道的で環境破壊的な惨事を二度と繰り返さぬよう、未来への問いを突きつけている。
