圓形的生命蒸汽桑拿館由赫爾辛基的JKMM建筑事務所和 Sauna on Fire 團隊共同設計，建于2019火人節期間，作為一件解構藝術裝置來為游客提供一系列桑拿體驗。

“Sauna”（桑拿）是唯一被英語引入的芬蘭語單詞。它大概是芬蘭語中描述沙漠炎熱狀況時，最常使用的對比。在這片擁有550萬居民和超過320萬個桑拿房的土地上，芬蘭人對桑拿房的使用具有深刻的哲學含義，奇怪、直接，日復一日。桑拿的傳統起源于芬蘭人與大自然、森林、湖泊幾個世紀以來一直不變的緊密關系，如今它已在芬蘭的社會中根深蒂固。即使在今天，桑拿浴仍然是所有重要生活事件的核心。它象征了友愛、團結和集體社會領域。在社交方面外，桑拿房也是沐浴、排毒的場所，還提供私密空間以精神凈化、安寧冥想。桑拿房是讓身心共同蛻變的場所。

Sauna on Fire 是一個跨界團隊，由藝術家、思想家、學者和火人組成。Marcus Kujala, Hannu Rytky, P?ivi Aaltio 和 Samppa Lappalainen 這三位建筑師兼 JKMM 建筑事務所CEO通過與 Sauna on Fire 團隊合作，為火人節的獨特參與文化作出了貢獻。他們共同設計的的“生命蒸汽”木亭體現了芬蘭桑拿房的典型物理要素。這是一棟人體尺度下的木建筑，具有極簡主義的美學，專注于周圍的自然光影，并回應了這個炎熱沙漠環境中的重要聚會。

Circle-shaped Steam of Life Pavilion, co-designed by JKMM architects and Sauna on Fire collective, will be built in Burning Man festival to offer the sequenced sauna experience, as a deconstructed art installation.

“Sauna” is the only Finnish word used in the English language and it is probably one of the most common comparisons used in Finland to describe desert hot conditions. In a land of 5,5 million inhabitants and over 3,2 million saunas, the Finns’ approach to the sauna is profoundly philosophical and strangely straightforward and day-to-day. Deeply rooted in Finnish society,the tradition of sauna stems from the Finnish people’s closeness to nature and the country’s forests and lakes and has remained unchanged throughout the centuries. Even today, the sauna is at centre stage of all important events in life. It symbolises camaraderie, solidarity and the collective social domain. In addition to these social aspects, the sauna is a place for bathing and detoxing as well as private spiritual purging and peaceful meditation. A place of both physical and spiritual metamorphosis.

Marcus Kujala, Hannu Rytky, P?ivi Aaltio and Samppa Lappalainen, three architects and the CEO of JKMM Architects will contribute to the unique participatory culture of Burning Man by joining the Sauna on Fire -collective, an interdisciplinery group of artists, thinkers, scholars and Burners with an ambition and curiosity for co-creation, volunteerism, positive spirit and inclusion of participants with diverse backgrounds;-by introducing the essence of Finnish mindscape in the physical form of a sauna pavilion at the Burning Man society in 2019.

在火人節，一條通道引導游客在圓形桑拿館中游覽。游客從嚴酷的沙漠光中進入建筑，穿過昏暗的通道，走向蒸汽房，芬蘭桑拿房的中心。這里設置有長木凳和 “kiuas” 爐。享受過桑拿浴，參觀者進入一個光線柔和的空間，通向桑拿館的中庭院落。雖然沒有湖泊、海洋或大雪來舒緩身心，中庭院子提供了一片陰涼的綠洲，可以讓游客沉靜下來，冥想放松。就像芬蘭的桑拿房一樣，生命蒸汽桑拿館將以同樣永恒、難忘的方式捕捉人們共同的理想。

JKMM 的 Samppa Lappalainen 描述這個過程時說道，“ 我們付出了巨大的努力，使桑拿館能夠實際打包、運輸，并最終在現場建造。這也是我們試圖減少建筑組件數的原因。我們基本上使用了兩種尺寸的膠合板，三種長度的木條，整個桑拿館可以被收納進半個集裝箱內。”

“Steam of Life”, the co-created timber pavilion, embodies the typical physical elements of a Finnish sauna. It is a human scale wooden building, minimalistic in its aesthetic and focused on embracing ambient natural light and shade, in response to what will be a major gathering within a hot desert environment. A passageway will guide visitors to circulate through the round shaped sauna pavilion. Stepping in from the harsh desert light, visitors enter a low-lit passage that leads to the steam room, the heart of a Finnish Sauna, with wooden benches and the “kiuas”stove. After enjoying a sauna, visitors will enter a softly-lit space opening onto the atrium yard in the middle of the pavilion. In the absence of a lake, sea or a pile of snow to dip into, the atrium yard offers a shaded oasis for cooling down and meditative relaxing.

Just like saunas in Finland, Steam of Life -pavilion is about capturing the same ideal of a shared sense of humanity in a memorable and timeless way.
