架构师提供的文本描述。一个土建项目能在上海奉贤区的一个很棒的地方进行，这是非常罕见和值得赞扬的。该遗址位于奉贤区政府所在地南桥镇中心，原为奉贤中医医院。因此，最重要的挑战是城市土地的短缺。

Text description provided by the architects. It is rare and commendable that a civil project could be in a terrific place of Fengxian District in Shanghai. The site on Jianghai Road, which was Fengxian Chinese Medicine Hospital before, is in the center of Nanqiao Town where Fengxian District Government is located. Therefore, the most significant challenge is the shortage of urban land.

然而，高楼绝对不是老年公民大学的最佳形式.我们的团队根据场地独特的景观方向设计了平坦的标准楼层，我们还试图保留一排几十年来生长在现场的大型樟树。

However, high-rise tower is absolutely not the best form of senior-citizen universities. Our team designed flat level standard floors according to the unique landscape orientation of site.  We also tried to keep a row of large camphor trees that have grown on the site for decades.

根据场地的这一特点，主楼分为东楼和西楼，由中庭连接而成。穿过中庭的两个走廊确保流通系统是连续的。保存下来的樟树，以及被铝制穿孔板覆盖的中庭，仍然与东西方建筑的优雅格格不入。

As a response to this character of the site, the main building is divided into east building and west building connected by an atrium. Two corridors across the atrium ensure the circulation system to be continuous. The preserved camphor trees as well as atrium covered by aluminum perforated plates remain at variance with the elegance of east and west buildings.

平面图的原理图设计包括八层平面，没有凹凸形，整体稳定，效果温和。该建筑由东楼和西楼组成，每两层由小内露台连接，构成一个带有悬臂结构的电梯大厅。

The schematic design of plans includes eight flat stories with no concave-convex like form, achieving an overall steady and mild effect. The building is composed of east building and west building, connected by small internal patios every two floors as an elevator hall with cantilevered structure.

除了普通教室外，在高级公民大学，如宴会厅、剧院、书店、演讲厅、大会议室、体育馆等，都需要大量的无障碍空间。

In addition to ordinary classrooms, numbers of large column-free spaces are needed in the senior-citizen university such as ballroom, theatres, bookstore, lecture halls, large conference rooms, gymnasiums, etc.

 Ground Floor Plan

在保证合理的结构模块和流通系统的前提下，规划的原则是“大空间教室被小空间教室包围”。此外，结构布局的原则是“小空间与完整的外部结构框架”，以及“大空间与内折柱”。

On the premise of ensuring reasonable structural module and circulation system, the rule of the plan is “large-space classrooms are surrounded by small-space ones”. Also, the rule of structure layout is “small spaces with complete outer structural frame ” as well as “large space with inner reduced columns”.

建筑的外观是高雅的装饰艺术风格。西面的拱窗、南面的角倒角阳台、阳台的拱门、北面的门廊和中庭两侧的深窗开口，所有这些元素的设计都试图避免流行但“冷”的现代主义。

The appearance of the building is elegant Art Deco style. Arch windows of the west façade, corner chamfered balconies of the south façade, arches of the veranda, north façade, and deep window openings on both sides of the atrium, the designing of all these elements is trying to avoid Modernism which is popular but “cold”.

在为高级人员设计架构时，优雅总是合适的。外墙本来打算用粗糙的瓷砖装饰，但这些瓷砖几乎被列入外墙保温表面建筑的“黑名单”。

Elegance is always appropriate when designing architectures for senior people. The exterior façade was intended to be decorated with rough tiles, but the tiles have almost been “blacklisted” of the exterior thermal insulating surface construction.

仿砖的出现是经过近20次天然石材涂层样品测试的结果。中庭由钢结构和金属波纹穿孔板构成。

The appearance of imitating brick is the result of nearly twenty times of natural stone coating sample testing. The atrium is constructed of steel structure and metal corrugated perforated plate.

它是高雅艺术装饰风格的反面，同时反映了古典与平衡的顺序。发现现代主义的大胆之处的唯一地方是东西方进口六米高的悬臂结构。即使是这样，建筑师仍然小心翼翼地通过悬臂式遮篷顶部的装饰来尊重路易斯·卡恩。

It is the opposite side of the elegant Art Deco style, while reflecting the order of classic and balance at the same time. The only places where reveals the audacity of Modernism, are the over six meters high cantilever structures of east and west entrance. Even so, the architect still carefully pays respect to Louis Kahn by the decorations on the top of cantilevered canopy.
