架构师提供的文本描述。这份简报一开始就要求一栋宽松的建筑，可以容纳公寓和办公室/工作室，不设立柱楼层。有足够的时间来调查背景和一些可能的解决方案，一座替换的建筑将坐落在一个C11石灰岩诺曼修道院的边界内，但已经消失了。一个人能够整合、提炼并创造新的背景感，而不是现在由C20后期的抄袭所主导的背景感。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief began with a requirement for a loose fit building able to accommodate apartments and offices/studios across column free floors. Enough time was available to investigate context and a number of possible solutions for a replacement building that would sit within the all but vanished boundaries of an C11th limestone Norman abbey. One able to integrate, extract and perhaps make new a broader and better sense of context than that now dominated by late C20th pastiche.

最初由乔丹·布里塞特男爵建造的修道院被扩建和改建，直到C16的解体通过细分和转换成新的新教男爵的大房子而逐渐侵蚀。奥利弗·克伦威尔(OliverCromwell)在修复前用一套新房子取代了他们，这使得他们进一步细分为较小的租房，这些房产由C 19世纪的马克思和列宁短暂居住。最后，可耻的是，一间家具销售室在失火前占据了当时仍然完好的修道院厨房和餐厅，70年代只留下了几块石头和道路布局，作为对修道院飞地的记忆。

Originally built by Baron Jordan Briset, the abbey was expanded and remodelled until its C16th dissolution precipitated a gradual erosion through subdivision and conversion into grand houses for the newly protestant barons. Oliver Cromwell replacing them with a new home on the Close before the restoration saw yet further subdivision into smaller rented properties that by the C19th briefly housed Marx and Lenin. Lastly and ignominiously a furniture sales room occupied the then still intact abbey kitchens and dining hall before fire and the 1970’s left only a few stones and the road layout as a memory of the abbey enclave.

正如诺曼人发现并引入这个国家的那样，石灰石在从采石场保持新鲜湿润时，仍然足够柔软，在为坚固的防御工事钙化之前更容易雕刻，最初有助于在受雇于宗教和国家建筑之前成功地建立征服。可以说，为了更好地风化、防火和结构完整性，这种将材料和结构结合起来以帮助推动和形成建筑的知识和技能，随着框架上覆盖层的普遍存在而有所丧失。

As the Normans discovered and introduced to this country, limestone, when kept freshly wet from the quarry remains soft enough to more easily carve before calcifying for strong fortifications, initially helpful in successfully establishing conquests before being employed for religious and buildings of state. For arguably better weathering, fire and structural integrity that knowledge and skill of combining material and structure to help drive and give form to the architecture has somewhat been lost with the ubiquitous layering of cladding over frame.

使用采石场发现的饰面，部分雕刻和废弃的石柱，揭示了修道院和马赛克地板15克莱肯威尔在最初暗示当地考古学，但也提出了我们的建筑遗产和责任在一个更广泛的文化问题。提醒我们，建筑环境的素养是建立在理解和传播所有建筑语言词汇的所有现有材料的结构和审美品质内在的诗意可能性的基础上的。

Using quarry found finishes, part carved and abandoned stone columns, revealed cloisters and mosaic floors 15 Clerkenwell Close at first alludes to a local archaeology, but also raises questions on our architectural heritage and its responsibility within a broader culture. Reminding us the literacy of the built environment is based on understanding and disseminating through building the poetic possibilities inherent within the structural and aesthetic qualities of all materials available that make up the vocabulary of all architectural languages.
