架构师提供的文本描述。全新的西士提修道院圣让-德马萨，是为了表达和谐和简单的日常生活的西士提僧侣。这七天的群众都过着他们的生活。按照他们的生活方式，修道院的不同空间似乎逐渐围绕着修道院，最终走向教堂，教堂是这个项目的重点。在建筑的中心，修道院保留了森林的一部分，并允许修道院有一个经过季节的样本。该建筑群半开放的布局表明，最自然的入口，该建筑位于北侧，并通过一条走道。屋顶的延伸，标志着主入口的延伸。在封面下，一座矿物园充当教堂和住宅的附属建筑。

Text description provided by the architects. The entirely new Cistercian Abbey of Saint-Jean-de-Matha was made to express the harmony and simplicity governing the daily lives of the Cistercian monks. The seven daily masses pace their lives. In accordance to their way of life, the abbey’s different spaces seem progressively circling around the cloister and culminate towards the church, the project’s focal point. At the very heart of the building, the cloister preserves a part of the forest and allows the abbey to have a sample of the passing seasons. The complex’s half-open disposition suggests the most natural entrance to the building located on the northern side and accessed by a walkway. The prolonging of the roof covers and signals the main entrance. Under the cover, a mineral garden serves as the church and the housings’ parvis.

圆形设计是在东-西轴线上，由一条走廊穿过，将受限制的寺院区域与公共空间隔开。北面是图书馆，教堂和房屋，而在南部属于修道院大院和修道院周围，所有的功能保留给西士提僧侣。在这条分隔线的西侧，可以找到一个露台，而在对面的东侧则有一个观测台。考虑到遗址的规模，轴线的主要目标是将向南俯瞰悬崖的寺院和向北面向池塘的公共场地分开。在这些花园里，冥想点被放置在那里，让僧侣和他们的主人能够一起祈祷和敬仰片刻，与现场的威严和宁静共生。

The circling design is cut across on an east-west axis by a corridor separating the restricted monastic areas from the public spaces. On the north side lie the library, the church and the housings while in the southern part belong the monastic compound and the cloister around which are located all the functions reserved to the Cistercian monks. On the western side of this separating line, a gazebo can be found while on the opposite eastern side is located an observatory. Considering the site’s scale, the main goal of the axis was to divide the monastic grounds overlooking the cliff to the south and the public grounds facing the pond to the north. In these gardens, meditation spots were placed to allow the monks and their host to take a few moments of reverence and prayer together in symbiosis with the site’s majesty and serenity.
