新的加法由两个主要的元素组成，它们互相忽略。第一层是明亮的白色半透明皮肤，包裹着西南面。这堵高度清晰可见的弯曲墙与现有的砖墙形成了鲜明对比，为病人和游客提供了一个发光的灯塔。第二个，一个很大的悬臂体积，在半透明的墙后面滑动。这种形式创造了一个有盖的落地，并成为主要的紧急路标的背景，指示来自远近的游客。树冠的轮廓在半透明的墙壁后面的阴影中被看到，把游客从接待区的入口拉到等候的空间。(鼓掌)

The new addition consists of two primary elements that slip past one another. The first, a bright white translucent skin, wraps the southwest façade.  The highly visible curved wall contrasts with the existing brick forms and acts as a glowing beacon for patients and visitors. The second, a large cantilevered volume, slips behind the translucent wall. This form creates a covered drop-off and becomes the backdrop for the primary emergency signage directing visitors from near and far.  The profile of the canopy is seen in shadow behind the translucent wall, pulling visitors from the entrance to the reception area and into the waiting space.

一旦进入，西南半透明墙工作，最大限度的自然照明和减少热量。视觉玻璃是战略性的位置，连接等待空间和外部种植园，为游客提供自然景观。当一个人从入口进入等待空间时，弯曲的墙壁将游客吸引到扩大的座位区域。

Once inside, the southwest translucent wall works to maximize natural lighting and minimize heat gain. Vision glazing is strategically located to connect waiting spaces to exterior planters, providing visitors with views of nature. As one moves from the entry into the waiting space, the curved wall draws visitors into the expanded seating area.
