架构师提供的文本描述。通过运用当代建筑来激发过去和现在之间的行动和反应，整座建筑-包括胡胡伊和前洛雷特修道院等地标建筑-的改造符合这一进化原则。

Text description provided by the architects. By provoking action and reaction between past in present through the application of contemporary architecture, the remodelling of this entire block of buildings – including landmark buildings such as Hooghuys and the former Lorette convent – adheres to this evolutionary principle.

新的开发项目，梅拉诺，位于Hooghuys和Sweert之间。这座公寓楼故意向Sweert倾斜，距离Hooghuys很远，一楼的悬臂造成了一种特殊的张力。白砖建筑是对部分石灰清洗，部分灰泥正面胡霍和经典的统一山墙斯威尔特的回应。

The new development, Melano, is located between Hooghuys and Sweert. This apartment building deliberately leans towards Sweert and distances from Hooghuys, with a specific tension created by the cantilever on the first floor. The white brick architecture is a response to the partly lime-washed, partly plastered facade of Hooghuys and the classic uniform gables of Sweert.

被覆盖的露台创造了一个对话与两个维度的历史正面的Drabstraat。反过来，综合垂直照明条不仅引起人们对当代立面的关注，因此，庆祝现代生活，它们也照亮了街道，从而抛弃了与公共空间互动的当代理念。

Covered terraces create a dialogue with the two-dimensionality of the historic facades on Drabstraat. In turn, integrated vertical lighting strips not only draw attention to the contemporary facade and, therefore, celebrate modern life, they also light the street and thereby dispense a contemporary idea of interaction with the public space.

这座大楼也是重建工地的关键。由于水在景观中蜿蜒而行，这一工程致力于可穿透性。这座新建筑通过与胡胡伊的一个凸起的接触点，为通往后院的一条小巷提供了通道。

This building is also key to the restructuring of the site. As water finds its meandering way through the landscape, this project is devoted to the penetrable. The new building provides passage, by means of a raised point of contact with Hooghuys, for an alley that runs into the rear courtyard.

这个重新设计的花园是对以前规模相当大的胡霍伊花园的一种认可，这座花园到达了Begijnenstraat，因此提供了进入市场广场的通道。三个世纪后，这片绿色植物区被L形的洛雷特修道院和女子学校从Begijnenstraat关闭。新哥特式建筑突出了封闭和孤立的宗教社区对一个城镇的影响。

The re-purposed garden is a nod to the formerly sizeable Hooghuys garden, which reached Begijnenstraat and therefore provided access to the market square. Three centuries later, however, this area of greenery was closed off from Begijnenstraat by the L-shaped Lorette convent and girls’ school. The Neo-Gothic building highlights the impact of a closed and withdrawn religious community on a town.

这堵巨大的墙现在地面上被冲破，可以通过一个半公共区域进入鱼市，这个半公共区域继承了曾经是胡霍伊花园的操场。城市居民被吸引到一个由小巷和广场组成的地方。

This voluminous wall is now broken through on the ground level to allow access to the Fish Market through a semi-public area that succeeds the playground that was once the Hooghuys garden. City dwellers are drawn into a place of alleys and squares.
