架构师提供的文本描述。作为天空公司对更好的学校推广和学院培训项目的信念之家，“更美好建筑”有着明确的社会理念，围绕着社区焦点、教育和超级灵活性。Arup Associates在三个月内完成了该项目，并在一年内完成了该项目。在英国的第一个多层木材商业办公室，它展示了使用场外预制和木材建设，以实现一个独特的工作场所在一半的正常时间框架。

Text description provided by the architects. Conceived as a home for Sky’s Believe in Better schools outreach and academy training programmes, the Believe in Better Building has a clear social idea based around community focus, education, and super-flexibility.   Arup Associates took the project from inception to site in three months and the project was completed in one year. The first multi-storey timber commercial office in the UK, it demonstrates the use of offsite prefabrication and timber construction to achieve a unique workplace in half the normal time-frame.

简要说明的一部分是，这些空间应该具有长期的适应性，而主要空间的构想都不应考虑固定的用途：隔断、滑动和展开，将不断变化的创意思考室和聚会空间相互连接，作为突破、集群、交融、非正式会议和学校聚会角色扮演的场所。一个大的、开放的计划，无柱空间可容纳大型会议和聚会，房间间隔的设计是为了实现与相邻房间中潜在的多媒体教学相称的增强隔音功能。

Part of the brief was that the spaces should be adaptable over the long-term and none of the main spaces were conceived with fixed uses in mind: partitions slide and unfold to interconnect a shifting landscape of creative thinking rooms and party spaces alternating as venues for breakout, clusters, mingling, informal meeting and school party role playing.   A large, open-plan, column free space accommodates large meetings and gatherings, and room partitions are designed to achieve enhanced acoustic separation commensurate with the potential multi-media teaching in adjacent rooms.

一个开放的楼梯从三层高的中庭上升到屋顶露台和餐厅。第一层和第二层的楼梯宽度增加，以纳入突破空间，不仅提供流通，并提供跨楼层和广场的视觉交流，并创造了一个社会和互动的重点建筑。

An open staircase rises through the triple height atrium to the rooftop terrace and restaurant. At first and second floors the stair width is increased to incorporate breakout spaces, providing not only circulation, and visual communication across the floors and out to the plaza, but creates a social and interactive focus to the building.

这座建筑是可持续设计的典范，致力于创造特定、整体、综合的条件，以优化天空公司员工和游客的健康和福祉：优质的日照、空气质量、自然材料的选择，包括广泛使用天然木材，以及一种适合用户需求的设计。

The building is an exemplar of sustainable design, focused on creating specific, holistic, integrated conditions for optimising the health and well-being of Sky’s staff and visitors: quality day-lighting, air quality, natural material selection including the extensive use of natural wood, and a design that adapts itself to the user’s requirements.

该建筑是一个鼓舞人心的创意和学习的地方，一个展示和公众面对天空，以及一个诱人的多功能设施，供工作人员和游客使用。

This building is an inspiring place for creativity and learning, a showcase and public face to Sky as well as an inviting multi-functional amenity for the staff and visitors to Sky to use.
