这座建起来的城镇内的场地被许多小巷包围着.我们想要做的是在镇上建立一个中心，与这些小巷和房屋相关。

The site within the built-up town is surrounded by a number of alleys. What we tried to do was to create the center in the town, relevant to these alleys and houses.

我们把社区中心划分成一个“会议室”和“其他功能”，这样我们就有了一个社区中心，它看起来像两座小房子，彼此相邻，而不是有一座大建筑，它会显得太突出了。通过分离，我们能够缩小每座建筑的规模，并使建筑物与周围环境协调一致。

We divided the community center into a “meeting room” and “other functions” so that we have a commmunity center that looks like two small houses next to each other, in stead of having one big building that would stand out too much. By separating, we were able to downsize each building and harmonize the buildings with their surroundings.

两座建筑物之间有一扇门。从入口处可以看到玻璃制作的连接通道后面的花园-这景象给你的印象和周围的小巷一样。从两座建筑之间的空隙中获得的额外收益是大量的苏打水。

Between two buildings is a door. From the entrance, the garden behind the glass-made connecting passage can be seen through-the sight gives you the same impression as the alleys around. Significant amount of sunight was additional gain from the gap between two buildings.

这些建筑物是故意设计的，比他们附近的房子小，然后在这个密集的社区里创造了空间和小巷。其结果是规模适中但具有象征意义的社区中心，当地居民将长期感受到对该中心的关注。

The buildings were deliberately designed smaller than houses in their neighborhood, which then created space and alleys in the densely-built community. The result was modest but symbolic community center, to which local people would feel attachement for long.
