架构师提供的文本描述。位于南非德班的充满活力的市中心，距离沃里克三角几步之遥，靠近几个解放遗址，如Juma Musjid(清真寺)Denis Hurley中心，被认为是一个提升社区和为社区服务的当代设施-不分背景、信仰或国籍，是所有人的欢迎避难所。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in the vibrant city centre of Durban, South Africa, a few steps from Warwick Triangle and close to several liberation heritage sites such as the Juma Musjid (Mosque) the Denis Hurley Centre was conceived as a contemporary facility to uplift and serve the community - a welcoming refuge to all, regardless of background, faith or nationality.

这座建筑的多样性和多功能反映了环境及其使用者的复杂性、活力和活力-给最需要帮助的人带来了希望和帮助，并为一位伟大的大主教建造了一座活生生的纪念碑。

The building’s diverse and multifunctional character reflects the complexity, vibrancy and dynamism of the context and its users - giving hope and aid to those most in need and a living memorial in honour of a great Archbishop.

丹尼斯·赫利中心(Denis Hurley Centre)坐落在一个小而复杂的场地上，呈三角形，有0m的建筑线，毗邻一个遗产图标-艾曼纽尔大教堂(Emmanuel CatheChurch)。所有这些因素都提供了设计灵感，导致了一座对其环境、气候和社区高度敏感的当代建筑。

The Denis Hurley Centre is on a small and complex site, triangular in shape with 0m building lines and adjacent to a heritage icon - Emmanuel Cathedral.  All of these factors provided design inspiration, resulting in a contemporary building that is highly responsive to its context, climate and community.

利用三角形场地的性质，在集中的中庭周围创建相互连接的空间，该建筑的设计加强了Denis Hurley中心的目标，即建立一个向所有人开放的综合社区空间。

Utilising the nature of the triangular site to create interconnected spaces around a centralised atrium, the design of the building reinforces the Denis Hurley Centre’s aim for an integrated community space, open to all.

中庭为建筑物内的所有循环空间带来自然光，从而改善其空间品质。它通过向大多数内部空间提供自然通风，充当建筑物的肺。

The atrium brings natural light to all circulation spaces within the building, thereby improving their spatial quality.  It serves as the lung of the building by providing natural ventilation to most internal spaces.

建筑的围护结构被设计成一个透气的皮肤，最大限度地利用自然光和自然通风，同时保护它免受阳光直接穿透。

The building envelope has been designed to act as a breathable skin, maximising natural light and natural ventilation, whilst protecting it from direct sun penetration.

夸大外墙的厚度，为狭长的窗户制造深凹，可以在东面、北面和西面进行被动的太阳能控制-导致全年建筑凉爽，机械气候控制最小。

Exaggerating the thickness of the exterior walls, to create a deep recess for long narrow windows, allows for passive solar control along the eastern, northern and western facades - resulting in a cool building throughout the year with minimal mechanical climate control.

南面最大限度地利用中心附近的埃曼纽尔大教堂的视野。高反光的幕墙创造了微妙的大教堂的倒影，把当代建筑和传统建筑和谐地结合在一起。

The southern façade maximises the view of the adjacent Emmanuel Cathedral from inside the centre. The highly reflective curtain wall creates subtle reflections of the Cathedral, bringing contemporary and heritage architecture together in harmony.

建筑围护结构是根据建筑环境，特别是伊曼纽尔大教堂的巨大邻近性，以清晰的垂直节奏来调节的。

The building envelope is modulated with a clear vertical rhythm in response to the building context and in particular, to the monumental proximity of Emmanuel Cathedral.
