架构师提供的文本描述。Gerrit Rietveld学院的设计任务包括新建一所中学，为大约1200名学生提供体育设施，并为邻近地区的一小部分社会和商业设施提供体育设施。新建筑位于乌得勒支东侧Tuindorp多叶区。这片土地的边缘是一条公共绿地，一条直通式公路-一条新的平行公路-一条缓慢的交通路线，一处新开发的住宅区，以及一条距离较远的北面一条铁路。

Text description provided by the architects. The design assignment for the Gerrit Rietveld College consists of the new build of a secondary school with sporting facilities for about 1200 pupils, and for a smaller part of social and commercial facilities for the neighbourhood. The new build is situated in the leafy district of Tuindorp, at the eastern side of Utrecht. The plot is bordered by a public greenbelt, a through-road – the Eykmanlaan with a new parallel road – a slow traffic route, a newly to be developed residential district, and to the north at some distance, a railway.

设计的基本形状是一个“连续轮”，中间有一个四合院广场。这个轮子是理想的形式灵活性在学校，在其中的功能可以‘移动’。此外，这种形状使人们能够在有限的地块上建造一座建筑，尽管如此，它还是提供了充足的日光和新鲜空气，而且还为学生们留下了足够的空间，为他们提供高效和有用的室外空间。一般来说，建筑质量将是三层高，但在北侧和埃克曼兰一侧将有四层高。

The basic shape of the design is a ‘continuous wheel’, with a courtyard square in the centre. This wheel is the ideal form for flexibility in the school, in which functions can 'move on'. In addition, this shape makes it possible to realise a building on a limited plot that nevertheless provides much daylight and fresh air, and besides that leaves enough room for efficient and useful outdoor spaces for the students. In general, the building mass will be three floors high, but on the north side and the side of the Eykmanlaan it will be four floors high.

尽管地块的面积有限，但该计划提供了多种多样的外部空间：美丽的栗树下有一个室外空间，南侧有一个与通往庭院的地下通道相连的广场，庭院本身就是地块的中心，还有两个可以通过楼梯从法院到达的露台。

Despite the limited size of the plot, the plan offers a diverse range of outer spaces: an outdoor spot under the beautiful old chestnut trees, on the south side a square with a connection to the underpass leading to the courtyard, the court itself as the heart of the plot, and two terraces that can be reached from the court by stairs.

主要入口和黄昏入口位于Eykmanlaan的平行道路上；这也是停车场和公共交通站。在北侧的建筑下面有一个从自行车棚直接进入的入口：学生的入口。除了这些正式入口外，还有一个通过法院的非正式入口。这个设计是以这样一种方式设计的：每个入口都通向中庭的接待处：学院的中心。这个空间分为三层。在这里，每个域都可以区分自己，这是所有不同用户相遇的地方。大礼堂直接位于宫廷，与中庭相一致，它也是心的一部分。

The main and evening entrances are situated at the de parallel road of the Eykmanlaan; this is also the parking zone and the public transport stop. There is direct entrance from the bicycle shed under the building at the northern side: the students’ entrance. In addition to these formal entrances, there is also an informal entrance, via the court. The design has been created in such a way that every entrance leads to the reception desk in the atrium: the heart of the college. This space is divided over three floors. Here, every domain can distinguish itself, and this is the place where all the various users meet each other. Directly situated at the court, in line with the atrium, is the auditorium, which also forms part of the heart.

特定领域的精确性与艺术性

The specific domains Exact and Art & Culture are also situated on the ground floor, which, just as the domain Sport, can be closed off and hired out. On the first floor the more generic domains can be found such as Mankind & Society, Languages and HAVO/VWO 1,2 (senior general secondary education/pre-university education). These domains use the same sort of rooms and can mutually interchange. The domains Sport & Exercise and MAVO (general secondary education) are located on the second floor. All these domains can be reached from the atrium, the main stairwell, without crossing other domains.

总结：该设计提供了高度的灵活性。这种设计提供了建筑物的灵活性：建筑物的扩展和收缩；领域的灵活性：建筑物内领域的扩展和收缩；空间的灵活性：改变空间的使用和移动墙壁；以及功能的灵活性：改变例如办公室的住宿功能。

To conclude: the design offers a high level of flexibility. This design provides building flexibility: expansion and shrinkage of the building; domain flexibility: expansion and shrinkage of the domains inside the building; space flexibility: changing the use of spaces and moving the walls; and functional flexibility: changing the function of the accommodation of, for instance, offices.
