架构师提供的文本描述。目前，中国农村医疗卫生面临着诸多挑战。与城市地区的机构相比，农村机构总体上是不利的。政府补贴以及增加医生和医院收入也会导致收费过高和不必要的治疗和检查。由香港慈善机构“农村综合发展研究所”委托，该项目包括设计中国第一家慈善医院，同时帮助培养人们对农村医疗保健的新态度。

Text description provided by the architects. Rural healthcare in China currently faces a multitude of challenges. Rural institutions are generally unfavourable compared to those in urban locales. Government subsidies and the raising of doctor and hospital incomes also lead to overcharging and needless treatments and exams. Commissioned by a Hong Kong charity, Institute for Integrated Rural Development, this project involves designing China’s first charitable hospital whilst helping foster a new attitude toward rural healthcare.

我们的任务是与湖南省安东村的慈善机构和政府密切合作，发展一座能够支持许多农村医院管理和护理制度改革的模范农村医疗机构。这包括提供现有机构缺乏的基本必需品，其中一些简单如候机室。此外，鉴于中国的大多数机构，如学校和医院，都被隔离起来，并按照包含的计划进行管理，我们有兴趣重新引入医院，使之成为一个公共友好型设施。

Working closely with the charity and government in Angdong Village of Hunan Province, our task was to develop a model rural health care building capable of supporting the many progressive reforms on rural hospital management and care giving. This includes providing basic necessities absent in current establishments, some as simple as waiting rooms. Additionally, seeing that most institutions in China, such as schools and hospitals, are walled off and managed as contained programs, we were interested in re-introducing the hospital as a publicly-friendly facility.

医院的程序是从传统的形式重新配置的.设计从一个简单的策略开始，提供一个连续的坡道进入所有楼层。一个宽的坡道允许座位和改善循环。这也创造了一个大的中央庭院空间开放供公众使用。在地面层，庭院提供额外的台阶作为座位，并作为一个室外等候区。材料包括回收的传统砖，形成外部外观，和定制设计的混凝土屏蔽块，侧翼的内部螺旋通道。虽然从远处看，它们看起来像普通的类型，这些定制块是在一个灵活的乳胶模铸造。由此产生的庭院表现出柔和而流畅的品质，整天投下变幻莫测的阴影。

The program of a hospital is re-configured from its conventional form. The design begins with a simple strategy to provide a continuous ramp access to all floors. A wide ramp allows for seating and improves circulation. This also creates a large central courtyard space open for public use. At the ground level, the courtyard provides additional steps for seating and serves as an outdoor waiting area. Materials consist of both recycled traditional bricks, which form the exterior façade, and custom designed concrete screen blocks, which flank the interior spiral passageway. Though from a distance they appear like the common type, these custom blocks are cast in a flexible latex mold. The resulting courtyard exhibits a soft and smoothly changing quality, casting variable shadows throughout the day.
