架构师提供的文本描述。广西高级中心建筑从项目背后的人文角度出发。这个项目意味着为退休人员创造一个空间，因为他们大部分时间都是在文化革命中度过的。尽管受到历史影响，在文化大革命中创造的“共同生活”始终是当时的回忆。不确定时代的归属感对现代性的孤立和冷漠提出了批评。

Text description provided by the architects. The architecture of senior center of Guangxi departs from the humanistic aspect behind the project. The project means to create a space for the retirees, who spent most of their youth in culture revolution. Despite historic impacts, the “communal life” created in culture revolution has always been the recollection of the time. The sense of belonging in the era of uncertainty offers a critic to the isolation and apathy of modernity.

我们的项目试图唤起父母和后代的归属感。农业是“公共生活”的主题，自然之地是他们集体记忆的基础。我们的相似空间是通过操纵地面来构建的。

Our project tries to evoke that sense of belonging for our parents’ generation and the generations to come. With farming being the theme in “communal life”, the nature ground is where their collective memory based upon. Our space of resemblance is constructed through the manipulation of ground.

在城市规模上，该遗址位于城市化扩张的边缘。它面临着保存自然的更高的基准和新的发展的更低的基准。我们的项目通过一系列移动的水平板块在地形中创造出两者之间的过渡，来调和地形的极端。

In the urban scale, the site situates at the expending edge of urbanization. It confronts a higher datum of the preserved nature and a lower datum of the new developments. Our project reconciles the extremes in topography by creating a transition between the two through a series of shifting horizontal plates.

在建筑尺度上，我们将地形图重新解释为一个多层次的地面平面，地下空间折叠成街道层，垂直延伸到二层。当地面不断地折叠起来时，它就形成了上层。

In the architecture scale, we reinterpret the topography as a multi-level ground plane, with the underground space folds into the street level, and extend vertically into the second floor. As the ground plane keeps folding up, it forms the upper stories.

我们使用木纹铝百叶窗系统，将激烈的景观带到内部，作为对本土竹框架类型的回应。

We use a wood grain aluminum louver system to bring the drastic landscape to the interior, as a way to respond to the indigenous bamboo framing typology.
