Text description provided by the architects. Design Challenge:

设计和创造一种环境，以促进一种创造性文化，使来自世界各地不同学科的科学家和学者定期聚会，为共同事业作出贡献。设计一个高度灵活的智囊团环境，每天在同一地点可能发生几次变化。

Design and create an environment to facilitate a culture of creativity where scientists and academics from disparate disciplines from around the world meet periodically to contribute to a common cause. Design a hyper-flexible think tank environment that might morph several times a day in the same place

什么样的设计环境将提高参与者的舒适度，使他们能够放下禁忌，进行合作？

What kind of a designed environment will increase the participants’ comfort level, enabling them to drop inhibitions and collaborate?

解决改造现有的托尔曼-巴赫尔大厦，一个使命式的结构，或增加一个新的结构，似乎不适当的场地地区，回应了规模和风格的巨大差异，在使命风格的平房在一边，和现代主义，多层学术建筑在另一边。位于校园中心的地点对改善校园的城市化做出了重大贡献。

Address the adaptation of the existing Tolman-Bacher House, a Mission-style structure or the addition of a new structure on a seemingly inadequate site area Respond to dramatic differences in scale and style between Mission-style bungalow on one side, and modernist, multistory academic building on the other. Location of site in the heart of the campus mandates a significant contribution to improve the campus’ urbanism

新旧关系为庭院创造了一个独特的机会，它利用了南加州的气候，并通过独特的室内-室外连接扩展了建筑的使用范围。

The relationship of old and new creates a unique opportunity for a courtyard that takes advantage of the Southern California climate and extends the use of the buildings through a unique indoor-outdoor connection.

据确定，重建后的托尔曼-巴赫尔大厦，即使命式建筑，不能充分满足该组织的需要，因此，毗邻、未开发的大片土地成为新现代主义建筑设计的起点。

It was determined that the restored Tolman-Bacher House, the Mission-style structure, could not adequately meet the needs of the organization so the adjacent, undeveloped lot of land became the starting point for the design of a new Modernist structure.

抛开的空间不是最初简报的一部分，这些空间被用来解决问题，在校园中心建立一个圣地，并推动校园总体规划建筑和组织使命的重要城市议程，共谋创造一个促进个人亲和力的场所。

Throwaway spaces that were not part of the original brief were leveraged to solve the problem, to create a sanctum in the heart of the campus and promote the significant urban agenda of the campus master plan Architecture and organizational mission conspire to create a place that is a catalyst to encourage affinity amongst individuals.

对目的亲和力是由建筑对环境的亲和力所创造的，是对现有结构和现有户外景观的联想，是伴随着新的结构而产生和体验的。

Affinity to the purpose is created by the affinity to the environment Architecturally, an association to the existing structure and the existing outdoor landscape is always present and experienced with the new structure.
