架构师提供的文本描述。在洛林自然公园的中心，圣吉纳维韦教堂可以通过靠近默斯河边的远足小径找到，这是一个自然的地方，森林仍然是这里的审美环境。

Text description provided by the architects. At the heart of the Natural Park of Lorraine, the Sainte-Genevieve chapel can be found through the hiking trails near riverside of Meuse, a natural site where the forest remains as the aesthetic environment.

该项目旨在为徒步旅行者提供住所，并为科特省圣莫里斯市举办的夏季活动提供一个时尚场所。

主要的设计目的是修改/锐化/升级，而不是彻底改变其自然环境中的教堂，因此这个地方重新发现了它的灵魂。另一个设计目的是提供一个机会，在封闭的范围内提供各种活动。

The main design purpose is to amend/sharpen/upgrade rather than drastically transform the chapel in its natural environment, so the place re-discovers its soul. The other design purpose is to give an opportunity for providing various activities within the closed & sheltered spaces. Exhibitions, reading, performance, or just simply refuge opened to hikers to provide temporary shelter, which the chapel can easily adapt on the demand.

设计的目的是保持礼拜堂的轮廓，并通过简单木制框架的乘法来扩展它的形状。它被理解为“盒子里的盒子”，由精细的木制框架组成，预制，由环保的当地材料建造。

The design intends to maintain the profile of the chapel and extend out its shape through multiplication of the simple wooden frame. Comprehended as a "box in box", it consists of fine wooden frames, pre-fabricated, constructed from environmental friendly local materials.

清除不必要的额外元素，礼拜堂保持其原有的外观和可识别的形状。这是通过将框架木结构延伸到原始的神圣空间之外，与自然的木质环境-周围的森林-相互连接而得到加强。

Cleared of unnecessary additional elements, the chapel retains its original aspect and recognizable shape. This is strengthened by extending the framed wooden structure beyond the original sacred space, inter-connecting with the natural wooden environment - the forest around.

这个想法是用一种新的、密集的、重复的木结构来取代现有的结构(被火损坏)。这是一个很好的基础，很容易适应每个模块及其目的。室内木架的节奏感表现在屋顶上的大板条上。

The idea is to replace the existing structure (damaged by fire) with a new dense and repetitive wooden frame. This was a great base which easily adapted itself to each module and its purpose. The rhythm of the interior wooden frames is shown by large battens covering the roof.

一个古老的渲染弧的内部形式是通过增加更多的强度，通过交叉细梁，形成一个强大的视觉透视图和良好的声学条件。原有的石墙和砖墙被保留和翻新。

The internal form of an ancient rendered arc was created by adding further intensity by crossing fine beams, imposing a strong visual perspective and excellent acoustic conditions. The original stone and brick walls were retained and renovated.

所选择的材料，其规模和密度，很容易融入森林。这些大横梁模仿树木的枝条，同时又与它们的规律性形成对比。随着时间的推移，铜膜逐渐变成灰色，并逐渐消失在祭坛的釉面和有色部分旁边，成为框架的焦点。

The chosen materials, their scale and density, integrate very easily into the forest. The large beams imitate the branches of trees whilst contrasting with their regularity. The copper membrane becomes grey with time and slowly disappears next to the glazed and coloured part of the altar, which becomes the focal point of the frame.

在森林中长大的小教堂是一个茧，在那里你可以逃离徒步旅行的小径。回到童年，那时我们有一种简单和终极存在的感觉。一个平静的地方观察和冥想，礼拜堂提供这一简单的存在和诗意的美学，同时设置在自然景观。

Raised in the forest, the chapel is a cocoon where you escape the hiking trail. Travelling back to childhood, when we had the feeling of a simple and ultimate being. A calm place of observation and meditation, the chapel offers this piece of simple being and poetic aesthetics whilst set in the natural landscape.
