架构师提供的文本描述。启春天主教会位于湖北省祁春县红石头村，是一个非常偏远的地方，风景秀丽。它被群山环绕，在一个湖泊的半岛上(实际上是一个有合格水的渔场)，教堂的总覆盖面积是700平方米。费用非常有限，几乎所有的资金都来自政府。这是因为祁春县有一座解放前由意大利传教士建造的寺院，解放后由政府收集，作为士兵疗养院，后来改建为当地医院，文革期间都在这里举行谴责会议。

Text description provided by the architects. Qichun Catholic Church is located in Hongshitou Village, Qichun County, Hubei Province, which is a very remote place but with beautiful scenery. It's surrounded by mountains and on a peninsula of a lake (it's actually a fishery farm with qualified water), and the total covered area of the church is 700 square meters. The cost is very limited and almost all the fund is from the government. It is because that Qichun County had a monastery which was built by Italian missionaries before liberation, and it was collected by the government and served as a soldier sanatorium after liberation, and then it was converted into a local hospital, and denouncement meetings were all held here during the Cultural Revolution.

现在修道院和传教士建造的房屋的总体格局仍在这里，但破旧不堪。当人们走近这些房子时，一股恶臭的气味涌上心头，这让他们不敢靠近。也许是因为文革期间这里发生了太多不公正的事情。政府原打算将原址归还教堂，但牧师对修缮和未来管理的巨额资金感到害怕，于是选择了一个风景秀丽的齐春县红石头村。

Now the overall pattern of the monastery and the houses built by missioners remain here，but dilapidated. A puff of smell with evilness comes to people when they get close to these houses, which makes them afraid to approach. Maybe it is because too many unjust cases happened here during the Cultural Revolution. The government had intended to return the former site to the church; however the priest was scared of the substantial amount of funds for the refurbishment and future management, so he chose a place with beautiful scenery called Hongshitou Village in Qichun County.

这座建筑的功能包括神殿、牧师和修女宿舍，以及会议室、厨房、餐厅等辅助功能。所有辅助室都面向湖泊景观，神的主殿是由一圈螺旋曲线墙构成的空间序列：弯曲的走廊进入连接辅助空间的庙宇前厅，神的主庙和内院落，前殿是空间、人和景观之间的缓冲地带，通向神的主庙。

The functions of this building include the main temple of God, the dormitory of the priest and nuns, and auxiliary functions like the meeting room, kitchen, dining room, etc. , all the auxiliary rooms face the lake landscape, the main temple of God is a spatial sequence formed by a circle of spiral curve wall: the curved corridor enters into the antechamber of the temple which connects auxiliary space, the main temple of God and the inner yard, the antechamber is the buffer zone among space, people and sight, and leads to the main temple of the God.

 Floor Plan

神的主殿是一个相对封闭的椭圆形双墙空间，这两堵墙包围并构成了储藏室和忏悔室。虽然周围没有窗户，但双面墙的内墙延伸到一些最顶端的弧形外墙，与外墙的顶线重合。这样，在顶部形成了七个透光窗口.在“圣经”中，“7”有着特殊的含义，如上帝“7天内造人”；耶稣要求门徒原谅他人“七十七次”；还有启示录中的角度，即打开“七本书”等。

The main temple of God is a relatively closed oval double wall space，and the two walls encircle and compose the storage space and the confession room. Although there are no windows around, the interior wall of the double walls extends to some topmost arc-shaped exterior walls and coincides with the exterior wall top line. Thus, seven light-taking windows on the top are formed. In the Bible, "7" has special meaning, such as God “Create man in 7 days”; Jesus asked his disciples to forgive others for "seventy seven times"; and also the angles who in Revelation shall open "seven books", etc.

在相应的采光弧壁的外墙上有方形的洞穴，植物可以在其中生长。建筑物全部漆成白色，而白色不是特殊的意图。这一方面是由于成本的限制，另一方面也有施工的技术限制。而白色涂料是沟通后最合适的选择.最后，白色的建筑在繁茂的环境中散发出宁静和独特的气息。

There are square caves on the outer wall of the corresponding light-taking arc wall, in which plants can be grown. The building all paints white, and white color is not a special intention. On the one hand, it is due to the cost limit; on the other hand, it has the technology limit of construction as well. And the white-color paint is the most suitable choice after communication. Finally, the white-painted building exudes tranquility and peculiarity in the lush environment.
