架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑位于P lsbufjorden大坝的下方，这是一系列水库中的最上面的一座，流入了诺尔的发电站。新的电站从老水坝和15米以下的湖泊之间的高度差产生干净的电力，利用了该结构未被利用的潜力。从可持续的角度来看，优化现有水坝的产出，而不是建立新的水坝或发电厂，是对保护自然及其生境的重要贡献。

Text description provided by the architects. The building is located just below Pålsbufjorden dam, the uppermost of a series of reservoirs funnelling down to the power station at Nore. The new station generates clean power from the height difference between the old dam and the lake 15 meters below, exploiting an unused potential of the structure. From a sustainable point of view, optimising the output of existing dams instead of establishing new dams or power plants is an important contribution to the preservation of nature and its habitats.

发电机室位于530米长的大坝前，是一座独立的建筑，突出了贯穿景观的完整的人形线条的雕塑品质。为了保持和提高工程的现有质量，即形式的坚固性、手段的拘束性和工艺的粗糙性，对工程进行了混凝土的选择。

The generator chamber is situated as a free standing building in front of the 530 meter long dam, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the unbroken man made line through the landscape. The choice of concrete for the project was made in order to maintain and enhance the existing qualities of the situation; the solidity of forms, the restraint of means and the roughness of the craftsmanship.

发电机室直径15米，高度12米。它由15个承载预制混凝土面板组成，堆放在涡轮和发电机周围。这个52吨重的设备是由一个由现场混凝土框架支撑的起重机吊起的。起重机的突出结构被粗糙的喷射混凝土覆盖.没有排水沟；不锈钢型材焊接在混凝土面板上，以防止水进入预制孔，在窗户和通风孔前起到屏蔽作用。屋顶是由预制钢桁架制成的。

The generator chamber has a diameter of 15 meters and a height of 12 meters. It consists of 15 load bearing precast concrete panels stacked around the turbine and generator. This 52 ton equipment is lifted in place by a crane supported by an in situ concrete framework. The protruding structure of the crane is covered in rough spray-on concrete. There are no gutters; stainless steel profiles are welded to the concrete panels to prevent water from entering the precast holes that serve as screens in front of windows and ventilation openings. The roof is made of prefabricated steel trusses.

圆形布局和面板的形状描述了水通过发电机的旋转。投在老水坝上的阴影和建筑物本身表明了太阳的高度和运动。从融化的雪中流下的雨水和水将促进混凝土表面地衣的生长，随着时间的推移，建筑物会发生变化；慢慢地，它就会成为它所处的贫瘠而引人注目的地形的一部分。

The circular layout and the shape of the panels describe the rotation of the water through the generator. The shadows cast onto the old dam and to the building itself indicate the height and the movement of the sun. Rain and water from melting snow running down the walls will enhance growth of lichens on the concrete surfaces, over time transforming the building; slowly making it part of the barren, yet compelling terrain it is situated in.
