架构师提供的文本描述。位于哥伦比亚特区8区历史街区的中心，圣伊丽莎白东区正在成为一个可行的混合用途，混合收入社区。圣伊丽莎白医院(St.Elizabeth)曾是一家为美军提供心理保健服务的医院，该医院可以追溯到内战时期，但它的校园已经退役，并从联邦政府转移到哥伦比亚特区。如今，这片180英亩的土地为公共、私人和机构投资提供了一个环境.随着国土安全部(DHS)计划的合并和西校区1.4万多名员工的进驻，圣伊丽莎白东区的重建已成为实现该地区培育创新型经济目标的一个关键项目。

Text description provided by the architects. Located at the center of the District of Columbia’s historic neighborhoods in Ward 8, Saint Elizabeths East is on its way to becoming a viable mixed-use, mixed-income community. Once the site of St. Elizabeths Hospital which provided mental health care to the US military dating back to the Civil War, the campus has been decommissioned and transferred from the federal government to the District of Columbia. Today the 180-acre site provides a setting for public, private, and institutional investment. With the planned consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and location of over 14,000 employees on the West Campus, the redevelopment of St Elizabeths East has become a critical project in realizing the District’s goals of cultivating an innovation-based economy.

新的G8WAYDC，以前被称为圣伊丽莎白东网关展馆，是一个多用途的结构，为休闲就餐，农贸市场和其他社区，文化和艺术活动提供场所。展馆位于校园两英亩的地块上，营造了一个立竿见影的、可见的、令人欢迎的景观，尤其是从有利的角度，反映了来自社区不同地区的人们的现有和预期的流动。形成一个戏剧性的广场背景，展馆的主要区域是一个24英尺高的空间，充满模块化的摊位，方便食品卡车进入现场。

The new G8WAY DC, formerly known as Saint Elizabeths East Gateway Pavilion, is a multi-purpose structure providing a venue for casual dining, a farmers’ market and other community, cultural and arts events. The Pavilion, spread over a two-acre plot of the campus, creates an instantly iconic, visible and welcoming view into the site, particularly from the vantage points that reflect the existing and anticipated movements of people from different areas of the neighborhood. Forming a dramatic backdrop to the plaza, the main area of the pavilion is a 24-foot high space filled with modular booths convenient to where food trucks access the site.

在一个高度宣传的设计竞赛中，该展馆的重点是结构和土地的无缝结合。这一“土地”的方法是从建筑项目中汲取线索，该项目以提供新鲜农产品、当地制造的工艺品和各种食品卡车供应商为当地居民服务为中心。可持续性是项目的组成部分，从一开始就为设计提供了信息。展馆采用雨水收集(即现场蓄水池捕捉径流并满足整个场地的灌溉需求)；景观设计提供抗旱种植；屋顶种植减少了热岛效应，减少了对封闭部分机械系统的需求；机械系统严重依赖自然通风。

Selected in a highly publicized design competition, the pavilion focuses on the seamless integration of the structure and the land. This “of the land” approach takes its cues from the architectural program which is centered on the provision of fresh produce, locally made crafts and a variety of food truck vendors to serve the local population. Sustainability is integral to the project, informing the design from the outset. The pavilion employs rainwater harvesting (i.e. an on-site cistern captures runoff and supplies the entire site’s irrigation demand); the landscape design provides for drought resistant plantings; the roof plantings reduce the heat island effect which reduce demand on mechanical systems in the enclosed portion; and, the mechanical systems rely heavily on natural ventilation.

该概念包含了所需的功能，同时提供了灵活性和自发性。双层设计允许移动和活动在整个网站在不同的水平。地面层鼓励从场地最突出的边缘连接起来，创建三个不同的区域，并将项目的城市面与更田园的校园环境连接起来。屋顶水平的通道允许行人通过沿着普遍可到达的屋顶水平无缝地上移和在工地上移动，从而获得对邻里的新视角。这一高架景观包括一个密集的绿色屋顶，可以进行多种活动，包括下午音乐会和社区活动。

The concept incorporates the desired functionality while at the same time providing for flexibility and spontaneity. The dual-level design allows for movement and activities throughout the site at different levels. The ground level encourages easy connections from the most prominent edges of the site, creating three distinct zones, and connecting the urban face of the project to the more pastoral campus setting. The roof level access allows pedestrians to gain a new perspective on the neighborhood by moving seamlessly up and across the site along the universally accessible roof level. This elevated landscape includes an intensive green roof where multiple activities can occur, including afternoon concerts and community events.

一旦只有少数人无法进入，G8WayDC的设计将向所有人开放，欢迎人们聚集在一个屋檐下吃饭，学习和享受乐趣。

Once inaccessible to all but a few, the design of G8Way DC will open the site to all, welcoming people to come together under one roof to eat, to learn and to have fun.
