架构师提供的文本描述。色彩生态学将公共功能带到了达特福德一个被忽视的角落，充当中央公园重新构想的生态岛的快乐管理者。木结构是一个社区艺术工作室，观鸟窝藏，公园掩体都被卷成一体。有一个半室外瓦片教室和存储空间在地面层，有一个封闭的房间楼上，可以看到达伦特河和周围的树木。在楼上，各种大小的百叶窗允许活动，从隐藏的野生动物观看和绘画，到公共活动，溢出到公园。

Text description provided by the architects. Ecology of Colour brings public function to a neglected corner of Dartford by acting as a jolly custodian for the re-imagined Ecology Island in Central Park. The timber structure is a community arts studio, bird-watching hide, and park shelter all rolled into one. There is a semi- outdoor tiled classroom and storage space at ground level with an enclosed room upstairs offering views of the River Darent and surrounding trees. On the upper floor, shutters of various sizes allow for activities ranging from hidden wildlife watching and drawing, to public events that spill out into the park.

工作室编织来自Artland的简介是通过强调社区参与来开发有意义的教育资源的设计。该遗址是一个好奇的乡村口袋在一个城市的背景下，位于一个野生的，树木繁茂的半岛的顶端，在北肯特镇的中心。

Studio Weave's brief from Artlands was to develop designs for a meaningful educational resource through placing emphasis on community engagement. The site is a curious rural pocket within an urban context, located at the tip of a wild, wooded peninsula in the heart of the North Kent town.

两个相互交织的循环的产生指导了这个项目：提取彩色染料并将它们用于工艺品的过程，这些植物吸引了包括昆虫和鸟类在内的野生动物。自2012年9月完工以来，这座建筑已成为游客探索和了解植物、昆虫和鸟类各种绚丽色彩、提取天然彩色染料的过程以及染料在工艺和建筑中的应用的资源。

The creation of two intertwined cycles has guided the project: the process of extracting colour dyes and using them for crafts, and the wildlife these plants attract including insects and birds. Since its completion in September 2012, the building has become a resource for visitors to explore and learn about plants, insects and birds in all their splendid colour, the process involved in extracting natural colour dyes, and the applications of dyes in craft and architecture.

彩色生态建筑是一个简陋的建设过程，只需两个月的时间，就完成了GB45K的预算。英国木材是主要的建筑材料，落叶松用于结构框架，而覆层是由雪松。平面直径4.5米×7.5米，檐高5米，山脊高7米。该结构简单，没有玻璃窗或电源服务，提供可从外部进入的存储空间，可以存储各种用户的设备和材料。地面的覆盖空间也可用作干燥区域(供染色车间使用)。

The building of the Ecology of Colour was a humble construction process that took just two months on site and completed to a budget of £45k. British timber is the predominant building material with Larch used for the structural frame while the cladding is made from Cedar. It measures 4.5 m by 7.5 m in plan and reaches 5m to the eaves and 7m to the ridge in height. The simple structure has no glass windows or mains services and offers storage space accessible from outside where various users' equipment and materials can be stored. The covered space at ground level can also be used as a drying area (for dyeing workshops).

雪松覆层上印有一种叫做“欢乐”的图案，是由平面设计师Nous Vous设计的。在安装之前，Nous Vous与当地居民和艺术家团队一起经营了一系列作坊，对构成外部覆盖层的144个面板进行油漆。

The Cedar cladding is stained with a pattern called ‘Joy’, designed by graphic designers Nous Vous. Prior to its installation, Nous Vous ran a series of workshops with a team of local residents and artists to paint all of the 144 panels, which form the external cladding.

设计结构中最雄心勃勃的一个方面是上一层的铰链“喙”开口，在这里，东立面上的整个墙通过一个简单的滑轮系统一举打开。当喙张开时，它的效果就像在树冠间的一间树屋里，可以看到河水的漩涡。

One of the most ambitious aspects of the design's structure is the hinged 'beak' opening on the upper floor, where the entire wall on the east elevation opens in one fell swoop through a simple pulley system. When the beak is open it gives the effect of being up in a treehouse among the canopy, with views of the river swirling past.
