架构师提供的文本描述。2006年，位于巴黎郊区的邦迪市启动了一项城市重建方案，该方案适用于Ourcq运河以外的北部居民区。这座建筑所在的地区叫努埃凯莱，是二战后重建的典型地区。1959年至1964年期间为满足住房需求而建造的2 023个单位。它们是从2层到13层的高楼。然而，他们的年龄并没有很好的老化，也不再对当今的城市风险做出反应。居民生活环境的任何改善都意味着对这些社会住房街区的城市结构进行升级、去密集化、开放和一体化。

Text description provided by the architects. In 2006, the city of Bondy, in the suburbs of Paris, launched an urban renewal programme that applies to its northern neighbourhoods, beyond the Ourcq Canal. The area called the Noue Caillet where this building is located is typical of the post-World War II reconstruction. 2,023 flats where built between 1959 and 1964 in order to address the need for housing. They were high-rises that ranged from 2 to 13 floors. Yet they haven’t aged well and no longer respond to today’s urban stakes. Any improvement of the living environment of the inhabitants means an upgrading, a de-densification, an opening-up and integration to the urban fabric of these social housing neighbourhoods.

努埃凯莱是一个内陆地区，公共空间退化，但它有优质的设施，如学校，邮局，日托…。为了使其更具吸引力，该市决定拆除362套社会公寓。盖琳设计的50层楼

The Noue Caillet is a landlocked neighbourhood with degraded public spaces, yet it has quality facilities such as schools, a post office, day nurseries... In order to make it more attractive, the city has decided to pull down 362 social flats. The 50-flats building designed by Guérin & Pedroza replaces a 13-storey high-rise with 270 flats. As mentioned in the programme and in order to de-densify the area, the building covers only half of the former built-up area. The design of the main façades facing east and west present a division and various sequences that suggest that the building is a compound of residencies and not just a piling-up of boxes. Being a low-rise with only 6 floors produces the same effect. The building being set up on a north/south axis grants a maximum sunshine for each of all the flats which great quality lies in the fact that they opens in two or three directions.

为响应方案的各种要求，建筑师盖琳

To respond to various requests of the programme, the architects Guérin & Pedroza have opted for an architecture that is simple in that they went for a well-tried bioclimatic design. Passers-by and people living in the neighbourhood enjoy the sight of façades covered with a plain coating and wood, a soothing material, like the ground floor gardens may be. The sliding shutters animates the four sides of the building, depending on the weather and the time of the day.

这座建筑物被看作是一座分为三层的住宅。每个部分都有自己的通道和电梯。每层都有两四个公寓。5间卧室的公寓都是位于地面上的双人间，因此每个公寓都有一个花园，这是节目中的要求。在另一层，我们会把不同类型的单位组合起来，以配合所有类型的居民。每套公寓都有自己的阳台、露台或花园，将居住空间延伸到外部。

The building has been tought as a residence divided into three. Each part has its own access and elevator. On each floor, two or four flats take place. The 5-bedroom flats are duplexes located on the ground so each has a garden as required in the programme. On the other floors, different kinds of flats are put together in order to mix all types of inhabitants. Each flat has its own balcony, terrace or garden that extend the living space to the exterior.

该建筑遵循绿色建筑标准英国广播公司(BBC)的标准，其年能耗为45千瓦时/平方米，比标牌预期的水平低5千瓦。建筑结构紧凑，阳光充足，节能效果好，保证了居民的健康。外保温可减少任何热损失。按照生物气候的概念，所有的公寓都可以自然交叉通风.为了获得更好的夏季舒适，阳台带来了阴凉。木制的滑动百叶窗也是如此。在阳光下，平房是免费的。这些环境保护装置由34个太阳能集热器(75平方米)安装在屋顶上。它们产生热水。至于谁能享受园艺，他们可以利用屋顶收集的雨水。

The building follows the norm of the green building standard called the BBC (low energy building) and has a 45 kWh/m2/year, that is 5 kW less that the level expected by the label. The building is compact and let the sunshine in so that its energy efficiency is good and ensures the inhabitants’ well-being. The exterior insulation reduces any thermal loss. Following a bioclimatic concept, all the flats can be naturally cross-ventilated. For a better summer comfort, the balconies bring shade and coolness. So do the wooden sliding shutters. In the sun heats the flats for free. These environnemental devices are completed with 34 solar thermal collectors (75 square metres) placed on the roof. They produce hot water. And for who can enjoy gardening, they can use the rainwater collected on the roofs.
