架构师提供的文本描述。经过三十年的空缺，作为PietBloms世界著名建筑的一部分的超级立方体在鹿特丹获得了它的第一个真正的目的地。在“出埃及记”基金会的指导下，在拘留的最后阶段，有20名罪犯居住在立方体上。

自1982年完工以来，超级立方体大部分都是空置的，建筑的某些部分甚至还没有完全完工。据建筑师Sander van Schaik和Maarten Polkamp说，这是可以解释的：“这栋建筑很暗，很快就暖和了起来，两层之间没有任何关系。”这种新的功能也不是理想的环境，在这种情况下，透明性、社会控制和促进其居民之间的相遇是重新融合取得成功的关键条件。

Since its completion in 1982 the Supercube has been mostly vacant, some parts of the building weren’t even fully completed. According to the architects, Sander van Schaik and Maarten Polkamp, this is explicable: ‘the building was dark, it warmed up quickly and there was no relation whatsoever between the floors’. Not the ideal circumstances for the new function either, where transparancy, social control and facilitating encounters between its inhabitants are vital conditions for the succes of re-integration.

楼层间的不连续性、单调的垂直推进和中间层的黑暗和不便被认为是原建筑中的三个问题。为了执行提议的方案，一个二十室的住宅综合体，这些问题是通过一个单一的干预措施来解决的。为此，一个长方形的竖井插入到建筑物的中心，在整个高度形成3x3米的空隙。

The discontinuity between floors, the tedious vertical progress and the dark, inconvenient middle floor are considered the three problematic issues in the original building. To carry out the proposed program, a twenty-room residence complex, these issues are tackled by means of a single intervention. To this end, a rectangular shaft is inserted into the heart of the building, creating a void of 3x3 meters throughout the entire height.

这一空白提高了建筑的透明度和连贯性，并增加了从顶端到底层的大量阳光。此外，元素在热调节建筑物中起作用；由新竖井产生的“烟囱效应”意味着底层的冷空气上升并冷却立方体的较温暖的顶端。井壁内设有接待、储藏室、洗衣/浴室、储藏室和厨房等功能。此外，这“服务墙”支持楼梯，最终通过地板。

The void raises the transparency and coherence of the building and adds a great deal of sunlight from the tip to the underlying levels. In addition, the element plays a part in thermally regulating the building; the ‘chimney effect’ created by the new shaft, means cool air from the underlying floors rises up and cools the warmer tip of the cube. Several functions such as reception, pantry, laundry / bathrooms, storage and kitchen are located inside the shaft wall. Furthermore, this ‘service wall’ supports the stairs that wind up through the floors.

随着附近的StayokHostel在立方体建筑群的另一部分实现，个人建筑已经升级了标志性的和世界著名的立方体建筑群的一部分。把这一新的功能放在一个像大楼一样的第三层社区中是一个新兴的企业，但预计Exodus基金会及其居民将对整个建筑群的气氛产生积极的影响，社会控制和监督也将增加。出埃及人基金会、普通住宅居民、居民和周围环境中的公司之间的合作正在逐步形成。

With the realisation of the nearby Stayokay Hostel in another part of the cube complex, Personal Architecture already upgraded a part of the iconic and world famous cube complex. Placing this new function within a thight community like the cubecomplex was a dearing entrerprise but it is expected that the Exodus foundation and its inhabitants will have a positive influence on the atmosphere of the total complex and that the social control and supervision will increase. Cooperations between the Exodus foundation, the inhabitants of the regular dwellings, volounteers and the companies in the surroundings are gradually taking shape.
