架构师提供的文本描述。纽约大学的学术和精神生活中心将来自不同宗教背景的学生和学者聚集在一起，形成了一个多信仰、多功能的纽约大学校园。这一雄心勃勃的项目，最近于2012年1月完成，提供了多个教派的神圣空间，共享在一个单一的设施内的多种信仰。

Text description provided by the architects. The Center for Academic and Spiritual Life at New York University brings together students and scholars from a wide variety of religious backgrounds into one multi-faith and multi-function building on the NYU campus. This ambitious project, recently completed in January, 2012, provides multi-denominational sacred spaces to be shared by a multiplicity of faiths within a single facility.

由于这座建筑的目的是为纽约大学校园内数十家服务不足的宗教组织提供住所，所以没有任何一种宗教的形象在视觉上占主导地位。巧合的是，在只有50英尺宽的北面，它的任务是展示这座建筑的精神和建筑表现，而不会在村庄或华盛顿广场公园(Washington Square Park)造成专横的侵扰。因此，这栋建筑的正面被赋予了解决城市问题的任务。建筑表达和编程标识。一种由穿孔层合石板组成的有机图案被层叠在窗户上，这些石板有5/8“厚，30”宽和40“高，并由四个小钉组成预制幕墙。皮肤和核心的逻辑顺序之间的对齐和错位是由整天居住在大楼里的用户激活的。

Because the building is intended to provide a home for the dozens of underserved religious organizations on the NYU campus no one particular religion’s iconography should be visually dominant.  Coincidentally, at just 50 feet wide the north façade is tasked with the responsibility of projecting the spiritual and architectural expression of this building without being an overbearing intrusion in the village or on Washington Square Park.  The facade of this building was thus tasked with resolving the urban concerns, architectural expression and programmatic identity.  An organic pattern of perforated laminated stone panels are layered on top of windows resolved to program arrangements.  These stone panels are just over 5/8” thick, 30” wide and 40” tall, and are held by four small pegs integrated into the pre-fabricated curtain wall.  Alignments and mis-alignments between logical orders of skin and core are activated by users inhabiting the building throughout the day.

这座包容和诱人的建筑为整个校园社区提供教室、会议室、办公室和音乐练习设施。独特的全球会议中心旨在汇集来自纽约大学世界各地校园的学生和教员，并结合最新的多媒体系统为这一对话提供基础设施。

The inclusive and inviting building serves the entire campus community with classrooms, meeting rooms, offices, and music practice facilities. The unique Global Conference Center is designed to bring together students and faculty from NYU’s campuses around the world and incorporates state of the art multimedia systems to provide the infrastructure for this dialog.

该项目位于纽约市华盛顿广场公园的南侧，位置清晰可见。当从北边接近时，该遗址就在第五大道的轴线上，通过华盛顿纪念拱门的视野构成了它的框架。该项目代表了纽约大学的卓越设计计划，并获得了LEED黄金评级。

The project is located in a highly visible location on the south side of Washington Square Park in New York City. When approaching from the north, the site is directly on axis with 5th Avenue and is framed by the view through the Washington Memorial Arch. The project represents New York University’s design excellence initiative and achieved a LEED Gold rating.
