架构师提供的文本描述。迈克尔·W·福利尼斯建筑师(MWFA)设计了一个鼓舞人心的保健中心，重点是病人的经验和可持续性。这座获奖的建筑-设计为LEED黄金认证-是美学、效率和敏感性的优雅平衡。这座建筑由两个巨大的矩形体积组成，它由板形混凝土和浇铸混凝土组合而成，正面有玻璃、百叶窗和轻型货架。两个不同的卷是由一个玻璃盒连接在一起，创造了一个巨大的中庭沐浴在自然光。透明和功能的要求，以及早期加州现代主义的美学，在被动式太阳能设计、建筑表皮的玻璃和混凝土、内部暴露的钢铁以及内外扫视线等方面都非常明显。

Text description provided by the architects. Michael W. Folonis Architects (MWFA) designed an inspiring healthcare center with a focus on patient experience and sustainability. The award-winning building—slated for LEED Gold certification—is an elegant balance of aesthetics, efficiency, and sensitivity. The massing of the building consists of two great rectangular volumes in a combination of boardformed and cast-in-place concrete, fronted with glass, louvers, and light shelves. The two distinct volumes are joined by a glass box creating a grand atrium bathed in natural light. The imperatives of transparency and function, and the aesthetic of early California Modernism, are all richly evident in the passive solar design, the building skin’s glass and concrete, the interior’s exposed steel, and sweeping sight lines both inside out and outside in.

演讲是大胆的，但这里有经验丰富、成熟的平衡：一个严肃的语气，相当于一个领先的医疗中心的使命，被赋予了一个坚实的身体轻盈的形式。该建筑物部署其美学，材料和功能，以满足病人和家庭，医生，护士，工作人员和学生的综合需要。该设计还向游客传达了部分信息，建议在白天使用透明和开放的指路明灯，并在夜间发出温暖的光。该形式是后退45英尺的街道，以使游客友好的景观。

The presentation is bold, yet there is seasoned, mature balance here: A serious tone, equal to the mission of a leading-edge healthcare center, is given a solid form with physical lightness. The building deploys its aesthetics, materials, and features to meet the comprehensive needs of patients and families, doctors, nurses, staff, and students. The design also communicates in part to visitors by suggesting a guiding beacon, transparent and open during the day, and glowing with warm light at night. The form is set back 45 feet from the street to allow for visitor-friendly landscape.

中庭，在一个固定的立面玻璃系统后面，在一个破碎的玻璃屋顶下，是一个巨大的开放的房间，因此沐浴着漫射的光。这间大房间有一个弯曲的梁式悬臂楼梯、玻璃围护电梯和两座高架桥，有效地将人们引导在南北两卷之间。在地板、墙壁、楼梯和天花板上铺满了大量的竹子，增添了优雅和温暖的感觉。活生生的竹子生长在一台10英寸的钢制内部播种机旁边，旁边是一张长凳。

The atrium, behind a point-fixed facade glazing system and beneath a fritted glass roof, is a great open room thus bathed with diffused light. The great room contains a bent-beam cantilevered staircase, glass-enclosed elevators, and two sky-bridges leading people efficiently between the north and south volumes. Ample expanses of bamboo on floors, walls, stairs, and ceilings add elegance and a feeling of warmth. Live bamboo thrives in a cor-ten steel interior planter alongside a waiting bench.

北卷有钢铁和混凝土加固的肿瘤学区域，为病人、医生和护士提供安全、隐私和敏感性。有私人入口处，外部百叶窗，以进一步加强隐私，同时传播太阳辐射，准备和恢复室的自然光。室外等候区为游客提供了一个宁静的选择。直线加速器室由百万磅的混凝土组成，里面嵌有三层铅。尽管有宏伟的设备和三英尺厚的墙壁，这些房间仍然以竹木地板和墙壁的持续使用为人性化。

The north volume, with oncology areas fortified in steel and concrete, provides security, privacy and sensitivity for patients, doctors, and nurses. There are private patient entrances, exterior louvers to further enhance privacy while diffusing solar radiation, and preparation and recovery rooms featuring natural light. An outdoor waiting area provides a serene option for visitors. The linear accelerator rooms comprise one million pounds of concrete imbedded with three layers of lead. Despite the imposing equipment and three-foot-thick walls, the rooms are humanized with the continued use of bamboo flooring and walls.

南卷包含一个宽敞的、设备齐全的等候区，向中庭和室外露台开放。室外景观美化等候区的特点是L形木顶混凝土长椅，以增加隐私。该空间被保护免受直接阳光和过度的太阳热量增加，由25英尺的悬臂在露台上创造的阴影。在整个南卷，侧边，牧师窗口，固定百叶窗接纳和管理自然光的效率和敏感性。

The south volume contains an expansive, well-appointed waiting area that is open to the atrium as well as to an outdoor patio. The outdoor landscaped waiting area features L-shaped wood-topped concrete benches for added privacy. The space is protected from direct sunlight and excessive solar heat gain by shade created by a 25-foot cantilever over the patio. Throughout the south volume, sidelights, clerestory windows, and fixed louvers admit and manage natural light with efficiency and sensitivity.

二楼手术中心的南侧有八个相同的手术室。相同的房间增加了病人的结果，因为不需要医务人员重新定向到每个程序的不同房间。自然光注入区域通常黑暗-准备和恢复，无菌走廊，工作人员休息室和行政区域。牧师的窗户，充满光线的中庭的开口，以及扭曲的天花板结构带来了自然光，而外部百叶窗是战略性的放置，以遮荫那些坐在桌子上的人。一系列房间的定义是包括侧边(用于办公室)或不包括(用于考场)。

Second-floor surgery center features eight identical surgical rooms along the south side of the building. Identical rooms increase patient outcomes by negating the need for medical personnel to become re-oriented to a different room for each procedure. Natural light infuses areas normally darkened—prep and recovery, sterile corridors, staff break rooms, and administrative areas. Clerestory windows, openings to the light-filled atrium, and warped ceiling structure bring in natural light, while exterior louvers are strategically placed to shade those sitting at desks. A series of rooms is defined by the inclusion of sidelights (for offices) or not (for examination rooms).

三楼诊所维护整个大楼的设计和设计特色.行政办公室-通常埋在地板上很深-会被带到周边取光。

The third-floor clinic maintains the design and programmatic features employed throughout the building. Administrative offices—which are usually buried deep within floor plates—are brought to the perimeter for access to light.

这座建筑散发着清晰的气息-循环、材料和移情设计的必要性是显而易见的。通过明智的计划，找路变得容易了，因此病人和访客都专注于治疗和康复。最终的结果是：一个引人注目、戏剧性而又令人欢迎的环境-FAIA的迈克尔·W·福利尼斯(MichaelW.Folonis)所称的“治疗和医学发现中心”。

The building exudes clarity—circulation, materials, and an empathetic design imperative are evident. Way-finding is made easy by smart planning, so instead patients and visitors are focused on treatment and recovery. The end result: a striking, dramatic yet welcoming environment— what Michael W. Folonis, FAIA, calls a “center of healing and medical discovery.”
