架构师提供的文本描述。这个34，000平方英尺的地区卫生设施位于亚特兰大西南部一个服务不足的社区，在一个屋檐下有一个初级保健诊所、一个行为健康诊所、一个托儿设施、一个牙科诊所和一个劳动力社区中心。在这样做的过程中，它展示了一个整体的健康理念和一个积极的自我形象，为一个受到挑战的社区。这座建筑也是该地区未来增长的催化剂。

Text description provided by the architects. This 34,000-square-foot regional health facility located in an under-served neighborhood in southwest Atlanta combines under one roof a primary care clinic, a behavioral health clinic, childcare facilities, a dental clinic and a workforce community center. In doing so, it projects a holistic idea of wellness and a positive self-image for a challenged community. The building is also meant as a catalyst for future growth in the area.

其意图是创造一种充满活力和活力的结构。屋顶被认为是一个充满活力的保护元素，一个隐喻的毯子，向上打开欢迎公众。立式接缝“夹子”折叠在屋顶上，容纳机械设备，识别主要条目并充当灯塔。在内部，一个分散的、双高度的循环游说团进一步整合了所有的方案组成部分.

The intention was to create a structure that feels vibrant and alive. The roof was conceived as a dynamic, protective element, a metaphoric blanket, opening upward to welcome in the public. A standing-seam “clamp” folds over the roof to house mechanical equipment, identify major entries and serve as a beacon. Inside, a decentralized, double-height circulation lobby further integrates all the programmatic components.

把所有这些功能放在一个单一的设施中，为不同背景的人服务的想法，导致了对社区民间艺术的考虑，尤其是它在非裔美国人社区中的社会和美学传统。亚特兰大艺术家拉德克利夫·贝利的拼贴画也是灵感之一，他在一起发现了物品、档案照片和具有爵士乐般的效果的历史意象。这些灵感使我们理解了建筑的外部材料是如何反映被子和即兴音乐的心律失常而统一的模式的。因此，随机图案装置用于金属墙板和穿孔窗口的位置。

The notion of co-locating all these functions in a single facility to serve people of varied backgrounds led to consideration of the communal folk art of quilting, in particular its social and aesthetic traditions in the African-American community. Also an inspiration were the collaged paintings of Atlanta artist Radcliff Bailey, who pieces together found objects, archival photographs and historic imagery with jazz-like effects. These inspirations led to understanding how the building’s exterior materials could reflect the arrhythmic yet unified patterns of both quilting and improvisational music. Hence the randomized patterning devices used in metal wall panels and punched window location.

一个设计建造，快速的项目，健康中心的建筑，从开始到完成，在275天内完成。这就需要在包括城市、县和社区成员在内的多个利益攸关方之间进行调解；例如，说服所有各方相信，各种服务可以成功地共享支持和工作人员空间，从而最大限度地提高大楼的效率。在特别苛刻的经济和时间表限制下，设计、详细和建造这样一个复杂而优雅的结构是一项了不起的成就。

A design-build, fast-track project, the health center building was completed, from start to finish, in 275 days. This required mediating between multiple stakeholders, including the city, county and community members; for example, convincing all that the support and staff spaces could be successfully shared between the various services, maximizing the building’s efficiency. It was a singular achievement to design, detail and build such a sophisticated and elegant structure under particularly harsh economic and schedule constraints.
