架构师提供的文本描述。现有的学校位于比利时一个名为Barvaux-Condroz的村庄中心的主要道路上，学校正与教会直接对话。它在后面有一个开阔的视野，在地块的东侧有一个开阔的区域。

Text description provided by the architects. The existing school is located along the main road in the heart of a Belgian village called Barvaux-Condroz, The school is in direct dialogue with the church. It has a widely open view at the back and an open area on the east side of the plot.

学校扩建和翻修项目包括：在现有建筑上，后立面的南方向在操场和景观上开放，而北立面相对封闭。

The school expansion and renovation project includes the following: On the existing building, the south orientation of the rear façade opens on the playground and the landscape, whereas the north façade is relatively closed.

学校入口处的位置是一个根本性的问题。目前行人过路的位置和家长进入停车场安全通道的分析，导致我们开发了东面山墙上的自由区，内部入口空间是教室和食堂之间的连接。

The position of the entrance to the school is a fundamental question. The present location of the pedestrian crossing and the analysis of safe access to the car park for parents led us to exploit the free zone on the east gable. The internal entrance space is the connection between the classrooms and the refectory.

今天的现有区域完全是专门供教室使用的。因此，南立面上的水平循环走廊被外部化，从而创建了一个连接所有区域/空间的玻璃走廊。这一画廊还将有“双皮肤”的效果，基本的气候控制。

The existing areas available today are entirely dedicated to classrooms. Horizontal circulations corridors have therefore been externalized on the south façade thus creating a glass gallery connecting all areas/spaces. This gallery will also have a “double-skin” effect, fundamental in terms of climatic control.

现有建筑物的色调是灰色的，从石灰石到板岩不等。该项目的基础是对现有建筑的一致理解，以及要求将现有学校与外部隔离的“低能量”伦理。石板灰色包层，突出了色彩的接触在钢框架，成为新的绝缘和保护“皮肤”的学校，同时给它一个新的外观。

The chromatic tone of the existing buildings is gray, varying from limestone to slate. The project is based both on a coherent understanding of existing buildings, and a "low energy" ethic requiring to isolate the existing school from the outside. The slate grey cladding, highlighted with touches of colors on the steel frames, becomes the new insulating and protective “skin” of the school while giving it a new look.
