架构师提供的文本描述。该项目包括一个扩大100个座位的咖啡馆，翻新厨房和咖啡馆露台。它被认为是低影响环境设计中的一种学习辅助工具，其特点是：我们选择了预制建筑结构的方法，以避免需要某些冗长和破坏性的现场过程。采用Modcell承重板系统.这些面板是由诺丁汉大学的建筑系学生和我们的实习人员在学院的一栋大楼里的“飞行工厂”组装而成的。

Text description provided by the architects. This project comprises an extended 100 seat cafe, refurbished kitchen and cafe terrace. It is conceived as a learning aid in low-impact environmental design, featuring: Method of Construction We chose to pre-fabricate the building structure, in order to avoid the need for certain lengthy and disruptive on-site processes. The Modcell load-bearing panel system was used. The panels were assembled in a ‘flying-factory’ in one of the College outbuildings by architecture students from Nottingham University and members of our practice.

这种模块化结构的一个主要优点是，在其使用寿命结束时，可以很容易地拆除建筑物，并且大多数组件可以重复使用和/或回收利用。这一点很重要，因为学院有未来10-20年校园重建的长期计划。材料的选择，力求充分利用学院的自然资源。用来隔离建筑物的60根有机稻草包来自学院自己的农场。西部的红杉树覆盖和装饰是从学院的150英亩的林地。这个建筑是由学院承包商在离大楼几百码远的地方剪成的。绿色包层是由有学习困难的大学生种植的，使用的是当地托儿所提供的本地品种。

A key advantage of this modular form of construction is that the building can be easily dismantled at the end of its useful life and most components reused and/or recycled. This is important because the College has long-term plans for the redevelopment of the campus over the next 10-20 years. Materials The choice of materials has sought to make the most of the College’s natural resources. The 60 organic straw bales used to insulate the building come from the College's own farm. The western red cedar cladding and decking was forested from the college's 150 acres of woodland. This was cut to size on-site, by College contractors, just a few hundred yards from the building. The green cladding was planted by College students with learning difficulties, using indigenous varieties sourced from local nurseries.

可持续性预制建筑结构是使用Modcell承重面板系统预制的，目的是最大限度地减少现场对环境的破坏。可再生建筑在可能的情况下由可再生材料建造，例如：PEFC或FSC认证的木材和秸秆(农业工业的副产品)。

Sustainability Prefabricated The building structure was prefabricated using the ModCell load-bearing panel system in order to minimise environmentally disruptive on-site works. Renewable The building is constructed from renewable materials where possible, e.g: PEFC or FSC certified timber and straw (a by-product of the agricultural industry).

当地材料-建筑在可能的情况下使用当地的材料，包括大学农场的有机稻草包、学院庄园的西部红杉和当地托儿所的墙壁植物。在学院的农场里，低垃圾的草包被切成大小-修剪的秸秆被堆肥或用作动物床上用品。这个框架是用木材工业的剪刀制作的。削减废物是最小的，因为每个面板是精确切割从更大的板材使用数控设备，但任何废物被重复使用工厂的生物质锅炉。铝和钢的剪裁被设计最小化，但是任何的剪裁都是通过废料工业收集和回收的。

Local Materials The building is constructed using local materials where possible, including organic straw bales from the College farm, western red cedar from the College estate and wall plants from local nurseries. Low-Waste Straw bales were cut to size in the College farm - trimmings were composted or used as animal bedding. The frame is made using offcuts from the timber industry. Cut waste was minimal, as each panel was precision cut from larger sheets using CNC equipment, but any waste was re-used the factory’s biomass boiler. Offcuts of aluminum and steel and were minimised by the design, but any offcuts were collected and recycled via the scrap industry.

可循环利用的建筑设计在其20年的设计寿命和大多数部件的重复使用/再循环结束时拆除。现场能源发电，建筑物产生高达6千瓦的绿色电力从太阳能光伏和风能来源。监视器向建筑物用户显示发电统计信息。节能建筑所需的取暖/冷却非常少，因为450毫米的稻草包绝缘提供的u值比现行规定高出3倍(0.14)。建筑物自然通风，并在可能的情况下利用自然日光。所有的人造灯都在运动和日光感应器。

Recyclable The building is designed to be dismantled at end of its 20 year design life and most of components re-used / re-cycled. On-site Energy Generation The building generates up to 6kW of green electricity from solar photovoltaic and wind power sources. A monitor displays power generation statistics to the building users. Energy Efficient The building requires very little heating/cooling as the 450mm of straw bale insulation provides a u-value 3x better than current regulations require (0.14). The building is naturally ventilated and makes use of natural daylight where possible. All artificial lights are on motion and daylight sensors.

碳隔离每个3m x 3.2米预制承重面板封闭器大约1400公斤大气二氧化碳。绿色墙是在当地种植各种植物，以增强建筑的生物多样性。“绿色”包层最大限度地减少了该方案的视觉影响，并通过更好的温度调节和增加建筑绝缘来减少二氧化碳排放。它还减少了从建筑物涌出的雨水量.这座建筑是作为低影响环境设计的学习工具设计的，通过他们的课程与许多学生相关。学院和大学生一直参与建筑的设计、施工和持续维护工作。咖啡厅内的一个永久展板讲述了它的建造过程。

Carbon Sequestering Each 3m x 3.2m prefabricated load-bearing panel sequesters approximately 1400kg of atmospheric CO2. Green Wall The green wall is planted with local varieties to enhance the biodiversity of the building. The ‘green’ cladding minimises the visual impact of the scheme, as well as reducing CO2 emissions through better temperature regulation and increased building insulation. It also reduces the amount of storm water run-off from the building. Education The building is designed as a learning aid in low-impact environmental design, having relevance to many of its students through their curriculum. College and University students have been be involved in the design, construction and ongoing maintenance of the building. A permanent display panel within the cafe tells the story of its construction.
