架构师提供的文本描述。在为Mnnedorf社区大厅设计的竞赛中，我们面临着是保留还是替换现有建筑的问题。在其简介中，地方当局将这一选择留给了建筑师。由于犹豫不决，我们选择留任。我们的想法受到了不同方面的影响：建筑物的物质价值高达三分之一来自于其结构；现有建筑的典型形状植根于当地居民的集体文化记忆；多年来，今天的居民的祖先在这方面付出了大量的努力。

Text description provided by the architects. In the competition to find a design for the community hall in Männedorf, we faced the question of whether to retain or replace the existing building. In its brief, the local authority left that choice up to the architects. Being undecided, we opted for retention. Our ideas were shaped by various aspects: Up to one third of the material value of a building derives from its structure; the typical shape of the existing building is anchored in the collective cultural memory of the local population; and the forefathers of today´s inhabitants had put a lot of hard work into it over the years.

在此之前，教区的旧礼堂被改建成一个新的社区大厅，包括两个大厅和一系列会议室，供当地俱乐部和社团使用。这个项目的规划阶段很复杂，分了好几年，许多地块的界线必须重新界定，以便把村庄新中心的各种用途结合起来。这导致地方当局第一次成功地将村庄中心延伸到铁轨以外，并增加了社区中心的发展密度。现在，距离火车站仅几步之遥，曼尼多夫就有一个混合用途的中心和一个聚会的地方，马恩纳多夫的居民可以在那里辨认。

The old parish hall, which had until then doubled as a venue for meetings, was converted and incorporated into a new community hall, encompassing two halls and a range of meeting rooms for use by local clubs and societies. The planning stages for this project were complicated and spread out over several years, and many plot boundaries had to be redefined in order to bring together the mix of uses in a new center for the village. This resulted in the local authority succeeding for the first time in extending the village center up beyond the railway tracks and increasing the development density in the heart of the community. Now, just a few paces from the railway station, Männedorf has a mixed-use centre and a meeting place with which the inhabitants of Männedorf can identify.

新的社区大厅嵌入并延伸到现有的建筑围护结构之外，它的内部有一个安静的空间，这让人想起了一个广场，人们聚集在一个屋檐下。新的屋顶，现在从下面可以看到骨架，增强了帐篷般的效果，就像垂直橡木肋骨一样。在彩色玻璃球吊灯的设计中，印在石膏板上的葡萄图案也得到了回响。毛纳多夫一直是一个葡萄酒种植者和工匠的社区，这座新礼堂对这一传统表示敬意。

Embedded within and extending beyond the existing building envelope, the new community hall has a quiet spaciousness in its interior that is reminiscent of a marquee where people gather together under one roof. The new roof, with a skeleton now visible from underneath, enhances the tent-like effect, as do the vertical oak ribs. The grape motif printed on the plasterboard panelling is echoed, too, in the design of the pendant lamps of colored glass balls. Männedorf always was a community of wine-growers and craftsmen, and this new hall pays tribute to that heritage.

新的泽图姆·勒埃包括新的社区大厅、新的新教改革教堂大厅和一个包含商店和办公室的街区。这三座建筑物合二为一，它们的布局和外部空间的共同设计。在斜坡和湖边，社区大厅呈现出一堵视觉混凝土墙；这里和厨房的延伸部分采用了中间灰色的彩色混凝土，浇筑后形成了一种均匀的表面印象。在湖边，社区大厅的最后一面墙和教堂大厅的侧壁划出了开放的空间，即Mittelwiesplatz。一种克制的颜色与在两个山墙前种植的绿色形成鲜明对比。就其物质印象而言，合奏在周围的发展中占有很好的位置。

The new Zentrum Leue comprises the new community hall, a new Protestant Reform Church hall and a block containing shops and offices. Together these three buildings form an ensemble, in terms of their arrangement and shared design of the outside spaces. Towards both the slope and the lake, the community hall presents a wall of visual concrete; here and on the kitchen extension at the side mid-grey pigmented concrete was used, poured to create a homogeneous surface impression. On the lake side the end wall of the community hall and the side wall of the church hall mark out the open space that is Mittelwiesplatz. A restrained coloration contrasts with the green of the planting in front of the two gable façades. And in terms of its material impression, the ensemble sits well within the surrounding development.

在山墙表面之间延伸，作为一个外部封闭元素，是一个膨胀的铝网格，让人想起葡萄园里使用的网状结构。精确的细节，这个金属包络，由重叠的面板点-固定在底层的支撑框架，提出了一个均匀的整体印象，进一步加强了金属和框架之间的间隔。铝上的无色阳极漆反映了周围环境和对面建筑物的颜色。根据入射光和观察距离，立面可以有雕塑或纹理的外观，实际上就像苏黎世湖表面的涟漪。从视觉上看，社区大厅的屋顶是综合体整体设计中的关键整合要素。

Extending between the gable façades, as an outer enclosing element, is a grid of expanded aluminium, reminiscent of the netting used in the vineyards. Precise in its detailing, this metal envelope, made up of overlapping panels point-fixed to an underlying support frame, presents a homogeneous overall impression further enhanced by the spacing between the metal and the frame. The colourless anodised finish on the aluminium reflects the colour of the surroundings and buildings opposite. Depending on incident light and viewing distance, the façade can have a sculptural or textured look, rippled in effect like the surface of Lake Zürich. Visually the roof of the community hall is the key integrating element in the overall design of the complex.

俱乐部和社团的会议室可从Mittelwiesplatz访问。他们面向南方和西方，以充分利用自然日光。在窗户的深处，以及在地板上，主要的材料是木材(橡木)和金属，这是建筑内部所有部分的特点。

The meeting rooms for clubs and societies are accessed from Mittelwiesplatz. They face south and west, to make the best use of natural daylight. In the windows with their deep reveals and in the parquet flooring, the dominant materials are wood (oak) and metal, a characteristic in all parts of the building´s interior.

社区大厅的建成标志着创建马恩纳多夫新中心-泽图姆·勒埃-的最后阶段。建筑的形式和外观，以及反复出现的葡萄图案，既借鉴了现有的地方传统，又满足了现代社会的需要。

The completion of the community hall marks the final stage in the creation of Männedorf´s new centre: ‚Zentrum Leue‘. In its form and external appearance, and in the recurrent grapes motifs, the building both draws on existing local traditions and fulfils the needs of a modern community.
