该设计是通过与Montebello社区的一系列社区会议开发的，并受到SMA设计团队领导的社区外联工作的强烈影响。该项目已经完成，并已在“建筑记录”的在线杂志和“加州建筑学”和“包韦尔特”杂志上刊登。

The design was developed through a series of community meetings with the Montebello neighborhood and was strongly influenced by the community outreach effort led by the SMA design team. The project was completed and has been featured in Architectural Record’s on-line magazine and in Architecture California and Bauwelt magazines.

该中心被精心安排在11英亩的雷吉罗德里格斯公园内，周围是住宅区，利用被动太阳能场地的安置来减少能源负荷。循环是完全开放的空气，是一个成本效益的解决方案，利用无条件的建筑面积。两个屋顶甲板和一个多用途的房间为社区聚会提供了其他廉价但成功的场所。

The center is carefully sited within the 11-acre Reggie Rodriguez Park surrounded by a residential area to take advantage of passive solar site placement to reduce energy loads. The circulation is entirely open to the air and is a cost effective solution to utilizing unconditioned building area. Two rooftop decks and a multi-purpose room provide other inexpensive yet successful areas for community gatherings.

一种积极和反思的经验结合在一起：从漏洞百出的公共空间延伸到公园，到更加内向和封闭的地区，为年轻人集中工作和成长。入口，在一个空间，与公园广场，是由一个无缝的地面从外面。白天和晚上，从大厅空间透出的光线通过入口处的屏幕一直延伸到建筑物的各个角落，把光线洒进公园。白天，整个立面向公园开放，卷曲的大厅屏幕打开，滚动的门打开，邀请社区探索中心的公共空间和节目。

A combination of active and reflective experiences is present: from porous public spaces which spill out into the park, to the more introverted and cloistered areas for concentrated work and growth for the youth. The entry, in a space congruous to the park plaza, is created by a seamless floor surface leading from the outside. Views extend straight through the building both during the day and at night the light from the lobby spaces are filtered through the entrance screen, spilling light into the park. During the day the entire facade opens to the park as the coiling lobby screen opens and the rolling door slides opens to invite the community to explore the center’s public spaces and programs.

该社区中心的独特之处在于，它将部分通过与蒙特贝罗市合作的四个非营利机构之间的合作来运作。SMA与每一个机构合作，为各自的空间规划，并确保各小组之间的协调以及它们各自给项目带来的空间要求。现场和邻里的环境是具有挑战性的，因为这是一个受帮派活动困扰的地区。社区中心的构想部分是为了向青年及其家庭提供有价值的服务以及毒品和暴力的替代办法。

The community center was unique in that it was to be operated in part through a collaborative effort among four non-profit agencies working with the City of Montebello. SMA worked with each of these agencies to program their spaces and to ensure coordination among the groups and the spatial requirements they each brought to the projects. The site and neighborhood context was challenging in that it was an area troubled with gang activity. The community center was conceived in part to provide the youth and their families with valuable services and alternatives to drugs and violence.

这一社区中心项目在许多方面取得了成功：

This community center project was successful in a number of ways:

这是社区欢迎社区的一个积极和美丽的核心；它拥有社区的所有权，因为他们通过SMA领导的社区外联计划积极参与设计过程；而且运营成本效益高，因为通过设计过程中的决策减少了能源负荷。

it is a positive and beautiful centerpiece for the community that welcomes the neighborhood in; it has ownership from the community in that they actively participated in the design process through the SMA-led community outreach program; and it is cost-effective to operate in that the energy loads were reduced through the decisions made in the design process.
