架构师提供的文本描述。在扬州新开发区的东边，在有着2500年历史的京杭大运河东侧，三个庭院社区中心从周围新建的呼叫中心、玻璃写字楼和农庄中脱颖而出。该社区中心的方案要求为周围居民和雇员提供娱乐、就餐和会议空间。

Text description provided by the architects. On the eastern edge of Yangzhou's new development area and east of the 2500-year-old Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Three Courtyard Community Centre stands out from the surrounding newly completed call centres, glass office blocks, and farmers' villages. The Community centre's programme calls for recreation, dining, and meeting spaces for the surrounding residents and employees.

三个院落各有一个中国传统园林的不同元素：竹子、石头和水。在每个主题的庭院周围，砖砌的单元聚集在一起，形成一种乡村气氛.

The three courtyard blocks each feature a different element of a traditional Chinese garden: bamboo, stones, and water. Around each themed courtyard, brick-clad units congregate to form a village atmosphere.

建筑师对乡土公共建筑的兴趣演变成了这个项目的类型学。当地村庄的连续屋顶轮廓和由当地河床制成的红色粘土砖无可否认地锚定了工程现场。兵马俑被用于结构和外观，其图案源自当地建筑文化，并建立在当地建筑文化的基础上。

The architect's interests in vernacular public structures evolved into the typology of this project. Continuous roof profiles in local villages and red clay bricks made from the local riverbed undeniably anchor the project the site. The terracotta bricks are used both in structure and in façade, with patterns stemming from and building upon local building culture.
