M3 Architecture creates decorative concrete details for Australian children's centre

该项目位于昆士兰州，是为受虐待的儿童而建造的。它扇形的顶盖下面有坚固的混凝土墙体和户外的游戏区域。

This facility for abused children in Queensland features walls of robust concrete blocks and outdoor play areas sheltered beneath a scalloped canopy.

布里斯班工作室M3 Architecture在汤斯维尔的詹姆斯库克大学校园内设计了这座建筑。

这是第一个为ACT for Kids的定制中心——ACT for Kids是一个为受虐儿童和家庭提供治疗和支持的慈善机构。

Brisbane studio M3 Architecture developed the building for the campus of James Cook University in Townsville.
It is the first custom-built centre for ACT for Kids – a charity providing therapy and support to abused children and families.

该中心包含管理设施、日托和一套治疗空间，被分成三个结构。

一个有曲线边缘的混凝土屋顶把它们联系在一起，屋顶的设计模仿附近树木枝干的形状。

Containing administration facilities, daycare and a suite of therapy spaces, the centre is separated into three structures.
These are connected by a concrete canopy with curved edges, designed to trace the shapes created by the branches of nearby trees.

建筑的结构参考了原来60年代校园的墙体结构，当时是建筑师James Birrell设计的。

但是这种裸露的混凝土被屋顶曲线的形状和周围的绿植所软化。

The building's structure references blockwork structures of the original 1960s campus by architect James Birrell.
But the stark concrete surfaces are softened by the curving shapes, as well as by the surrounding greenery.

“建筑被设计为一个方形的混凝土体块，治疗室在其内部的隐秘处，它的周围有两棵树，绿色风景可以给治疗带来的益处，”建筑师解释说。

"The design is conceived as a concrete block perimeter, with therapy rooms in the inner sanctum, sculpted around two stands of trees, in response to the well-documented benefit that landscape brings to therapy," explained the architects.

行政大楼位于基地的北面，特殊功能学校在其南面。

它们之间有一个小的亭子是专家治疗室，环绕一个圆形的中心庭院径向排列。

The administration building is situated to the north of the plot, with the special-needs school to the south.
In between is a pavilion housing the specialist therapy rooms, which are arranged radially around a circular central courtyard.

标准的外圆角混凝土块形成外立面。

双层的横木被粘结在行政大楼的前立面上，赋予建筑不朽的感觉。拱形的凹窗和门的开口进一步强调了这种感觉。

Standard bullnose concrete blocks form the external elevations.
These are laid in a double-stretcher stack bond on the front facade of the administration building to give the building a monumental feel. This is further emphasised by arched, recessed windows and door openings.

侧墙以粘结在一起的双层横木为特色，形成了一种斜向贯穿的图案，顺应倾斜的基地的方向。

在建筑的一角，体块的交叉和重叠创造了一种独特的光影图案。

The side walls feature a double stretcher-stretcher bond that results in a pattern of diagonal perforations, following the direction of the sloping site.
At the corner of the building, the blocks intersect and overlap, creating a distinctive pattern of light and shadow.

“该项目在新趋势上采用了Birrell的设计方案，”项目团队补充说。

“新项目对孩子的公共领域日程的要求也许是一样的——而不仅仅是儿童，还有处在这种环境下的人，因此需要这个设施。”

"The project takes Birrell's approach in a new direction," the project team added.
"The new project asks what a public realm agenda for children might be like – and not just any children, but those who are in the kind of circumstances so as to require this facility."

起保护作用的围栏和基地周边的屏障使用紧密间隔的木材建造，设计灵感则来自周边的树木。类似的木材被悬挂在治疗亭周边的屋檐下。

Protective fences and screens around the edges of the site are constructed using closely spaced logs that reference the surrounding trees. Similar logs are suspended from the canopy surrounding the therapy pavilion.

室内空间使用大量的木材和大型窗户，提供了温暖和明亮的环境，增强了与自然联系的感觉。

户外游戏区和花园与一些治疗室相连，通过建筑、树木和像城堡一样的木栅栏来增强受保护的感觉。

The interior spaces provide a warm and bright environment with plenty of wooden surfaces and large windows enhancing the sense of connection with nature.
Outdoor play areas and gardens connected to some of the therapy rooms feel protected by the buildings, the trees and the fort-like wooden fences.

让孩子与自然亲密接触的建筑还有其它的例子，包括澳大利亚森林的一个木屋，还有一个玻璃围绕的德国幼儿园，孩子可以看向邻近的林地。
