纽约的公司Deborah Berke Partners赢得了改造一座监狱的竞赛，为了城市中女孩和妇女的权利运动，把它变成了一座永久性的住宅。

该工作室由Berke建立——她是耶鲁建筑学院的现任院长——在这场国际竞赛中最终获胜，重新设计了之前的Bayview惩戒所，把它改造成女性建筑。

“在我超过30年的实践中，很少有项目能引起我的共鸣，就个人而言，它是其中一个，”Berke说。

“把老的监狱设施变成一个充满希望和行动力的地方，同时履行该项目中将其转型的任务本质，该想法是我们团队进行这次设计的灵感来源。”

New York firm Deborah Berke Partners has won a competition to transform a correctional facility into a permanent home for the girls' and women's rights movement in the city.
The studio founded by Berke – the current dean of Yale School of Architecture – triumphed in the international competition to redesign the former Bayview Correctional Facility as The Women's Building.
"In my more than 30 years of practice, few projects have resonated with me as personally as this one has," said Berke.
"The idea of turning the old correctional facility into a place of hope and action, and the transformational nature of the project's mission, are an inspiration for my team."

该项目由NoVo基金会和Goren组织发起，他们计划重建这座建筑，让它变成那些为女孩和妇女工作的人的中心，同时给他们提供资源和支持。

“这座女性建筑的设计将与女孩、妇女权利的领导人和其他积极活动者协商制定，”组织的联合声明表示。

1931年，Shreve、 Lamb & Harmon和帝国大厦的建筑师协会设计了这座100000平方英尺（9300平方米）的建筑。

它位于曼哈顿的切尔西社区，处在西二十街和第十一大道的南角，一直作为一个女子监狱，直到2012年的飓风Sandy将其毁坏。

2015年的10月，之前的监狱被帝国发展部判给NoVo基金会和 Goren组织，此后他们开始寻找设计者。

The project was initiated by the NoVo Foundation and the Goren Group, which plan to redevelop the building into a hub for those working on behalf of girls and women, and provide them with resources and support.
"The design of The Women's Building will be formulated in consultation with girls' and women's rights leaders and other activists," said a joint statement from the organisations.
The 100,000-square-foot (9,300-square-metre) building was designed in 1931 by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, the architects of the Empire State Building.
Located at the south corner of West 20th Street and 11th Avenue in Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood, it served as a women's penitentiary until it was damaged during Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
After rights to the former prison were awarded by Empire State Development in October 2015, the NoVo Foundation and Goren Group launched the search for a designer.

由领先的建筑师、女孩和妇女权利活动家和其他行业的专家组成的八强委员会评比递交的方案。

Deborah Berke Partners的获胜方案将在与领先的积极活动者进行磋商后，被开发出来。

“包含了许多其他的因素，选拔委员会对该方案有着深刻的印象，因为它展现了极富远见的思想、设计团队的合作创新精神以及建筑公司与女性建筑的使命和价值取向的一致性，”组织说。

该建筑将于2017年着手建设，预期在2020年完成。

2015年9月，Berke被宣布成为耶鲁大学建筑学院院长，在后半月从后现代建筑大师Robert AM Stern手里接管。

她的公司目前正在为Cummins发动机公司设计一个销售总部，它位于印地安那州的印第安纳波利斯的商业区；其他项目包括遍布全国的许多酒店，还有在曼哈顿和纽约北部的大学项目。

Berke设计的著名的已完成项目包括：耶鲁艺术学院、Hudson山谷的Bard大学音乐学院、纽约的Marianne Boesky美术馆和遍布美国南部和中西部地区的21C博物馆酒店。

An eight-strong committee composed of leading architects, girls' and women's rights activists, and other industry professionals reviewed the submissions.
Deborah Berke Partners' winning proposal will now be developed during ongoing consultation with leading activists.
"Among many other factors, the selection committee was impressed with the visionary ideas in the proposal, the co-creative spirit of the design team, and the firm's alignment with the mission and values of The Women's Building," the organisations said.
Construction on The Women's Building is due to commence in 2017, with completion expected by 2020.
Berke was announced as Yale University's architecture school dean in September 2015, and takes over the post this month from Postmodern architect Robert AM Stern.
Her firm is currently designing a distribution headquarters for the Cummins Engine company in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, a number of other hotels across the country, and university projects in Manhattan and Upstate New York.
Berke's notable completed projects include the Yale School of Art, the Music Conservatory at Bard College in the Hudson Valley, the Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York, and the 21C Museum Hotels throughout the American south and midwest.
