美国工作室Office III在纽约市的总督岛建造了一座游客中心，使用的是海洋级胶合板和雪松面板。

US studio Office III has constructed a visitors' centre for Governors Island in New York City using marine-grade plywood and cedar decking.

这里是有史以来第一座“总督岛”的游客中心，并更好地帮助游客在城市港口的小岛附近航行。它距离曼哈顿最南端只有800码（732米），从那里或市中心的布鲁克林区坐轮渡就可以到达这个游客中心。

The pavilion is the first-ever welcome centre for Governors Island, and was added to help tourists better navigate the small island in the city's harbour. It lies just 800 yards (732 metres) from Manhattan's southern-most tip, and reachable by ferry from both there or downtown Brooklyn.

总督岛的业主要求Office III事务所为这个建筑运用木质结构，但有一些限制条件：建筑必须为预制临时结构，并且便于运输和组装，这个作品六个星期后将向人们展示。

The Friends of Governors Island asked Office III to design the wooden structure, but with a few constraints: it had to be prefabricated, temporary and portable, and pitched to them just six weeks later.

这个工作室由哈佛大学设计学院的三个朋友创建，设计的思路来源于岛上的格鲁吉亚复兴式兵营和两个军事要塞。

The studio – founded by three friends from Harvard's Graduate School of Design – looked to the island's Georgian Revival-style barracks and two military forts for subtle references.

蝴蝶状屋顶覆盖了一个800平方英尺（74平方米）的木制平台，让游客免受日晒的影响，同时将整个建筑面向草坪开放。

A butterfly roof covers an 800-square-foot (74-square-metre) wooden deck to protect visitors from the sun, while remaining open to the grassy lawn.

建筑下面的信息亭是唯一一个完全封闭的结构。聚碳酸脂窗和板状木材共同形成立面墙体，围合成三角形的角落和休息区域。

Underneath, an information kiosk is the only fully enclosed structure. Polycarbonate windows and slatted wood serve as semi-walls, which create triangular nooks and lounging areas.

Office III工作室与Laufs工程设计公司合作设计结构工程。团队选择了木材百叶窗以抵御屋顶的垂直负荷，而五边形的核心构架则用于支撑地板。

Office III collaborated with Laufs Engineering Design for structural engineering. The team chose timber louvres to resist the vertical loads of the roof, while a pentagon-shaped core supports the floor deck.

海洋级胶合板用于内部，而雪松木板则覆盖在外部。这两种材料形成的空间能够最大限度地为人们遮风挡雨。

Marine-grade plywood lines the interior, while cedar planks cover the exterior. Both materials are resilient to New York's infamous summer rainstorms.

该中心的“欢迎”标志运用的是与岛上相同的字体。设计机构Pentagram在2014年为总督岛设计了名为Guppy Sans的定制LOGO标识。

只在夏季开放的总督岛是一处受欢迎的旅游目的地。从这里坐轮渡到达可以看到荷兰建筑公司West 8最近完工的自由女神像，或者欣赏音乐节和不定期的构建展示，比如去年来自Folio设计的“梦之城”。

The centre's "Welcome" sign showcases the same lettering used around the island. Design agency Pentagram created the custom typeface, titled Guppy Sans, for Governors Island in 2014.
Only open in the summer months, Governors Island is a popular day-trip destination. Citygoers ferry over to see the Statue of Liberty from a recently completed hilly park by the Dutch architecture firm West 8, or for enjoying music festivals and seasonal installations, like last year's City of Dreams Pavilion by Folio.
