Merrett Houmøller建筑事务所设计了这个便捷式移动厨房和折叠式餐饮设施，是英国红十字会在伦敦的难民友好项目（Refugees and Befriending Project）的基础设施。

Merrett Houmøller Architects designed this mobile kitchenand pop-up dining facility as a base for the Refugees and Befriending Project run by the British Red Cross in London.

该建筑事务所位于英国伦敦，设计了这座名字为“友好厨房”的小空间，这个人道主义组织计划每周召集一次避难者和难民，共同享受一顿饭。

这个便捷式厨房和餐饮设施采用色彩明亮的可拆卸模块，项目位于一座办公场所前面，明亮的色彩为这个沉闷的空间增添了活跃元素。

该设施还可以在城市周围移动，扩大该项目的覆盖范围。

The London-based practice approached the British Red Cross with its idea for the structure named the Befriending Kitchen. It's used by the humanitarian organisation as a base for its programme that brings together young asylum seekers and refugees once a week to share a meal.
The brightly coloured demountable modules that make up the kitchen and dining facilities provide a vibrant alternative to the programme's previous home in an uninspiring office.
The design also allows the project to be moved around the city, expanding the reach of the programme.

“当我们将建筑当成一份职业，我们更倾向于回避社会变革的问题，而不是专注于自我发展的形式。”联合创始人Peter Merrett告诉Dezeen记者。

“这是我们一个很好的机会，以最直接的方式帮助难民，也许能减弱围绕移民和全球难民危机的恐惧和不安定的气氛。”

"As a profession, we architects have a tendency to shy away from questions of social change, instead obsessing over self indulgent form-making," practice co-founder Peter Merrett told Dezeen.
"[It] was an opportunity for us to engage with the refugee crisis in a direct and tangible way, and perhaps begin to counteract the atmosphere of fear and suspicion that surrounds immigration and the global refugee crisis."

这两个组件模块中包含有厨房与餐厅的各项设施，其中包括燃气灶、水槽和服务区，以及用于折叠桌子和长凳的存储空间。

两个组件搭建完成后，可以成为容纳30人的非正式用餐区。

“就餐过程中的氛围相对轻松融洽，容易让人们拉开心扉相互交流。当我们试图解决政治带来的紧张局势和期望时，有什么比分享一顿美食更能贴近人心呢？” Merrett说。

Each of the two modules contain facilities for cooking, preparation and cleaning, including a gas hob, sink and serving area, as well as storage space for the folding tables and benches.
When unpacked the two units enclose an informal dining area for up to 30 people.
"Meal times have a universal familiarity that all people can share in. As we attempt to address the shared tensions and aspirations either side of political borders, where better place to start than by sharing a meal?", said Merrett.

该项目由MerrettHoumøller建筑事务所与英国红十字会、英国皇家建筑师学会密切合作而成。

RIBA青年人论坛（RIBA Young People's Forum）的志愿者们精心设计了能够传达信息的图形，为语言障碍的人士提供多彩的就餐解读。

The creation of the modules was a collaborative effort with Merrett Houmøller Architects working closely with both the British Red Cross and Royal Institute of British Architects.
A colourful interpretation of nautical signal flags, which were themselves devised to overcome language barriers, the bright graphics were designed with volunteers from the RIBA Young People's Forum.

在该组织和红十字会的志愿者共同合作，将这些小空间进行制作与组装。

建筑事务所与RIBA组织共同构思了该项目的最初理念，这来源于“超越国界”的设计想法。

Fabrication, decoration and assembly of the units, was undertaken with the assistance of volunteers from the forum and the Red Cross.
The collaboration with RIBA came about as the practice's initial idea was sparked by the organisation's open call for "ideas that go beyond borders".

“友好厨房”项目最先在伦敦RIBA总部的露台上拼装使用，然后交由英国红十字会。它目前位于伦敦东部的哈克尼（Hackney）贫困中心的院子里。

The Befriending Kitchen was launched on the terrace of RIBA's headquarters in London before being handed over to the British Red Cross. It is currently located in the courtyard of the organisation's Hackney destitution centre in east London.
