来自建筑事务所的描述。英国康沃尔的新档案中心Kresen Kernow（康沃尔中心）开放供研究访问。该项目由英国首席遗产和保护建筑事务所Purcell设计和交付，旨在保护位于康沃尔郡矿业世界遗产遗址中心历史悠久的Redruth酿酒厂大楼，使这座拥有150万份手稿、书籍和文件的综合体重新焕发活力，这些手稿、书籍和文件跨越了康沃尔850年的历史。

Text description provided by the architects. Cornwall’s new archive centre, Kresen Kernow (Cornwall Centre), opened for research visits. Designed and delivered by Purcell, the UK’s leading heritage and conservation architects, the scheme safeguards the historic Redruth Brewery building at the heart of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, revitalising the complex which is home to 1.5 million manuscripts, books and documents spanning 850 years of Cornwall’s history.



Kresen Kernow档案中心汇集了大量的信息，其中记录了康沃尔和Scilly群岛的人、场所、历史和文化。Purcell事务所对原Rudruth啤酒厂的旧址进行了翻新。Rudruth啤酒厂是一组工业建筑，在200多年的时间里，这些建筑在不同时期得到了发展，但是自从2004年关闭后，这些建筑就一直荒废着。

Kresen Kernow brings together the world’s largest source of information and artefacts recording the people, places, history and culture of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Purcell has renovated the site of the former Rudruth Brewery – a collection of industrial buildings which had been developed at various times during a period of over 200 years but which had laid derelict since the brewery closed in 2004.





2011年和2013年接连发生的纵火案摧毁了这些建筑的内部结构，使其中几座建筑只剩下由临时支撑物支撑起来的满是残骸的外壳。随后，康沃尔议会和国家彩票遗产基金提供了资金，重建了这些建筑。

Successive arson attacks in 2011 and 2013 had devastated the buildings’ interiors, reducing several of the structures to little more than debris-filled shells supported by temporary propping. Subsequently, the redevelopment of the site was enabled by funding from Cornwall Council and National Lottery Heritage Fund.



Purcell事务所的修复和适应方法受到了历史建筑强烈的视觉吸引力的影响。设计团队特别热衷于保留剩余的结构，并使室内重新焕发生机，为当代展览和图书馆提供模范空间。

Purcell’s approach to the restoration and adaptation was influenced by the strong visual appeal of the historic fabric. The design team was particularly keen to retain the remaining structures and rejuvenate the interiors to provide exemplary spaces for contemporary exhibition and library use.







两层的档案商店包含有长达14英里（约22.5千米）的档案信息，这个空间结合到综合体中，外部覆盖着预制混凝土嵌板，构成与现有建筑相对立的空间。新扩建的中心部分保留了20世纪30年代的锥形砖烟囱，烟囱高达33米（100英尺）。

A new two-storey environmentally-controlled archive store – comprising 14 miles of archive racking – has been added to the complex, externally clad in precast concrete panels, designed as a robust yet discrete counterpoint to the existing building. Reaching a height of 33m (100ft), the 1930s tapered brick chimney has been retained at the heart of the new extension.







部分受损的空间已经得以修复，屋顶上安装的照明灯让建筑熠熠生辉，使其无论白天还是晚上都可以成为视觉焦点。一个由铜覆盖的扩建部分超出了原有建筑的范围，在一楼构成了一个引人注目的展示区域，并在场地靠近入口的区域构成外部协调中心。

The eroded pointing towards the top has been rectified and uplighters installed at roof level to illuminate the distinctive local landmark making it visible from the town and surrounding area by day and night. A copper-clad addition projects beyond the confines of the original building and accommodates a dramatic display area at first floor level, as well as providing an external focal point close to the site entrance.





Purcell事务所重新引入了原有建筑的特点，以前封闭的开口被重新开放，还安装了新的硬木框架窗户和玻璃幕墙。一些原来的铸铁柱已经从被大火烧毁的建筑中抢救出来，并被放入新的钢框架中，用来支撑着一楼和屋顶，为历史悠久的墙壁提供了横向约束。

Purcell has reintroduced original features of the existing buildings, previously infilled openings have been reopened and fitted with new hardwood-framed windows and glazed screens. A number of original cast iron columns have been salvaged from the fire-torn building and incorporated in a new steel frame that supports the first floor and roof, providing lateral restraint to the historic walls.



现代的粉刷和石膏覆盖层已经成功地从石制品中移除，原来的花岗岩石板被小心翼翼地取出并重新铺设在新的一楼展览空间中。根据历史记录，高层的砖墙也经过恢复。精心修复的历史建筑，结合新的现代元素，为这些有特色的建筑创造了新的生命，同时为当地社区提供了宝贵的资源，以供当地人和游客的参观。

Modern render and plaster coverings have been successfully removed from the stonework, with original granite flagstones carefully lifted and re-laid within the new ground floor exhibition space. Brick gable walls at high level have also been reinstated, based on historic records. The careful repair of historic fabric, combined with new, modern insertions, creates a new life to these characterful buildings while providing a valuable resource for the local community that can be accessed and enjoyed by visitors from Cornwall and beyond.
