由英国Mae建筑事务所设计的伦敦约翰莫登中心（John Morden Centre in London）获得了今年的英国皇家建筑师协会斯特林奖（Stirling Prize）。

这座建筑被斯特灵奖评委会形容为“充满欢乐和灵感的地方”，是莫登学院退休社区居民的日托中心。

这也是去年入围该奖的 Mae Architects 建筑事务所首次获得英国的最高荣誉。

The John Morden Centre in London by UK studio Mae Architects has been named the winner of this year's RIBA Stirling Prize. Described as "a place ofjoy and inspiration" by the Stirling Prize jury, the building is a daycare centre for the residents of the Morden College retirement community. It is the first time that Mae Architects, which was also shortlisted for last year's prize, has won the UK's top honour.


约翰莫登中心荣获 2023 年斯特灵奖

“约翰莫登中心是一个充满欢乐和灵感的地方。”皇家艺术学院斯特灵奖评委会主席Ellen van Loon说，“它巧妙而无缝地将医疗设施和社交空间整合在一起，为老年人健康和护理中心的设计提供了一个大胆而充满希望的模式。”

“创造一个能振奋精神、促进社区发展的环境在每个角落和每个细节中都很明显。”她继续说道。

“这栋建筑提供了舒适和温暖，并配有精心设计的功能。它说明了建筑本身如何提供治疗支持的护理和灌输归属感。伟大的建筑为人们提供了方向感，让他们能够繁荣发展，而这座建筑正是实现这一目标的典范。”

"The John Morden Centre is a place of joy and inspiration, said RIBA Stirling Prize jury chair Ellen van Loon. "It sensitively and seamlessly integrates medical facilities and social spaces, delivering a bold and hopeful model for the design of health and care centres for the elderly."
"Creating an environment that lifts the spirits and fosters community is evident at every turn and in every detail," she continued.
"This building provides comfort and warmth, with thoughtful features designed to prevent isolation. It illustrates how buildings can themselves be therapeutic – supporting care and instilling a sense of belonging. Great architecture orients people so they can thrive, and this building is exemplary at achieving exactly that.”


该建筑由交叉层压木材制成

该建筑由交叉层压框架建成，是伦敦东南部布莱克希斯（Blackheath）一个拥有 300 名居民的退休社区的增建建筑。

建筑内设有医疗设施，包括医生和理疗咨询室，以及咖啡厅、艺术工作室和一个可容纳 100 人的活动空间。

Built from a cross-laminated frame, the building is an addition to a retirement community with 300 residents in Blackheath, southeast London.
It contains medical facilities, including doctor and physiotherapy consultation rooms, as well as a cafe, art studios and a 100-seat events space.


内设咖啡厅等社区功能

该建筑的主要目标之一是创造有助于营造社区氛围的空间，从而帮助消除孤独感。

英国皇家建筑师学会主席 Muyiwa Oki 说：“孤独是一个关键问题，对老年人来说尤其如此。”

“约翰莫登中心的优雅和高效为支持更健康、更快乐和更独立生活的空间设定了高标准。它展示了建筑在加强充满活力和积极向上的社区方面的积极潜力。”他继续说道。

“这是一套设计巧妙的方案，最大限度地减少了建筑对地球脆弱的生态环境的影响，同时还利用了周围自然环境的疗愈价值。它证明了莫登学院的远见和雄心、Mæ事务所的创造力以及他们之间堪称典范的合作。”

One of the key aims of the building was to create spaces that help foster a community atmosphere that would help combat loneliness.
"Loneliness and isolation are critical issues, particularly for older people," said RIBA president Muyiwa Oki.
"The John Morden Centre's elegance and efficacy set a high standard for spaces that support healthier, happier and more independent lives. It illustrates the positive potential of architecture to strengthen vibrant and active communities," he continued.
"This is a skilfully designed package that minimises the building's impact on our planet's delicate ecology, while also harnessing the therapeutic value of the surrounding nature. It stands as a testament to the vision and ambition of Morden College, Mæ's creativity – and the exemplary collaboration between them."
