架构师提供的文本描述。该遗址位于伦敦市中心，毗邻圣巴索洛缪医院的大庭院。这家医院建于12世纪的史密斯菲尔德，是伦敦最古老的医院，与1123年的圣巴索洛缪大教堂同时成立。拉赫尔建立了教堂和医院，“以恢复穷人。”这一独特的遗址有着层次分明的历史特征，深深地连接着伦敦的中世纪文化。虽然大多数已经实现的麦琪中心都是水平建筑，但圣巴茨的中心将更加垂直，坐落在这个历史悠久的遗址上。它将取代20世纪60年代的实用砖结构，毗邻詹姆斯·吉布斯(JamesGibbs)的一座17世纪石砌结构，拥有“大会堂”和著名的霍加思楼梯(Hogarth)。

Text description provided by the architects. The site in the centre of London is adjacent to the large courtyard of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. Founded in Smithfield in the 12th century, the hospital is the oldest in London and was founded at the same time as the St. Bartholomew the Great Church in 1123. Rahere founded the church and hospital “for the restoration of poor men.” Layers of history characterize this unique site, connecting deeply to the Medieval culture of London. While most all of the realized Maggie’s Centres have been horizontal buildings, the centre at St. Barts will be more vertical, sitting on the historically charged site. It will replace a pragmatic 1960s brick structure adjacent to a 17th century stone structure by James Gibbs, holding the “Great Hall” and the famous Hogarth staircase.

这座建筑物被设想为“船只内的船只”。结构是一个支化的混凝土框架，内层是竹子，外层是镀光的白色玻璃，有彩色玻璃碎片，重现了13世纪中世纪音乐中的“彩笔符号”。Neume这个词起源于希腊语的pnevma，意思是‘重要的力量’。它暗示着一种“生命的气息”，它让自己充满了灵感，就像一股气流，即风的吹拂。外玻璃层像音乐棒一样被组织成水平的带状，而混凝土结构像手一样分支。该三层中心有一个开放的弯曲楼梯与混凝土框架的整体，开放空间垂直排列竹子。

The building is envisioned as a “vessel within a vessel within a vessel.” The structure is a branching concrete frame, the inner layer is bamboo and the outer layer is matte white glass with coloured glass fragments recalling “neume notation” of the Medieval music of the 13th century. The word neume originates from the Greek pnevma, which means ‘vital force.' It suggests a ‘breath of life’ that fills oneself with inspiration like a stream of air, the blowing of the wind. The outer glass layer is organized in horizontal bands like a musical staff while the concrete structure branches like the hand. The three-story centre has an open curved staircase integral to the concrete frame with open spaces vertically lined in bamboo.

像音乐“工作人员”一样，玻璃立面的几何形状为90厘米宽的水平条，沿着北立面的主楼梯的几何形状，同时用透明的玻璃面朝主广场，标记主前入口。在通往邻近教堂的扩展花园的西部开口上有第二个入口。这座建筑在一个公共屋顶花园中，通向一个大房间，用于瑜伽、太极、会议等。该建筑的内部特征将由地板和墙壁上的彩色光进行成形，由白天和季节的时间改变。将组织内部照明，以允许有色镜片与立面的半透明白色玻璃一起呈现新的、快乐的、发光的存在于圣巴茨医院的大广场的这个角落。

The glass facade geometry, like a musical “staff”, is in horizontal strips 90cm wide, which follow the geometry of the main stair along the north facade, while lifting up with clear glass facing the main square, marking the main front entrance. There is a second entry on the west opening to the extended garden of the adjacent church. The building tops out in a public roof garden open to a large room for yoga, Tai Chi, meetings etc. The interior character of this building will be shaped by coloured light washing the floors and walls, changing by the time of day and season. Interior lighting will be organized to allow the coloured lenses together with the translucent white glass of the facade to present a new, joyful, glowing presence on this corner of the great square of St. Barts Hospital.
