架构师提供的文本描述。在Rijssen小镇，2x4-建筑师为老年人设计了新的医疗保健和住房综合体“Eltheto”。直到最近，老年人被视为一个在现代社会之外发挥作用的群体，只需要照顾。现在的老年人保健中心和住房仍然是按照他的想法设计的。在过去的十多年中，这导致了一系列内向的建筑，主要关注的是医疗保健，而不是生活质量本身。

Text description provided by the architects. In the small town of Rijssen 2by4-architects designed the new healthcare and housing complex ‘Eltheto’ for elderly people. Until recently elderly people were seen as a group that functions outside of modern society and are only in need of care. The contemporary healthcare centers and housing for elderly people are still designed according to his idea. Over the past decennia this resulted in a range of introvert buildings where the main focus is healthcare instead of the quality of life itself.

对于Eltheto，2x4-建筑师倒转了这个概念，把住房和医疗计划分开了。住房计划的功能就像一个特殊的住房项目，人们可以在郊区找到它。它们是开放的社会住房区，其主要重点是生活质量和保持社会环境的一部分。对于较不独立的居民来说，住房方案是根据他们的需要进行调整的，但仍然把重点放在生活质量上。

For Eltheto 2by4-architects inverted this concept and separated the housing and healthcare program. The housing program functions like a particular housing program that one would find in a suburb. They are open and social housing blocks where the main focus is on the quality of life and staying part of the social context. For the less independent inhabitants the housing program is adjusted according to their needs, but still the focus on quality of life remains.

不同楼宇的建筑，反映出是为较独立的长者、以社会为本的长者，还是为需要医疗服务的长者而设。虽然这导致了不同的卷，所有的街区显然是同一个家庭的一部分，与公共空间构成了一个完整的社会场所，为下一代老年人生活。

The architecture of the different housing blocks reflects if they are for the more independent elderly, the social orientated elderly or elderly in need of health care. Although this results into different volumes all the blocks are clearly part of the same family that together with the public space form an integrated social place to live for the next generation of elderly.

设计的重点来自一项针对老年人不同需求和特点的生活方式研究。部分研究表明，如果老年人不得不改变他们的生活方式，为了得到医疗保健，他们的预期寿命将减少。他们变得更少的流动性，更多的依赖，并最终在社会上孤立。孤独已经成为老年人的一个主要问题，尤其是当伴侣之一去世的时候。

The focus of the design comes from a life style research that looks at the different needs and characteristics of elderly. Part of the research indicates that if elderly have to move away from their life style, in order to receive health care, their life expectancy will decrease. They become less mobile, more dependant and eventually socially isolated. Loneliness has become a major issue among elderly, especially if one of the partners has passed away.

Eltheto的目标是通过提供适合老年人当前需求的医疗保健和住房，使老年人成为现代生活和社会的一部分。如果他们的需求发生变化，他们就能够在家里接受医疗保健，或者搬到其他Eltheto大楼中的一个，这些建筑旨在提供更专业的保健服务。这样，他们就可以在家里呆得更久，当他们最终需要搬家时，他们就会呆在同一个街区。

Eltheto's goal is to keep elderly part of modern life and society by providing the right healthcare and housing that fits their current needs. If their needs will change they are able to receive health care at home or move to one of the other Eltheto buildings that are designed to provide more specialized health care. This way they can stay home longer and when they eventually need to move they'll stay within the same neighbourhood.

Eltheto综合体的4座住宅为独立的单身老人和夫妇、老年痴呆症老人、身体残疾老人和智障老人提供住房。这4座住宅位于几个公共空间周围。公共空间在住宅区、位于中心的保健中心和邻里之间相互作用。公共空间由客户、住房公司和保健机构拥有，他们希望老年人能够按照自己的想法使用公共空间。

The 4 housing blocks at the Eltheto complex provide housing for independent elderly singles and couples, elderly with Alzheimer, elderly with somatic disabilities and mentally disabled elderly. These 4 housing blocks are situated around several public spaces. The public spaces interact between the housing blocks, the centrally located healthcare centre and the neighbourhood. The public space is owned by the client, a housing corporation and a heath care organization, who want the elderly to use the public space according to their own ideas.

老年人被激励组织起来，利用公共空间进行公共园艺、户外活动和会议，玩像Pétanque这样的游戏，或者坐在一棵树下享受周围发生的事情。公共空间以其众多的树木和植物获得其绿色特征，所有这些都是根据颜色、遮荫量、开花期和果实类型标准精心选择的。所有这些都为所谓的自然愈合环境做出了贡献。

The elderly are stimulated to organize themselves and use the public place for programs like communal gardening, outdoor events and meetings, play games like Pétanque or just sit under one of the trees and enjoy the things happening around them. The public space acquires its green character by its numerous trees and plants, all carefully chosen by colour, shading amount, flowering period and fruit types criteria. All this contributes to the so-called natural healing environment.

社区保健中心位于公共空间的中心，可视为整个建筑群的中心。它不仅为居住在Eltheto的人提供保健服务，而且也为邻近地区提供保健服务。除保健外，该中心还包括许多公共服务，如餐厅、图书馆、日用品商店、冥想中心、日托、发廊和许多活动区和办公场所。

The communal healthcare centre is located in the centre of the public space and can be seen as the heart of the whole complex. It provides health care services not only for the people living at Eltheto, but also for the neighbourhood. Besides health care the centre incorporates many some public services, such as a restaurant, a library, a shop for daily groceries, a meditation centre, day care, hair salon and numerous activity areas and office spaces.

该中心可直接从公共空间进入，以进一步加强室内和室外空间之间的关系以及这一现代保健综合体的总体公共性质。

The centre is accessible directly from the public space in order to strengthen even more the relationship between the indoor and outdoor spaces as well as the overall public character of this modern healthcare complex.
