架构师提供的文本描述。这是一座新的配药药房建筑，建于现有诊所的主干道上。该场地面向南侧的正面道路，而且场地规划已经确定相关设施将按以下顺序从正面道路到现场后面；停车场、药店和客户住所。

Text description provided by the architects. This is a new construction of a dispensing pharmacy that is built across a main arterial road from the existing clinic. The site faces the frontal road on the south side, and the site plan has already been decided that related facilities would be located in the following orders from the frontal road to the back of the site; car parking, pharmacy, and the client’s residence.

停车场和药房之间有1米的空隙，为了安全起见，我们按照建筑规范在中间建造了一堵坚固的墙。此外，我们在药房和住宅之间建造了一堵1.8米高的墙，以保护隐私。附近的诊所周围都是落叶树。因此，在冬天，成堆的落叶堆积在场地周围。

There is a 1-meter gap between the car parking and the pharmacy, and we build a sturdy wall in between for safety according to the building codes. In addition, we build a 1.8-meter high wall between the pharmacy and the residence to secure privacy. The adjacent clinic is surrounded by deciduous trees. Therefore tons of falling leaves pile up around the site in winter.

针对这样的环境条件，我们得出结论，一个简单而大的倾斜屋顶最好能防止落叶堆积。因此，我们把整个建筑设计成一个倾斜的屋顶，我们决定在屋顶上提供可操作的天窗，让自然光和风进入，而不是在南面和北面安装窗户。几个天窗位于屋顶的北部，以防止夏季直接强烈的阳光照射。

In response to such surrounding condition, we come to a conclusion that a simple and large pitched roof would work best to prevent accumulation of falling leaves. Therefore we design the whole building as a pitched-roof volume. Instead of installing windows on the south and the north facades, we decide to provide operable skylights on the roof to let natural light and wind inside. Several skylights are located within the northern portion of the roof with consideration to prevent direct intense sunlight in summer.

屋顶结构的北部被天窗削弱，需要结构加固。药房、工作人员室、厕所和洗手间被围成各种尺寸的倾斜屋顶，放在北部的下面，这样它们也可以作为结构加固物。入口处和候车室也被围成倾斜屋顶.总体来说，该建筑设计为嵌套结构，由各种大小的倾斜屋顶体积组成.

The north portion of the roof structure is weakened by the skylights and needs structural reinforcement. Dispensary, staff room, toilets and washrooms are enclosed in pitched-roof volumes of various sizes and are placed under the northern portion so that they also serve as structural reinforcement. Entrance and waiting room are also enclosed in pitched-roof volumes. Overall, the building is designed as nesting structure composed of pitched-roof volumes in various sizes.
