架构师提供的文本描述。当建造谷仓建筑时，它的本质是：有屋顶的墙壁和一些门窗。这是一种追求纯粹而合乎逻辑的体系结构，一种介于效率和结构本身美之间的体系结构。

Text description provided by the architects. When building a barn architecture is reduced to its essence: walls with a roof and some windows and doors. It is a quest for a pure and logical architecture, an architecture that addresses the middle between efficiency and beauty of the structure itself.

两面墙的施工选用混凝土，并将其锚固在抛光的混凝土板上。每个墙壁上都有一个切口，用来在眼睛的水平上创造一个打开的窗户。墙的模板是一种紧绷的黄麻，这是一种与理想谷仓直接相关的材料，混凝土中对此作了概述。这种将混凝土包裹起来的方法可以得到更多的触觉和视觉效果。

Concrete was chosen for the construction of the two walls, which are anchored to the polished concrete slab. There was made a cut-out in each of the walls to create an open window at eye level. The shuttering of the walls was a tense jute, a material directly related to the idea barn, which is outlined in the concrete. This method of encasing the concrete leads towards a more tactile result and a visual lightness.

在这些混凝土墙之间，木桁架被三根水平木横梁夹住，这也加重了谷仓的长度。当每个桁架被夹紧时，水平桁架中需要一台拖拉机的需求被消除，这导致了一种新型的桁架，并在谷仓内部产生了一种开放的感觉。

Between these concrete walls wooden trusses were sandwiched by three horizontal wooden beams that also accentuate the length of the barn. As each truss is clamped the need for a tractor in the horizontal truss was eliminated, which leads to a new type of truss and an open feeling on the inside of the barn.

屋顶的材料加强了这种开放性，屋顶由聚碳酸酯片构成，无论是字面上还是比喻上都是一种轻材料。凸轮和排水沟由铜制成，突出了屋顶上的一些线条。

This openness is reinforced by the material of the roof, which consists of polycarbonate sheets, both literally and figuratively a light material. The cam and the gutters are made of copper, which accentuate some lines in the roof.

为了密封其余的开口，使用了几种方法：门的建造是基于一种通常用于谷仓和马厩门的技术：它们是用镀锌钢制成的框架和外板。为了关闭前面立面的其余部分，两个高原形成了干草堆放的地方。混凝土上面的侧壁充满了来自音乐学院的轮廓和玻璃。

To seal the remaining openings several methods were used: the construction of the gates is based on a technique commonly used for doors of barns and stables: they are made of frames from galvanized steel with an outer planking. To close rest of the front facade two plateaus were made on which hay is stacked. The side walls above the concrete were filled with profiles and glass from conservatories.

由于其简单的概念和建设，这个谷仓有一个非常强大的建筑表达，而建筑是完美地融入环境。它是一种能够经受时间考验的建筑，而不需要失去内在的质量。

Because of its simplicity in concept and construction this barn has a very powerful architectural expression, while the building is perfectly integrated into the environment. It is an architecture that can withstand the test of time, without having to lose intrinsic quality.
