丹尼斯-戈德堡是南非解放政治中一个令人尊敬的人物。他是1963年臭名昭著的里沃尼亚审判中唯一被判处终身监禁的白人，在这次审判中，纳尔逊-曼德拉和非洲人国民大会的其他领导人也被判处终身监禁并被流放到罗本岛。当时丹尼斯被种族隔离政府描述为南非最危险的白人。丹尼斯于2002年退休到豪特湾，并将他的余生致力于通过艺术支持豪特湾社区的青年发展。
Denis Goldberg is a revered figure in South African liberation politics. He was the only white person sentenced to life imprisonment at the infamous Rivonia Trial in 1963 which also saw Nelson Mandela and other leaders of the African National Congress sentenced to life imprisonment and banished to Robben Island. At the time Denis was described by the Apartheid government as the most dangerous white man in South Africa. Denis retired to Hout Bay in 2002 and devoted the remainder of his life to supporting youth development through the arts in the Hout Bay community.
丹尼斯-戈德堡希望之家代表了这种参与青年艺术发展的高潮。新的中心坐落在一个美丽的、绿树成荫的地方，周围有一些文物建筑，包括由省政府Iziko博物馆管理的豪特湾历史博物馆。分配给新建筑的区域位于场地的后面，建在现有的双网球场上。为了使它的环境有形，该建筑被设计成一个开放的建筑–为了实现这一目标，我们使大大小小的空间都藏在一个有顶的走道下面，四面都向场地开放。这样一来，建筑空间就能呼吸到外面的空气，并能欣赏到场地的景色。最大的空间容纳了丹尼斯-戈德堡的生活展览，他的艺术收藏，一个教学空间，以及一个容纳图书馆和档案的夹层区域。
The Denis Goldberg House of Hope represents the culmination of this engagement with youth arts development. The new center is on a beautiful, treed site surrounded by heritage buildings including the Hout Bay History Museum run by the provincial Government Iziko Museums. The area allocated for the new building is located at the back of the site and has been built on the existing double tennis courts. To make tangible its setting the building has been designed as an open building – to achieve this we have made small and large spaces which are tucked in beneath a covered walkway open to the site on all sides. In this way, the building spaces breathe out and take in views of the site. The largest space accommodates the exhibition of Denis Goldberg`s life, his art collection, a teaching space, and a mezzanine area that accommodates a library and archive.
夹层空间在空间上与下面的空间相连，所以使用图书馆的人总是知道下面正在发生什么。所有这些空间都是相连的，所有的功能可以同时发生。在这个意义上，它是一个社会的浓缩器，就像俄罗斯建筑师如康斯坦丁-梅尔尼科夫在20世纪20年代设计的那种社区建筑。一个非等级化的空间已经建立起来，画廊/博物馆的参观者将同时与在同一空间内参加艺术课的儿童擦肩而过。这个空间通过大的滑动门通向外部空间，一边是分层座位，另一边是一个小舞台。这使得内部区域的面积扩大了一倍，可以很容易地容纳大量的观众举行音乐会和其他此类活动。
The mezzanine space is spatially connected to the space below so that people using the library are always aware of what is happening below. All these spaces are connected, and all the functions can happen simultaneously. In this sense, it is a social condenser like the kinds of community buildings designed by Russian architects such as Constantine Melnikov in the 1920s`. A non-hierarchical space has been established and visitors to the gallery/museum will simultaneously rub shoulders with children taking part in art lessons within the same space. This space opens out through large sliding doors to an outside space with tiered seating on one side and a small stage on the other. This enables the inside area to double in size and will easily accommodate large audiences for concerts and other such activities.
建筑物的处理非常简单，涂成白色，用颜色的区域来突出入口和其他重要的门槛。建筑是直截了当的，材料的使用没有任何矫揉造作，在使用过程中记住了丹尼斯作为工程师的培训，以及他对生活和建筑工程中的伪装的厌恶。我们希望这个建筑的组合方式能代表丹尼斯-戈德堡的价值观和他的生活，并将作为他美好生活的见证而存在。
The buildings are treated very simply, painted white with areas of color to highlight entrances and other important thresholds. The construction is straightforward, and materials are used without artifice remembering in their use Denis`s training as an engineer and his abhorrence of pretense in both life and building works. We hope that the way in which the building has been put together represents Denis Goldberg`s values and his life and will live as a testament to his wonderful life.
