洛桑新使徒教堂的扩建项目是为了突出现有建筑的内在品质。我们认为必须遵循清晰的对角线，这是其空间组织和流线的基础，也是其决定性的特征。

The extension of Lausanne’s New Apostolic Church was designed to draw out the existing building’s intrinsic qualities. We felt it was essential to follow the clear diagonal lines that underpin the organisation of its spaces and circulation flows, and which are its defining features.

新建筑的构思旨在尊重和保留其现有的空间概念，同时增加现代的明亮和开放的品质。扩建工程与现有结构的翻新同步进行，以便将旧有的品质与前瞻性的愿景相结合。

The new building was conceived in a way that seeks to honour and preserve its existing spatial concepts, while at the same time adding a contemporary quality of lightness and openness. The extension went in tandem with a renovation of the existing structure, so as to combine the qualities of the old with a forward-looking vision.

现有的门厅被保留，并在地面上进行了扩建。为了保留现有建筑的精神，保留带有转角楼梯的主要流通渠道是非常重要的；这些楼梯被修复，并安装了更轻、更透明的栏杆。新的入口设置在西南角。宽敞的新门厅使人们可以清楚地看到正在进行的各种活动，并在一个向外界开放的动态空间中欢迎社区。

The existing foyer is retained and expanded at ground level. Retaining the main circulation flow with its corner staircases was important, in order to preserve the spirit of the existing building; these staircases were restored and fitted with lighter and more transparent balustrades. The new entrance is set in the south-west corner. The spacious new foyer gives a clear view of the various activities taking place and welcomes the community in a dynamic space that is open to the outside world.

该建筑的新形式包括从教堂四角延伸出来的两个侧翼，扩大了地面上的门厅，使其向新的入口延伸。其中一个三角翼结合了现有的电梯，并与另一翼的顶端相接，后者容纳了新的多功能厅。这个交汇点位于拐角处，在教堂前创造了一个有顶的广场，新的入口就位于那里。教堂看起来就像长在翅膀上的高空–正在打开的翅膀，以欢迎游客。从象征意义上讲，这个新形象意味着开放和飞行，连接着地球和天堂。

The building’s new form comprises two wings extending from the corners of the church, enlarging the foyer at ground level towards the new entrance. One of these triangular wings incorporates the existing elevator and meets the tip of the other wing, which houses the new multipurpose hall. This meeting point, at the corner, creates a covered piazza in front of the church, where the new entrance is located. The church looks as though borne aloft on wings – wings that are opening, to welcome visitors. Symbolically this new image suggests openness and flight, connecting Earth and Heaven.

外墙被重新设计，以满足现在生效的新的能源效率标准，并为建筑的使用者提供最佳的热舒适度。旧的外墙已被暴露的混凝土结构所取代，颜色和纹理都很浅：建筑表达了简单和直接的物质性，使其成为一个强有力的身份声明。

The exterior façade was redesigned to meet the new energy efficiency standards now in force as well as delivering optimal thermal comfort for the building’s users. The old façade has been replaced with exposed concrete construction, lightly coloured and textured: the building expresses simple and direct materiality, making a strong statement of identity.
