闻名遐迩的Birr镇，位于Offaly郡，拥有中世纪历史及格鲁吉亚遗迹，自19世纪以来一直是爱尔兰的太阳系之眼。Birr城堡，曾是中世纪的关键要塞，如今植被茂盛，草木环绕，景色静谧，风光优美，从12世纪开始，Birr城堡一直处于镇中心位置。

The town of Birr, a historic market town located in County Offaly, with its medieval roots and Georgian textures, has been Ireland’s eye to the solar systems from the 19th century. Birr Castle, once a medieval stronghold and now a tranquil oasis of mature trees and gardens, has been at the heart of Birr since the 12th Century.

状如巨石的罗斯望远镜，也叫利维坦望远镜，仍然自豪地屹立在这片历史悠久的土地上，与现代伸缩望远镜线阵并列排开，后者即爱尔兰-欧洲项I-LOFAR项目的望远镜。

The Rosse telescope, also known as the Leviathan, a stone folly which still proudly stands on these historic grounds, side by side with the modern array of telescopic antenna, the Irish-European I-LOFAR telescope project.

Palmer山的谷仓是一个不起眼的建筑，曾是传统活动的日常聚会场所，坐落在繁茂的百年老树之间，紧靠激流湍急的Camcor河岸，镶嵌在Birr城堡花园蜿蜒的山脉中。

The Mount Palmer Barn, a modest structure, that was once the daily meeting place for traditional demesne ac­tivities, is nestled between mature champion trees, on the edge of the vibrant river Camcor, carved into the gently rolling hills of Birr Castle Gardens.

这座建筑现在是一个教育中心和科学中心，处于望远镜阵列上方的天然有利位置，这里可欣赏到古老花园的壮丽景色。

The building is now a thriving education centre and science hub, located at a natural vantage point above the telescopic array, with stunning views across the historic garden landscape.

设计方法是通过在这种适度的结构中，应用可逆的现代装饰肌理，来保护Palmer山谷仓的历史遗迹和周边环境。

Our approach was conserving the historic fabric and setting of Mount Palmer Barn, by applying a reversible, modern patina of textures to this modest structure.

使用石灰膏、天然石板和全新的硬木木窗，装饰外墙表层。而在内部，置入独立的现代轻质骨架，与厚重的石墙形成对比，以支持游客体验和临时活动。

A new external skin of lime plaster, natural slates, and new hardwood timber windows were applied. Internally a new lightweight modern carcass, standing indepen­dent and contrasting from the thick stone walls, adds a functional support to modern activities and the visitor’s experience.

庭院由古老的石墙包围，无需格外维护，为教育中心提供了宜人的户外环境，它们由石头坐凳、碎石子和腐蚀过的金属网片共同组成。

A low maintenance landscaped courtyard, enclosed by the historic stone walls of the yard, provides the setting for the education centre, with external seating, textured stone chippings and a corroded metal layer.
