After your brilliant answer yesterday, I would greatly appreciate help with this:
"Das Grundstück des studentischen Freizeitzentrums wird durch
gegenläufige städtebauliche Raster gekennzeichnet, die die Architekten
bewusst überlappen lassen und ihren Baukörper als ein Gebilde
inszenieren, das einen zuweilen an einen gestrandeten Wal denken
lassen kann. Es ist ein aus formal und räumlich unterschiedlichen
Gebäudefragmenten zusammengesetztes und gefaltetes Volumen. Den
zentralen Erschliessungskanal gestalteten die Architekten als leicht
ondulierenden Strang, der aus den sich in diesem Bereich verdichtenden
Bewegungen der Studenten und Studentinnen einen Ort der sozialen
Begegnung entstehen lässt. Der Komplex bietet räumlich oft unerwartete
Ein- und Durchblicke: So steht eine Besucherin beim Haupteingang des
Studentenwohnheims beispielsweise plötzlich vor einer Fenstergruppe,
die den Blick auf das grosse Schwimmbad frei gibt, während man bei
einem Drink an der Saftbar den Aktivitäten an der Kletterwand
zuschauen kann."

Dear leander1,

I'm glad to know that the results of my work useful for you, thank you
very much. I'll do my best not to disappoint you. And here is the
newest translation:

The site of the collegiate recreational centre is characterized by
urbanistic grids aligned with opposite directions, which the
architects let deliberately overlap; furthermore, they arrange their
structure in a shape that sometimes reminds the observer of a stranded
whale. It is a folded volume composed of formally and spacially
different structural fragments. The architects designed the central
access channel as a slightly winded line that forms a place to
socialize from this area where the flow of students concentrates.
Spacially, the complex holds views and perspectives that are often
unexpected. At the dormitory's main entrance, for example, a visitor
will suddenly stand before a group of windows opening to the great
swimming pool; and it is possible to watch the action at the climbing
wall while having a drink at the fruit juice bar.

Best regards,
Scriptor
