一幢规整方正的建筑低调地退后几步，

A neatly squared building quietly steps back a few paces,

不易觉察地隐藏在浓密的树荫中。

Hiding inconspicuously within dense tree shadows.

雷士德医学院，全名雷士德医学研究院，设计于1930年、竣工使用于1933年。院内设立生理学分部、病理学分部临床研究与实验手术分部等医学专业部门，先后在此从事科研工作的有国内外著名生理学家伊伯恩、蔡翘、沈霁春，病毒学家汤飞凡等。1957年，改名上海医药工业研究院。1994年，雷士德医学院旧址被公布为上海市第二批优秀历史建筑。

 

Lester Institute for Medical Research was designed in 1930 and completed for use in 1933. The institute housed physiology, pathology, clinical research, and experimental surgery departments, among other medical specialities. Renowned physiologists such as Boen Yi, Qiao Cai, Jichun Shen, and virologist Feifan Tang have conducted research here. In 1957, it was renamed Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry. In 1994, the old site of Lester Institute for Medical Research was designated as one of the second batch of outstanding historical buildings in Shanghai.

雷士德医学院以现代派风格为主，是一幢方形体量建筑，局部细节带有装饰艺术派风格特征。这座建筑是雷士德为上海留下的重要历史文化遗产，也是体现上海近代多元建筑风格的重要组成部分。

 

Lester Institute for Medical Research, primarily in the modernist style, is a square-shaped building with some decorative elements reflecting the characteristics of the Art Deco style. This building stands as an important historical and cultural heritage left by Henry Lester in Shanghai, embodying a crucial component of the diverse architectural styles of modern Shanghai.

 

 

 

 

 

 

雷士德医学院建筑主立面呈中轴对称形式，立面造型简洁，局部构件作了几何化的装饰线脚处理。为恢复当年建筑外立面的历史风貌，此次修缮根据不同部位、不同材质污染损坏的程度，采取相应的工艺进行处理，尽量保留原始痕迹与沧桑感，同时达到外立面的整体和谐。

 

The main facade of Lester Institute for Medical Research is symmetrical along the central axis, featuring a simple architectural design with geometric decorative details on certain components. To restore the historical appearance of the building’s exterior facade, the restoration work this time adopted corresponding techniques based on the degree of pollution and damage to different parts and materials. The goal was to preserve the original traces and sense of history while achieving overall harmony in the facade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

项目依托原雷士德医学院旧址，将筹建和睦家医院静安院区，原雷士德医学院主楼将承载学术交流、医学会议、门诊诊疗等功能。通过对原雷士德医学院主楼进行保护修缮、室内装修和环境提升，完成了对历史风貌的延续和建筑的传承，恢复了建筑历史风貌；结合当代办公、会议、交流的功能需求，优化机电设备和环境，提升了建筑的使用性能。

 

Based on the former site of Lester Institute for Medical Research, the project will establish the United Family Hospital Jing’an Campus. The main building of the former Lester Institute for Medical Research will accommodate functions such as academic exchange, medical conferences, and outpatient treatment. Through protective restoration, interior decoration, and environmental enhancement of the original main building, the continuation of historical appearance and architectural heritage has been achieved, restoring the historical charm of the building. Integrating contemporary needs for office spaces, meetings, and exchanges, optimization of mechanical and electrical equipment, and environmental improvements have enhanced the building’s usability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

上海近代医院类建筑是上海这座城市历史与文化的重要载体之一。它们以其丰富的数量、多样的类别以及独特的建筑风格，不仅为上海增添了浓厚的文化底蕴，更是上海近现代医学发展的生动见证。

 

The modern hospital buildings in Shanghai are one of the important carriers of the city’s history and culture. With their abundant quantity, diverse categories, and unique architectural styles, they not only add rich cultural heritage to Shanghai but also vividly witness the development of modern medicine in Shanghai.

The Delicate Texture Left Behind by the Passage of Time

雷士德医学院南立面两侧主体部分通过三层通高的巨型壁柱塑造出竖直方向的线条，竖向的黑色长条钢窗以及与同样材质的黑色窗下墙装饰板共同强化了这种竖向的秩序。壁柱与长窗均匀排列形成庄重典雅的秩序，窗下墙通过锯齿形、波浪形等几何形式进行装饰，具有装饰艺术派的特征。

 

The southern facade of Lester Institute for Medical Research features main sections on both sides characterized by three-story tall colossal pilasters, shaping vertical lines. Vertical black steel windows and black decorative panels below the windows of the same material enhance this vertical order. The pilasters and tall windows are evenly arranged, forming a dignified and elegant order. The panels below the windows are decorated with geometric forms such as sawtooth and wave shapes, exhibiting characteristics of the Art Deco style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

设计团队通过历史照片发现，原建筑主入口两侧最初立有一对铜灯柱。铜灯柱的中间是卷涡形纹样，为典型的装饰艺术派风格。经过90年岁月洗刷，灯柱已不复存在，本次修缮将依据历史照片，复原入口灯柱，完整恢复历史建筑的原有风貌。

 

The design team discovered from historical photographs that originally, there were a pair of copper lamp posts standing on either side of the main entrance of the building. The lamp posts featured a spiral pattern in the middle, typical of the Art Deco style. After 90 years, these lamp posts have vanished. In this restoration project, based on historical photographs, the entrance lamp posts will be reconstructed, fully restoring the original appearance of the historic building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

修缮历史建筑，清洗是一项颇为重要的工程，为恢复建筑外立面的历史风貌，对雷士德医学研究院的修缮根据不同部位、不同材质污染损坏的程度，采取相应的工艺进行处理，并对大部分损坏的水刷石墙面进行翻做，在尽量保留原始痕迹与沧桑感的同时，达到外立面的整体和谐。

 

Cleaning is a crucial undertaking in the restoration of historical buildings. To restore the historical appearance of the building’s exterior facade, the restoration of Lester Institute for Medical Research involves different techniques tailored to the degree of pollution and damage across various parts and materials. Most damaged water-washed stone walls are being reworked to preserve the original traces and sense of age while achieving overall harmony in the facade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

近百年历史的雷士德医学院经过二十余年的时光，首次进行了大规模修缮，再次重返大众视野。在秉持修旧如旧的原则下，这座上海市优秀历史建筑不仅在外立面与周边环境中实现了和谐共处，同时也恢复了室内的风格与细节。无论是外观的焕然一新还是内部的历史风貌，雷士德医学院将继续承载并延续其百年来的医学研究功能。

 

Over the past twenty years, with nearly a century of history, Lester Institute for Medical Research underwent its first large-scale renovation, returning to the public eye. Adhering to the principle of preserving its original character, this distinguished historical building in Shanghai achieved harmonious coexistence with its surroundings in terms of its façade and environment and restored its interior style and details. Whether it’s the refreshed exterior or the restored historical ambiance within, Lester Institute for Medical Research will continue to uphold and perpetuate its century-old medical research mission.

Balancing Rationalism and Decorative Style in Interior Spaces

▼

 

 

 

雷士德医学院内部的门厅、东侧礼堂、阶梯教室、西侧图书馆、两侧楼梯间等都是重点保护空间。直线条无处不在，顶灯压花玻璃间的铸铁灯框，屋顶吊顶的石膏线，黑钢窗框的装饰与把手，无不用直线条中蕴含的理智与冷峻之意，向进入此栋建筑的人暗示着这里的医学院特征。

 

The lobby, east auditorium, staircase classrooms, west library, and staircases on both sides within Lester Institute for Medical Research are all key protected areas. Straight lines are ubiquitous, from the cast iron lamp frames in the pressed glass ceiling lights to the plaster molding on the roof’s ceiling, and from the decorations and handles on the black steel window frames. They all convey a sense of rationality and severity inherent in straight lines, subtly indicating to those entering this building the characteristics of a medical college. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

原图书馆空间在修缮前相较历史原状有较大改动，已经被分割为若干贵宾室和会议室。本次修缮恢复了原有大空间，对内墙下部木护壁、钢窗、灯具等历史原物均进行了保护修缮，依据历史照片恢复了柱身原有线条装饰。修缮后的西侧原图书馆恢复了原有格局，资料照片中成排的书架间顶天立地般的柱子尤为醒目。

 

Before the restoration, the original library space underwent significant alterations, divided into several VIP and meeting rooms. In this restoration project, the original large space has been reinstated. Historical artifacts such as the wooden wainscoting on the lower part of the interior walls, steel windows, and light fixtures have all been protected and restored. The original linear decorations on the columns have been restored based on historical photographs. After restoration, the west wing of the former library has regained its original layout, with rows of bookshelves and towering columns as particularly striking features, as depicted in archival photographs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

值得一提的是，从历史照片中可见，原图书馆木护壁的壁龛格栅装饰图案为雷士德医学院英文名称的缩写“LIMR”和预计竣工年份“1932”（实际竣工为1933年），本次修缮中也延续了这一颇有纪念意义的做法。

 

It is worth noting that from historical photographs, it can be seen that the decorative pattern on the wooden wainscoting niches in the original library bears the abbreviated English name of Lester Institute for Medical Research “LIMR” and the estimated completion year “1932” (actually completed in 1933). This meaningful practice has also been continued in this restoration project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

依据一些历史照片和现存原物，修缮工程对重点保护空间的室内原有格局和细节将完整保留：如，对门厅的天花藻井、两侧大空间的柱头装饰、两侧走道木护壁，木门窗等历史原物都将进行保护修缮；恢复原门厅内的水磨石地面和图案样式。

 

Based on historical photographs and existing artifacts, the restoration project will fully preserve the original layout and details of the key protected spaces. For instance, historical artifacts such as the coffered ceiling in the lobby, decorative capitals on columns in the large spaces on both sides, wooden wainscoting in the corridors, and wooden doors and windows, will all undergo protective restoration. Additionally, the terrazzo flooring and pattern styles in the original lobby will be restored.

 

 

 

 

 

 

当年装饰主义风格在立柱的细节上展露无遗，柱帽上的直线条给原本光滑的柱体表面带来了多变、有趣的意味，也让柱体更显修长，富有灵气，削弱了原本可能有的粗笨之感。由笔直的线条和方正的折角构成的顶灯给人带来的重量感不言而喻，正是如此的“重工”，才让这些灯穿越历史的迷雾。

 

The decorative style of yesteryears manifests abundantly in the details of the columns. The straight lines on the column capitals add a variable and intriguing significance to the otherwise smooth surface of the columns, making them appear more slender-spirited, and lessening any potential sense of bulkiness. The pendant lights, characterized by straight lines and square angles, unmistakably convey a sense of weightiness. It is precisely this “heaviness” that allows these lights to transcend the mists of history.

 

 

 

 

 

 

值得一提的是，雷士德医学院的其他空间，虽不是重点保护部位，也都体现了建筑的室内风格特点，尤其是各层“U字形”的贯通走道，是这一历史建筑空间格局的重要体现。目前，二、三走道被两侧房间占据，吊顶较低，空间感受颇为逼仄，在修缮中将恢复原有走道尺度，再现历史建筑装饰简洁、空间宽敞的特征。

 

It’s worth mentioning that other spaces within Reistad Medical College, though not designated as key protected areas, also reflect the interior stylistic features of the building. Especially noteworthy are the “U-shaped” corridors that run through each floor, which are important manifestations of the spatial layout of this historic building. Currently, the second and third-floor corridors are occupied by rooms on both sides, with relatively low ceilings and a cramped feeling. During the restoration, the original dimensions of these corridors will be restored, recreating the historical building’s characteristics of simple decoration and spaciousness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

百年建筑历史与现代医学发展在此交汇，它们共同构筑起了一个独特的空间，让当下的人们在感受其文化内涵与魅力的同时，也为穿越历史尘埃而来的科技之光深深震撼。

 

The convergence of a century of architectural history and modern medical development here has forged a unique space. It allows contemporary people to experience its cultural essence and charm, while deeply being amazed by the light of technology that transcends the dust of history.
