田园学校/北京四中房山校区,北京,中国

Garden School/Beijing No.4 High School Fangshan Campus, Beijing, China, 2014

以创造更多充满自然的开放空间的设计为出发点,加上场地的空间限制,激发了我们在垂直方向上创建多层地面的设计策略。学校的功能空间被组织成上下两部分,日常教学空间漂浮在地面上的根茎状巨构之中,食堂、礼堂、体育馆等大体量公共空间则被放到半地下,它们的屋顶成为起伏的花园,与教学楼屋顶的农田一起,构成“田园学校”。

The desire to create more open spaces filled with nature-something that today's urban Chinese students desperately need-combined with the site's spatial limitations inspired a strategy along the vertical dimension.The idea was to create multiple grounds by separating the programmes into the"upper"and"lower"and inserting gardens in between.The juxtaposition of the upper and lower building,connected at the"middle-ground"in various ways,is as much an interesting spatial strategy as a signifier of the relationship between formal and informal educational spaces in the new school.
