架构师提供的文本描述。伯门斯多夫小学的教学指导方针导致了一种创新和独特的建筑解释。教室顺序刺激了不同教室之间的互动，并在课堂上提供了开放性、灵活性和多样性。这些房间在视觉上和物理上都与不断学习的景观相连接。这一惊人的音量使每个教室都有了额外的立面，增加了自然照明和太阳能的收益。这一措施导致了一个结构化和小规模的内部，创造了退却的地方，创造了学习的利基，并给学生一种安全感而不影响总体方向。

Text description provided by the architects. The pedagogical guidelines of the primary school in Birmensdorf led to an innovative and unique architectural interpretation. The room sequence stimulates the interaction amongst the different classrooms and offers openness, flexibility and versatility during class. The rooms are visually and physically connected to a continuous learning landscape. The staggering volume allows each classroom to have an additional façade, increasing natural lighting and solar gains. This measure leads to a structured and small-scale interior, creates places of retreat, generates learning niches and gives the students a feeling of security without compromising overall orientation.

将建筑物放置在地块的东北角和微妙的斜坡上，就可以创建一个桥墩。正门位于这里，面向现有的学校校园。校园向西倾斜。如果学校将来扩建，它将成为哈德纳赫学校的中心。公共路径在建筑物周围流动，并将其整合到公共路径和街道网络中。

The placement of the building in the northeastern corner of the plot and the subtle slope allows the creation of a plinth. The main entrance is located here, oriented towards the existing school campus. The schoolyard is placed westerly. In case of a future expansion of the school, it is set to become the center of the Haldenacher schools. Public paths flow around the building and integrate it into the public network of paths and streets.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

作为对地形的反应和功能的安排，建筑物被划分为一个基础层和两个上层。窗带，运行着建筑物的长度，模糊了内部和外部空间之间的门槛，给建筑一个水平的表达。混凝土基座厚度向地面增加，对上部地板的悬臂木覆层起着抗衡作用。入口的标志是体积和由此产生的悬臂的挫折。天窗，以及烟囱，从平顶突出，创造了一个雕塑屋顶景观，类似于工程的体积表现。

As a reaction to the topography and conditioned by the arrangement of the functions, the building is divided into a base level and two upper floors. The window bands, running the length of the building, blur the threshold between interior and exterior space, giving the building a horizontal expression. The thickness of the concrete plinth increases towards the ground and acts as the counterweight to the cantilevering wood cladding of the upper floors. The entrances are marked by setbacks in the volume and the resulting cantilevers. Skylights, as well as chimneys, protrude from the flat roof and create, analogous to the volumetric expression of the project, a sculptural roofscape.

该程序分为两部分。教室和多功能厅位于上层，而教师、治疗室和音乐室位于底层。大楼东南角的另一个入口允许在上课时间以外进入后几个房间。送货入口是从哈德纳赫街到达的。

The program is divided into two parts. The classrooms and multipurpose hall are situated on the upper floors, while the teachers’, therapy and music rooms are located on the ground floor. An additional entrance in the southeast corner of the building gives access to the latter rooms outside of school hours. The delivery entrance is reached from the Haldenacher street.

木质外墙的颜色和纹理与白色室内分隔墙的光滑外观形成鲜明对比。这些墙壁作为吸声表面，包括隔间和架子，水槽，门，窗帘和建筑设备的壁龛，衣柜，甚至像厕所，二次房间和电梯。带有明亮、半透明窗帘的玻璃墙将永不接触、表现力强的外墙与平静的内墙连接起来。这所学校的核心是四个学习领域。他们可以灵活地使用，或者作为扩展的教室，作为社会互动的空间，或者作为内部休息室。壁炉位于一楼的学习区，标志着学校的集体中心。它加强了儿童和教师的共存，创造了一种家庭气氛，而不仅仅是实现学校的目标。

The color and grain of the wood façade contrast with the sleek appearance of the white painted interior division walls. These walls function as noise absorbing surfaces and include cubicles and shelves, sinks, doors, niches for curtains and building equipment, wardrobes, and even rooms like toilets, secondary rooms, and the elevator. Glass walls with light, translucent curtains bridge the gap between the never touching expressive exterior façade and the calm interior walls. The centerpiece of the school are the four learning areas. They can be used in a flexible way, either as extended classrooms, as space for social interactions or as interior break rooms. A fireplace is located in the learning area on the first floor and marks the collective center of the school. It reinforces the coexistence of children and teachers and creates a homely atmosphere, which goes beyond the mere fulfillment of the purpose of a school.
