新城设置与江南相贯，小学位于安亭新城的大门上。由于市区交通流量庞大，游乐场位于东面主干道附近，为新市镇提供开阔的视野。

New town setting and South Yangtze River context The elementary school is located in the gateway to Anting new town. In response to large urban traffic flow, the playground is placed near the main road on the east side as a transition, providing open views to the new town.

操场旁边的梯田由最初的“斜坡”概念演变为“台阶”，有草的“踏面”和混凝土的“冒口”。在这种情况下，斜率被保留，而一个看台的程序被满足。换句话说，景观被用作基础设施。

The cascading terraces next to the playground is evolved from the initial concept of "slope" to "steps" with grassy "tread" and concrete "riser". In this case, slope is retained while the program of a grandstand is satisfied. In other words, landscape is used as infrastructure.

位于上海和江苏边界，当地传统的江南运河镇地域主义启发建筑师发挥院落的足迹。从建筑体积、人造地形以及起伏的高度来看，这种自然的曲折展现了一幅城市全景图，孩子们在课后在操场、踏板草坪、露台和朝南的走廊上玩耍。

Situated on the boundary of Shanghai and Jiangsu, local traditional South Yangtze River canal town regionalism inspired architect to play with the courtyard house footprint. Set-back of architectural volumes, flowing of artificial topography, as well as undulating heights, such Nature-inspired twists unfold an urban panorama dotted with children playing at playground, stepped turf, terraces and south-facing corridors after class.

多个空间序列和主题庭院使学校的规划具有广泛的动态性，因此设计的重点是探索空间关系的变化和可能性。设计团队充分考虑了教师和学生的心理问题，以帮助决定开放和封闭、压抑和释放的顺序。开放的庭院、通道和运动场被精心安排，以达到深度和愉快的感觉。

Multiple spacial sequences and themed courtyards The program of school accomondates a wide spectrum of dynamics, thus the focus of design is to explore variations and possibilities in spacial relations. The design team fully considered the psychosomatics of teachers and students to help decide the scequences of openness and enclosure, suppression and release. Open courtyards, passages and sports fields are orchestrated to achieve a sense of depth and cheerfulness.

建立多个空间序列有助于鼓励儿童在不同的环境中探索。进入校园后，游客首先穿过连接整个校园的走廊，然后一个接一个地走三个多边形庭院。半开放通道具有双重环流水平，也是课外活动的重要空间.教学领域有三个主题庭院：人文、科学。

Establishing multiple sequences of spaces helps to encourage children to explore in different surroundings. Upon entering the campus, visitors go first through the corridor that connects the whole campus, then three polygonal courtyards one after another. The semi-opened passage has double circulation levels, and it is also an important space for after-class activities. There are three themed courtyards in the teaching area: humanities, science & technology and art. And three groups of labs and studios with relatively low spacing and sunshine requirements are placed around the courtyards on first floor. Canteen and administration building each has a courtyard bringing skylight in.

在教学区的第二层，高架通道被扩展为一个带有重铺游乐区的露台，使三楼和四楼的儿童能够在二楼玩耍。这些游乐区就在一楼的工作室和实验室的上方，这些特殊教室的通风口布满了儿童凳子。露台延伸到台阶上的草坪，然后是东面的操场。

On the second floor of teaching zone, the elevated passage is expanded to a terrace with rerubberized play zones, which enables children on 3rd and 4th floor to play on the second floor. These play zones are right above the studios and labs on the first floor and the air vents of those special classrooms are covered with children's stools. The terrace extends to the stepped turf and then the playground on the east.

室外道路采用传统的灰砖铺路，不同的空间特征选择了不同的几何模型。在主题庭院中采用直线元素，从走廊边缘延伸出踏脚石，而周边绿地上则有更多弯曲的小径。教学楼北侧的火巷也是砖砌的，就像藤蔓从树枝上伸展开来。入口广场和庭院周围种植了不同类型的树木，给师生带来了不同的四季空间记忆。

Outdoor paths are paved with traditional grey bricks, and different geometric motifs are chosen for different characteristics of spaces. Straight line elements are applied in the themed courtyards with stepping stone extended from the edge of the corridor while more curved paths on the periphery green area. The fire lane on the northside of the teaching building is also brick-paved, like a vine stretching itself from the bough. Different types of trees are planted around the entrance plaza and courtyards, bringing different spatial memory of four seasons to teachers and students.

建筑设计与细节教学建筑的设计强调河岸高程的深度和反射。各教学楼集中在中间，符合规范和红线要求。南立面的蓝海玻璃马赛克在阳光下呈现出丰富而精致的视觉效果，而在大规模的城市门户空间中，则把一种蛋白质和褪色的目光投向了建筑体积。

Architectural design and details Teaching building The design of the teaching buildings emphasizes the depth and the reflection of the riverside elevation. Massing of each teaching building turned in the middle to meet the code and red line requirements. The ultramarine glazed mosaics of south elevation present a rich and delicate visual effect in the sunlight, while in the large scale urban portal space, they put a protean and fading-away look to the building volume.

三座教学楼呈长而弯曲的形状。他们的典型楼层由四间教室组成，分为两间和两间。建筑物的弯曲部分向南开放，并与半开放的走廊相连，这不仅扩大了走廊的空间，而且还将视线引向北方。东方的楼梯也提供了不同的体验：它们融合在一楼的庭院中；在二楼的露台上，视野开阔；踏进三楼或四楼，人们会感觉到混凝土砖格墙的半封闭。

Three teaching buildings are in long and bended shape. Their typical floor consists of four classrooms grouped in two and two. The bending parts of the buildings are opened to the south and connected to the semi-opened corridors, which not only expands the corridor spaces but also directs the sight to the north. The staircases on the east also provide varied experience: they merge  into the courtyards at the first floor level; when on the 2nd floor terrace, sightviews open widely; stepping onto 3rd or 4th floor, one would sense half enclosure by concrete brick lattice walls.

教室的南墙宽度为600毫米，因此座位高度为300毫米和600毫米。空调隐藏在北立面铝制栅格后面。为了平衡室内照明的组成和补充室内照明，在其对称的一面采用玻璃砖。

The south wall of the classroom is 600mm in width, thus seating is integrated at the height of 300mm and 600mm. Air conditioners are hidden behind the aluminum grid in the north elevation. In order to balance the composition and supplement indoor day lighting, glass bricks are used on its symmetrical side.

音乐课堂

Music classroom & Moral education gallery As specific learning space, Pentagonal music classroom and moral education gallery are higher than normal classrooms and skylights are set on the roof. Music classroom is a combination of two pentagons, while the gallery is one pentagon classroom combined with another pentagon courtyard.

食堂也以五角大楼为原型，厨房和教师食堂在一楼，学生食堂在二楼。在学生食堂的南侧和西侧设置了面向绿地和中学的法国窗户，以拓宽视野。食堂与北面的行政大楼相连，南面的教学楼与一楼和二楼的走廊相连。在食堂东侧，走廊两侧有相同的混凝土砖格墙，营造了内向的气氛。餐厅中的五角大楼庭院引入了日光，并与走廊上的其他五角庭院形成了一个序列。不同之处在于，在教学建筑中，内表面是用同样的青色玻璃马赛克装饰的，还有通向二楼的楼梯。随着建筑物的轴线，吊顶折叠，充分利用内部净高度。

Canteen The canteen also takes pentagon as a prototype, with kitchen and teachers' canteen on the first floor and students' on the second floor. French windows facing the green area and the middle school are set on the south and west side of students' canteen to widen the view. The canteen is connected with administration building on the north and teaching building on the south by corridors on both first and second floors. On the east side of canteen, the corridor is flanked by the same concrete brick lattice wall, bringing out introverted atmosphere. The pentagon courtyard in the canteen introduces daylight and forms a sequence with other pentagonal courtyards along the corridor. The difference is that, the inner surface is decorated with the same ultramarine glazed mosaics used in teaching buildings, and there are stairs leading to the second floor. Following the axis of the building, suspended ceiling folds up and makes full use of the interior net height.

行政楼是由南北两翼组成的法院大楼，东、西各有走廊。南北高程白色墙与东西立面混凝土砖格墙形成实心与通风的对比。东立面的格子墙和体育场的白色墙塑造了正门广场。西面立面的格子墙在一定程度上遮挡了建筑物的阳光，同时也起到了与中学的完整的建筑界面的作用。再一次，在庭院的内表面涂上了青色的釉面镶嵌，在第一层的西面使用了玻璃砌块，正好对着院子的入口处。

Administration building The administration building is a court house composed of south and north wings with corridors on east and west. White wall of north-south elevation and concrete brick lattice wall of east-west elevation builds up a contrast between the solid and the airy. The lattice wall of the east elevation and the white wall of the stadium shapes the main entrance square. The lattice wall of west elevation in a way shades the building from the sunlight, meanwhile it acts as a complete architectural interface to the middle school. Again, ultramarine glazed mosaic is applied to the inner surface of the courtyard , and glass blocks are used at the west of the 1st floor, right facing the entrance of the courtyard.

健身房是一个相对简单、深度较大的运动空间.通过详细的阳光分析和方案比较，在三面设置了三扇3米的大型法国窗户，供照明和通风之用。此外，在10米高的屋顶上方，天窗又被抬高了3米，一边是抽水风扇，一边是抽水扇。

Gym The gym is a relatively simple large-depth sports space. Through detailed sunlight analysis and comparison of proposals, three large-scaled french windows up to 3 meters are set in three sides for lighting and ventilation. Besides, above the rooftop at 10 meter, skylight is elevated another three-meter above with extraction fans flanked at one side.

天窗下的穿孔金属遮阳篷技术含量低，但能有效地集成结构、管道、照明和幕墙结构。为校园最大的空间服务，天窗作为通风罩的功能，同时提供自然的照明。这种被动节能措施使健身房成为校园内最方便、最舒适、最受欢迎的场所之一。

The perforated metal sunshades under the skylight is low-tech but effectively integrates structure, pipeline, lighting and curtain wall structure. Serving the largest space on campus, the skylight functions as draft hood while provides natural lighting. Such passive energy-saving measures makes the gym one of the most user-friendly, comfortable and popular places on campus.

双重实验由于规范和普及，教育建筑(尤其是公共建筑)的设计重点在一定程度上不同于其他文化建筑或地标建筑。通过这个项目，从最初的规划，到设计和施工阶段，再到使用后的评价，设计团队不仅关注建筑本身，还试图探索如何通过校园设计来塑造和激励学生的日常学习和游戏。教育不仅是知识的获取，也是身心的发展。从这个意义上讲，同济实验小学既是教育空间的双重实验，又是教育理念的双重实验。

Dual experiment Due to norms and popularity, the design emphasis of education architecture (especially for the public ones), to a certain extent, differs from many other kinds of cultural buildings or landmarks. Through this project, from the initial planning, to design and construction stage, later to the evaluation after being put into use, the design team focuses not only on architecture itself, but trying to explore how to shape and inspire students' daily learning and playing through the campus design. Education is not only about acquisition of knowledge, but also about development of body and mind. In this sense, Tongji experimental primary school is a dual experiment of both education space and education concept.
