架构师提供的文本描述。JaiJagat剧院的建造被设想为庆祝Sabarmati道场100周年的一部分。1917年，甘地决定在萨巴马蒂河附近的监狱和火葬场之间建立自己的社区。从那时起，甘地对教育的强烈看法就在道场得到了实践-发展身体、心智和精神。今天在沙巴玛蒂道场生活或学习的1500名儿童仍然以同样的哲学接受教育。

Text description provided by the architects. Jai Jagat theatre construction was envisioned as part of the celebration for the 100 years of Sabarmati Ashram. It was in 1917 that Gandhiji decided to establish his community living here, near the river Sabarmati, between a prison and a crematorium. Since then that Gandhiji’s strong vision on education was practiced at the Ashram - to develop body, mind, and spirit. The 1500 children that today live or study at Sabarmati Ashram are still taught with the same philosophy.

 Floor plan

Jai Jagat剧院是这一教育理念的一部分；它为学生提供了一个机会来练习他们的表演技巧，在对公众讲话时获得信心，在集体中工作，受到纪律和娱乐。与来自附近社区的孩子们一起，Sabarmati Ashram的学生不再需要前往该市的遥远地方排练他们的戏剧。JaiJagat剧院现在是他们练习表演、做集体练习或玩游戏的地方。这是一个表达的地方。这是一个里程碑式的教育，是“儿童和人在身体、精神和精神方面的全面发展”(甘地)

Jai Jagat theatre is part of this education philosophy; it provides the students with an opportunity to practice their performance skills, to gain confidence while addressing the public, to work in a group, to be disciplined and to have fun. Together with children from the nearby communities, the students of Sabarmati Ashram no longer have to travel to far places of the city to rehearse their plays. Jai Jagat theatre is now the place where they practice their performances, do group exercises, or play games. It is a place for expression. It is a landmark for an education that is “an all-round drawing of the best in child and man in body, mind, and spirit” (Gandhiji)

圆形剧场矗立的地方是高耸的喷嚏树和简单的地面建筑。其中之一就是蒙特梭利学校。1936年，甘地在伦敦与蒙台梭利夫人会面后，这所学校于1936年左右在萨巴马蒂修道成立。他对她的教育方法印象深刻(以儿童为导向，专注于整个孩子的发展)，并决定在道场实施。这所学校工作了很多年，最近转成了艺术教育工作室。建筑周围的树木为这一地区提供了阴凉处，栖息着令人难以置信的各种鸟类和其他动物，创造了一个非常特殊和平的环境。

The site where the amphitheater stands is marked by high neem trees and simple grounded buildings. One of these buildings is the Montessori school. This school was established at the Sabarmati ashram around 1936, after Gandhiji met Madam Montessori at London in 1931. He was impressed by her education method (child-oriented and focused on the development of the whole child) and decided to implement it at the ashram. The school worked for many years and it was recently converted to studios for arts’ education. The trees that surround the building provide shade to the area and house an incredible variety of birds and other animals, creating a very special and peaceful environment.

竞技场的建筑(位于蒙台梭利学校旁边)旨在保持这个地方的精神。从外面看，剧院只是一堵简单的白色墙，有着适度的人道规模。在此之前，这条路线是通过一条砖砌的通道修建的，在现有的树下设计，并把其他建筑物连接起来，作为图书馆和学校。沿着这条路，不同的壁龛邀请人们坐下来观察大自然。更大的空间，有座位的区域，欢迎小聚会或暂停一起吃饭。这条路慢慢地变成一个更大的区域，一个广场，它预示着圆形剧场，成为一个大厅，一个活动或非正式排练的空间。进入剧院的通道是通过墙的两个瞬间之间的间隙完成的，一个坡道把我们引向空间的中心。随着螺旋运动，这面墙展开，围绕着舞台和观众，放置在地下的一个水平。周围的树木和元素，如学校或高水箱，仍然存在于剧院的内部，因为包含空间的墙会起伏并打开，从而形成对外界的看法。墙壁有不同的时刻和开口，它是有趣的，互动的和规模的儿童。它被认为是参与和加强戏剧，作为场景的一部分，并提供不同的入口和出口的表演(朱丽叶阳台，楼梯或开口)。但它也是谦虚和沉默，因此可以作为一个地方见面，交谈或只是一个人。

The architecture of the amphitheater (located next to the Montessori school) aims to maintain the spirit of this place. From outside, the theatre is just a simple white wall with a modest humane scale. The route until this point is made through a brick pathway, designed below the existing trees and connecting other buildings of the ashram, as a library and a school. Along the pathway, the different niches invite people to sit and observe the nature. Bigger spaces with seating areas welcome small gatherings or a pause for eating together. This path slowly transforms into a larger area, a plaza, that anticipates the amphitheater and that becomes a foyer, a space for events or for informal rehearsals. The entry to the theatre is done through a gap between two moments of the wall and a ramp leads us down to the center of the space. With a movement of a spiral, this wall unfolds and surrounds the stage and the audience, placed at a level below ground. The surrounding trees and elements, like the school or a high water tank, are still present in the interior of the theatre because the wall that contains the space undulates and opens up to create points of view towards the outside. The wall has different moments and openings, it is fun, interactive and at the scale of the children. It was thought to participate and enhance the plays, to be part of the scenario and to provide different points of entry and exit to the shows (a Juliet balcony, stairs or an opening). But it is also modest and silent, and therefore can be used as a place to meet, to talk or to just be alone.

为了保持场地的宁静和不与周围的建筑竞争，圆形竞技场被设计为地下一半(1，83米)，与外墙高度相同。由于它被掩埋并位于场地的最低层，因此设计了一个能够收集70 000升雨水的水箱。季风期间收集的水将用于灌溉剧院周围地区种植的许多土著树木。

To maintain the serenity of the place and to not compete with the surrounding buildings, the amphitheater was designed half below ground (1,83 m), the same dimension of the exterior wall height. Because it is buried and located in the lowest level of the site, a tank with the capacity to harvest 70 000 liters of rainwater was designed below the stage. The water collected during the monsoon will be used to irrigate the many indigenous trees that were planted in the area that surrounds the theatre.

Jai Jagat剧院于2017年10月2日(甘地的生日)开幕，由Sabarmati Ashram和邻近社区的儿童表演甘地的生活。三百人(竞技场的容量)享受了演出和空间。那是一个美妙的时刻，充满了喜悦。演出结束后，孩子们在舞台上跳舞和庆祝。观众们缓缓地通过坡道走出剧院，漫步在小路上，聚集在座位上，回忆着演出，并在萨巴马蒂道场享受着这一平静的时刻。

Jai Jagat theatre was inaugurated on 2nd October 2017 (Gandhiji’s birthday) with a performance about the life of Gandhi, by children from Sabarmati Ashram and the neighboring communities. Three hundred people (the capacity of the amphitheater) enjoyed the show and space. It was a wonderful moment, full of joy. After the show, the children danced and celebrated on the stage. The audience slowly exited the theatre through the ramp and strolled the pathways, gathering on the seating areas, remembering the show, and enjoying this peaceful moment at Sabarmati Ashram.
