架构师提供的文本描述。加纳阿桑蒂地区的阿贝特尼姆村入口处正在修建一所新学校。它的图书馆是由法国建筑师莫德·卡纳特(Maude Canat)和蕾切尔·梅奥(Rachel Méau)设计的，该图书馆是用土木和木材等当地材料建造的。

Text description provided by the architects. A new school is being built at the entrance of Abetenim’s village, in Ghana’s Ashanti Region. Its library, built with local materials such as earth and wood, was designed by French architects Maude Cannat and Rachel Méau, first prize winners of the 2016 Earth Architecture Competition.

只有9000欧元的资金筹集预算和现场没有电力，创新和创造力被用来节约资源和聪明地建造；使用环境友好型建筑，高效的建筑，经常重新使用当地材料，以及宝贵的精明交易。

With only a 9000-euros fund-raised budget and no electricity on site, innovation and creativity were employed to conserve resources and build cleverly; using environmentally friendly architecture, water-efficient construction, often repurposed local materials, and precious savoir-faire trading.

厚厚的，夯实的土墙，用高而窄的窗户穿插，使图书馆与外界隔绝，而不暴露里面隐藏的东西。当你进入的时候，你发现在一个清凉的气氛中，两个空间连接在一个被美化的庭院周围，等待着被学校的孩子们使用。第一个层次与入口相同，是学习和研究的理想选择。第二个，由梯级台阶雕刻而成的中空空间，邀请参观者坐下来阅读。

Thick, rammed earth walls pierced with tall, narrow windows insulate the library from the outside without revealing what is hidden inside. As you enter, you discover in a light and cool atmosphere two spaces connected around a landscaped patio, waiting to be used by the school children. The first one, on the same level as the entrance, is ideal for studying and research. The second one, in a hollow space sculpted by terraced steps, invites the visitor to sit for a reading session.

图书馆和它的家具是一个完整的整体：木制书架直接整合在墙壁上，膨胀的窗户也可以作为座位，一张长长的工作台沿着露台墙排列。独立的屋顶和垂直窗户提供通风，而土墙结构确保冷却循环整个建筑物。

The library and its furniture form one whole entity: the wooden bookshelves are directly integrated in the walls, the flared window embrasures can also serve as seating, and a long working table runs along the patio wall. The detached roofing and vertical windows provide ventilation, while the earthen wall structure ensures that coolness circulates through the entire building.

为了节约资源，一切都经过精心规划。因此，为地基提取的土在墙壁上用金属板压实，木质形式被重新用作地板，抢救材料被用于图书馆的门和所有木材的修整。

Everything was carefully planned to conserve resources. Thus, the earth extracted for the foundation was compacted with metal panels in the walls, the wood forms were reused for the flooring, and salvage materials were used for the doors and all the wood finishing touches of the library.

负责该组织的建筑师们召集了一支由30名国际志愿者和12名当地工人组成的团队，在为期4个月的时间里共同工作。图书馆的建设是村里第一个支持未来学校的工作坊。从那时起，埃斯卡皮大楼旁边的三个不同的国际小组又建造了三间教室。

The architects in charge of the organization eskaapi gathered a team of thirty international volunteers and a dozen local workers to work together during a four-month period. The library’s construction was the first workshop led in the village to support the future school. Since then, three more classrooms were built by three different international teams next to eskaapi’s building.
