架构师提供的文本描述。由于现代的影响，坦桑尼亚的白话建筑正在迅速消失。几年前，马赛在作为游牧民族生活了许多代之后，被迫过着久坐不动的生活。

Text description provided by the architects. Vernacular architecture in Tanzania is quickly disappearing due to modern influences. Years ago Maasai were forced into sedentary lifestyle after living as nomads for many generations.

 General Plan

建筑正在发生变化，寻找更可持续的技术至关重要。用木棍和泥土建造的传统房屋正在被烧砖建筑所取代，因为这些建筑的使用时间更长，维护更容易。泥浆对雨水非常敏感，需要大量维修。不幸的是，新的建筑材料对环境造成了很大的破坏。这包括因烧砖所需的大量木材而非法砍伐森林。这就是为什么建立了妇女中心，作为一项总体计划的一部分，其中包括种植适应气候的树木，并提高人们对这样做的重要性的认识。

Construction is changing and the search for more sustainable techniques is essential. The traditional houses built with wooden sticks and mud are being replaced by fired brick constructions, since these are longer lasting and easier to maintain. Mud is very sensitive to rain and requires a lot of maintenance. Unfortunately, the new building materials produce a lot of environmental damage. This includes illegal deforestation due to the large quantities of wood required to fire the bricks. This is why the Women’s Centre has been built, as part of a master plan which includes the planting of trees adapted to the climate as well as raising awareness of the importance of doing this.

妇女中心是与国际妇女联合会合作设计的，该组织是一个人道主义组织，向女孩和妇女讲授关于性教育和个人卫生的讲习班，目的是作为该村妇女所有必需品的参考点。同时，它也是一个聚会场所，不同的妇女群体可以在那里储存货物并组织她们的会议。

Designed in collaboration with Femme International, a humanitarian organisation that teaches workshops about sexual education and personal hygiene to girls and women, the Women’s Centre is intended to be the reference point for all necessities of women from the village. At the same time it serves as a meeting place where different groups of women can store goods and organise their meetings.

该项目的构想是在与不同群体的当地人举行的几次会议上产生的，其中包括一个受雨水和阳光影响的会议区域。这可容纳约50名妇女，与简单和舒适的座椅由石头制成。从外面你可以进入一个小办公室，一个存储空间和一个商店，妇女可以自己管理，这可以创造新的劳动力和经济机会。

The ideas for the project were born out of several meetings with different groups of local people and included a meeting area that is protected from the rain and sun. This can accommodate about 50 women, with simple and comfortable seats made out of stone. From the outside area you have access to a small office, a storage space and a shop which the women can manage themselves and which could generate new labour and economic opportunities.

在该中心的建造过程中，考虑到了影响最终设计的几个因素：

For the construction of the Centre several things have been taken into account which have affected the final design:

当地材料的使用对项目的发展是必不可少的，因为由于预算低，从城市运输物资是不方便的。同时，利用自然界中的原材料进行工作也是非常有趣的。它还促进了当地经济的改善。

The use of local materials has been essential for the development of the project since, due to the low budget, the transport of materials from the city is not convenient. At the same time it has been very interesting to work with the raw materials available in nature. It has also contributed to the improvement of the local economy.

当地劳动力的使用促进了基金(建筑监督员)的专业化和对正在学习其行业的年轻人的培训。在农村地区，建筑师的工作并不存在，因为基金会是唯一负责所有所需工作的人。这样，新技术就可以嵌入到他们的共同知识中，并且可以在以后的建筑工地上继续发展。

The use of the local workforce has contributed to the specialisation of fundis (construction supervisors) and to the training of young people who are learning their trade. In rural areas the job of architect does not exist, seeing as the fundis are the only ones in charge of all the required work. That way the new techniques are embedded in their common knowledge and they can continue to be developed on subsequent construction sites.

该设计的简单性是该村居民的一个重要特点，因为它使他们能够以很少的资源和材料在自己的家中复制它的某些方面，例如围绕着会议空间的石凳或安全而又足智多谋的商店橱窗。

The simplicity of the design is an important feature for the inhabitants of the village as it allows them to replicate certain aspects of it in their own homes with few resources and materials, such as the stone benches that surround the meeting space or the safe and resourceful shop window.

该大楼的预算为2100欧元，包括后勤、劳动力和材料。它是由一组5人在17个工作日内建造的，其中一人是建筑主管，两人是砖匠，两人是学生建筑师。

The building was completed with a budget of 2100 euros, including logistics, labour and materials. It was built in 17 work days by a group of 5 people, of which one was a construction supervisor, two were bricklayers and two were student architects.

这个项目的目的是激发建筑学和相关专业学生的热情。学生们可以用暑假的时间接受建筑师的培训，帮助建立社区，相关的学院可以创建国际合作项目。这使学生能够发展他们的技能。

The aim of this project is to enthuse input from both students of architecture and related faculties. Students can dedicate their summer to being trained as architects and help to build communities and related faculties can create programs of international cooperation. This allows students to develop their skills.

通过坦桑尼亚的C-再援助，你可以在达累斯萨拉姆建筑学院的一名学生的陪同下参与一个你自己的项目。
