架构师提供的文本描述。胜利高地位于迪拜体育城内，是一所小学，占地1.5英亩。客户的简介将学校设想成一个有利于孩子进化发展的空间-几乎就像激发他/她行动、探索、发现、发明，最重要的是好奇。这一设计最终体现为一个有机的实体，几乎就像一个小儿童村。与其作为学术四合院类型学的例子，学校的作用是将不同的“四合院”连接在一起，形成一组相互作用的组合。该建筑群包括一个小学分院、一个幼儿园分院，以及附带的娱乐和行政区域。通过这种更广泛的划分为两个独立的翅膀，一个中央庭院出现了，在那里，不同年龄组的孩子可以聚合，互动和彼此玩耍。

Text description provided by the architects. Located inside the Sports City of Dubai, Victory Heights is a primary school spread over an area of 1.5 acres. The client’s brief envisioned the school to be a space that is conducive to a child’s evolutionary development – almost like a trigger where he/she is driven to act, explore, discover, invent and most importantly, be inquisitive. The design followed through by manifesting itself into an organic entity, almost like a little children's village. Rather than exemplifying the typology of an academic quadrangle, the school functions as an arrangement of clusters that are strung together around different 'Pods' of interaction. The complex includes a primary school wing, a Kindergarten wing, and accompanying recreational and administration areas. Through this broader classification into two separate wings, a central courtyard emerges, where the children of different age groups can converge, interact and play with each other.

 Axonometric

设计过程是调查这一概念的关键。对每个空间的性能进行了空间邻接和相互依赖的评估，以确保有效的规划。通过多种图表，空间之间的各种相互关系和内部关系最终演变为一个单一的、刺激的小学建筑解决方案。该项目的形成是为了应对迪拜恶劣的气候，与庆祝童年的空间和元素并驾齐驱。

The design process was key to the investigation of this concept. The performance of each space was evaluated in terms of spatial adjacencies and interdependencies to ensure efficient planning. Through multiple diagrams, the various inter and intra relationships between spaces eventually metamorphosed into a single, stimulating architectural solution for the primary school. The project took shape as a grounded response to Dubai's harsh climate juxtaposed with spaces and elements that celebrated childhood.

色彩扮演了一个重要的角色，使学校有一种嬉戏和轻浮的感觉。大的，大胆的，原色，横跨地面的玻璃墙，在檐篷上和在操场上，已经被用来在建筑中建立一个‘学校’的特征。

Color played an essential role to give the school a sense of playfulness and levity. Big, bold, primary colours, spanning the glass walls of the ground floors, on canopies and in the playground, have been used to establish the character of a 'school' in the architecture.

 Floor Plan

胜利高地的石面是从沙漠的流沙沙丘中得到启示的，但吸引他们的却是窗户接缝处的大量原色。窗户的播放为教室里的孩子们提供了一种与外界的视觉关系，也为周围房地产的可预见性提供了短暂的休息时间。室内充满了色彩和丰富的自然光，这对于激发年轻人的想象力至关重要。星系团的堆叠是以一种允许最大自然光进入教室的方式编排的，同时也提供了作为自然遮阳装置的悬垂装置。在一个机翼，堆叠和挫折提供一个天窗，在另一个，他们提供阴影。这两只翅膀都是通过一座横跨上层的中央桥梁连接起来的。

The stone facades at Victory Heights take cue from the shifting sand dunes of the desert, but what arrests them are the multitudes of primary colors at the window seams. The play of windows offers a visual relationship with the outside for the children in the classrooms; and a moment of break from the predictability of the surrounding real estate. The interiors are loaded with colour and abundance of natural light, essential to stimulate the imagination of the young minds. The stacking of the clusters is orchestrated in a way that allows maximum natural light to enter into the classrooms, and also provide overhangs that act as natural shading devices. In one wing, the stacking and setbacks provide a skylight, and in the other, they provide shading. Both of these wings are connected through a central bridge spanning the upper floor.

传统的马什拉比描绘了熟悉的伊斯兰几何图案在这座桥的两侧，也是连接两层楼的中央楼梯。由窗户、操场和檐篷的颜色所产生的对比被建筑物中的这些上下文元素所平衡。通过这种方式，建筑打算充当地理、文化和社会的存储库。这所小学的核心是教室。其中大部分被安排成跨越两层，大部分是线性空间。学习是一种无限的资源，当然不应该受到空间约束的限制。学习应该是无缝的，在胜利高中把不同的集群连接在一起的公共空间被设计成作为教室的延伸，正是出于这个原因。

The traditional mashrabia portraying the familiar Islamic geometric patterns flank the sides of this bridge, and also the central staircase that connects the two floors. The contrast created by the colours of the windows, the playground, and the canopies is balanced by such contextual elements in the building. In this way, the architecture intends to act as a repository of geography, culture and society. At the heart of this primary school are the classrooms. Most of these have been arranged to be tessellating across two storeys around mostly linear spaces. Learning is an unlimited resource, and should certainly not be restricted by spatial constraints. Learning should be seamless, and the common spaces that string together the different clusters at Victory High have been designed to act as an extension of the classrooms, for this very reason.

由一种与其项目不可分割的架构定义，胜利高中是公司设计理念的具体体现，它涉及到对项目绩效的理解，以及随后围绕该方案进行的建设。

Defined by an architecture that is inseparable from its program, the Victory High Primary School is a concrete manifestation of the firm's design ideals involving an understanding of the performance of program, and subsequently building around it.
