架构师提供的文本描述。本校位于湖北省恩施市山区三县交汇处。这一地区的学生住在远离三县中央学校的地方，因此由于实际需要，所以保留了教学学校。但是，它无法获得更多的财政支持来改善自己的艰难处境。

Text description provided by the architects. This teaching school locates in the mountain area of Enshi City, Hubei province and at the intersection of three counties. The students in this area live far away from any of the central school of the three counties, so the teaching school is reserved because of the actual need. But it could not get more financial support to improve its hardward.

我们的朋友许志刚先生出资为这所教学学校建了一个阅览室，由我们负责设计和材料的计数，因为找不到承包商就进不了山，所以工程也要由几个朋友和一位同事来做。考虑到场地条件，确定了本设计的原则是采用木材结构，使大部分构件在恩施市城区预制，只需在山上快速组装。在此基础上，我们反复讨论了设计和构造细节。

Our friend Mr. Xu Zhigang initiate this endowment to build a reading room for this teaching school and find us to take charge of the design and material counting; because it would be too difficult to find contractor to go into the mountain, the construction will also be done by a few friends and one of our colleague. Considering the site condition, we decide the principle of the design is to use wood structure, make most component prefabricated in urban area of Enshi City and only assemble them rapidly on the mountain. Based on this principle, we discussed the design and the tectonic details back and forth.

整个建筑应该是15-20平方米，最后是25平方米，包括灰色空间。该设计希望在这样一个小建筑中创造出丰富的空间体验，从而激发孩子们的想象力。面向操场的屋檐被设计得比平常低；连接教室和操场的走廊沿着路边的山墙布置；内部有不同高度的台阶。

The entire building is supposed to be 15-20sqm，and finally it comes to 25sqm including the grey space. The design hopes to create possibly rich spacial experience in such a small building, so that to provoke the imaginations of the children. The eaves facing the playground is designed lower than usual; a corridor connecting the classroom and the playground is set along the gable wall on the road side; and the interior has steps of different heights.
