架构师提供的文本描述。这所城市高中分为三个主题部分：身体、精神和精神，它们与学校内构成课程的各种方案和活动有关。该网站是根据这些主题区域划分的，并创建了酒吧，包括体育(身体)、学院教室和教学空间(心智)，以及图书馆、艺术和音乐(精神)。这些条子互相滑动，在场地上创造出室外空间，并为与建筑物一起工作的特定活动-入口庭院、运动护盾和阅读花园-设置了程序。构成学校的三卷书(身体、精神和精神)是由一堵连续的墙形成的，墙在场地上来回蜿蜒。

Text description provided by the architects. This urban high school is organized into three thematic components: body, mind and spirit, that relate to the various programs and activities within the school that compose the curriculum. The site is zoned according to these thematic areas and bars are created, housing the athletics (body), the academy classrooms and teaching spaces (mind), and the library, arts and music (spirit). The bars slide against each other to create outdoor spaces on the site, programmed for specific activities that work in conjunction with the buildings—entry courtyard, athletics fi elds, and reading garden. The three volumes (body, mind, and spirit) that comprise the school are created by one continuous wall that snakes back and forth through the site.

在整个芝加哥的历史上，芝加哥公立学校提供了一个强大和干净的存在，他们所建的社区。这些学校以尊严的态度经得起时间的流逝，在其周围创造了庄严的存在。传统上，这些学校代表了他们所处的时代和当时的建筑趋势。正是在这一传统的范围内，我们开始着手设计院子高中的外部信封。砖块的使用，一种高贵耐用的材料，以及对建筑正面连贯、合理表达的设计承诺，构成了建筑外观结构的主要组成部分。

Throughout Chicago’s history the Chicago Public Schools have provided the communities in which they were built with a strong and clean presence. The schools have managed to stand the pass of time with dignity creating a solemn presence in their surrounding. These schools have been traditionally a representation of the time that they were designed in and the architectural trends that were present. It is within the boundaries of this tradition that we have approached the design of the Back of the Yards High School exterior envelope. The use of brick, a noble and durable material, and a design commitment to a coherent rational expression of the building facades constitute the main ingredients of the fi nal exterior articulation of the building.

砖的设计是基于4“Dx 16”Hx8“L的单一标称单位尺寸。该单元的垂直方向是保持8”模块长度的关键，同时提高了标准模块砖的劳动效率。与其使用不同的砖块尺寸，还开发了两个分数选项：全模块(4“Dx 16”Hx8“L)、2/3”模块(4“Dx 16”HX5“L)和1/3模块(4”Dx 16“Hx 25/8”L)。该模式由工厂混合的三个不同的变化相同的砖块，在33%的每种类型的单位。

The brick design was based on a single nominal unit size of 4”Dx16”Hx8”L. Vertical orientation of the unit is key to maintaining an 8” module length while increasing labor effi ciencies over a standard modular brick. Rather than utilizing varied brick sizes, two score options that allow the brick to be perceived in three sizes were developed: full module (4”Dx16” Hx8”L), 2/3” module (4”Dx16”Hx5¼”L), and 1/3 module (4”Dx16”Hx25/8”L). The pattern created by the factory blending of the three different variations of the same brick at 33% of each type of unit.

体育酒吧包括一个适应性强的体育馆，有1200人的漂白座位，有一个规则篮球场和两个交叉场地。在一端有提高的表演阶段，使空间可以转换为一个礼堂，通过一个伸缩座椅系统，凹陷到墙壁对面的舞台。在其性能配制时，空间可容纳1200人。体育馆的储物柜、保暖室、运动场和其他支撑空间都位于这一层，紧邻体育馆，在迈伊入口下面。体育馆层设有一个单独的入口，以便公园区能够在学校毗邻公共公园的地方使用该空间。体育馆后面，设计成一个独立的，“插上”的部分，是游泳馆和相关的湿式储物柜和支撑空间。这也是为了能够独立于学校运作，作为一种社区设施。

The Athletics bar consists of an adaptable gymnasium with bleacher seating for 1200, with a regulation basketball court, and two cross courts. There is raised performance stage at one end that enables the space to convert to an auditorium via a telescoping seating system that recesses into the wall opposite the stage. When in its performance confi guration, the space seats 1200 people. Lockers, fi tness rooms, athletic storage and other support spaces for the gymnasium are located on this level adjacent to the gym and below the mai  entry. A separate entrance is provided at the gym level so that the space can be used by the Park District in locations where the school is adjacent to a public park. Behind the gymnasium, and designed as an independent, “plug on” piece, is the natatorium and associated wet locker and support spaces. This too, is designed to be able to operate independent of the school, as a community amenity.

学术酒吧分为两所学院，各有600名学生，第二层和第三层。每个学院共享一个多层共享区域，将两个学院连接在一起，学生们可以在课间聚集在一起。主入口的三层中庭俯瞰下面的入口庭院.学院下面的主要层次是两个学院的行政办公室，厨房/服务器和餐厅空间，以及其他辅助空间。

The Academics bar is subdivided into two academies of 600 students each, on floors two and three. Each academy shares a multilevel commons area linking the two fl oors, where students can congregate between classes. This three-story atrium at the main entry overlooks the entry courtyard below. On the main level below the academies are administrative offi ces for the two academies, kitchen/ server and dining spaces, and other support spaces.

室外空间包括一个主入口庭院，一个阅读花园，一个体育防护罩。学院的酒吧滑回来，创造了一个进入庭院之间的艺术和体育卷，形成了建筑物的主要入口。在这里，来自两所学院的学生可以在学校前与安全检查站一起在主大厅外社交；两所学院的公共区域可以透过正中庭到下面的庭院。第二个入口位于学术棒卷的一半，每天管理学生入学。毗邻图书馆，通往中学入口，是一个高架阅读花园，为学生和教师提供了一个深邃的思考空间，供他们阅读或随意交谈。这一空间构成了图书馆从外部进入的主要区域，可以独立于学校运作，从而增强了该设施对社区的效用。

Outdoor spaces include a main entry courtyard, a reading garden, an athletic fi elds. The academy bar slides back to create an entry courtyard between the arts and athletics volumes, forming the main entrance to the building. Here the students from both academies can socialize before school outside the main lobby with its security checkpoint; the commons areas for both academies look through the main atrium to the courtyard below. A secondary entry is located midway through the academic bar volume, to manage student entry into the school each day. Adjacent to the library and leading up to the secondary entrance, is an elevated Reading Garden, which provides a shaded contemplative space for students and faculty to read or engage in casual conversation. This space forms the main entry zone for the library from the outside, which can be operated independently of the school, enhancing the facility’s utility to the community.

看看这个社区的多文化西班牙裔居民，我们创造了一幅色彩鲜艳的砖墙，作为学校的特色，并捕捉到了这所学校所在的充满活力的社区的脉搏。

Looking at the multi-cultural Hispanic population of the neighborhood, a brightly colored glazed brick mural was created to serve as a school identity and capture the pulse of the vibrant community in which this school is located.
