架构师提供的文本描述。滨海小怀高中位于中国-新加坡天津生态城市，是一所低能耗高中，设有36个标准班，国家绿色建筑标牌-3级。由于场地面积有限，建筑师试图紧凑地定位各种功能，以节省空间。北侧是多用途建筑，包括教室、实验室、办公室、图书馆、展示室、餐厅、展览厅、自行车停车位等。

Text description provided by the architects. Binhai Xiaowai High School is located in Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City, a low energy consumption high school with 36 standard classes and National Green Building Label-3 rated. Since the site area is limited, the architect tried to compactly position various functionalities in order to save space. On the north side of the site is the multi-use building, including classrooms, laboratories, offices, libraries, presentation rooms, dining halls, exhibition halls, parking space for bikes, and etc.

在整个设计过程中，对可持续性的关注是一致的。作为国家绿色建筑标牌-3级建筑，节能材料和节能基础设施的应用是必不可少的，包括高效的外部结构、高性能的空调机组、排烟器、水泵、电梯、智能照明系统、能量循环通风系统、可再生能源的使用、雨水收集和净化系统、非传统能源的使用，并回收各种新型材料。

The attention paid to sustainability is consistent throughout the design. As a National Green Building Label-3 rated architecture, the application of energy saving materials and energy saving infrastructures is indispensible, including the high efficiency external structure, high performance air conditioning sets, smoke extractors, water pumps, elevators, intelligent lighting system, energy recycling ventilation system, use of renewable energy, rainwater harvesting and purification system, usage of untraditional sources, and recycling varieties of new types of materials.

除了主动节能方案，被动节能更确切地说，是建筑师感兴趣的策略。所有标准教室都位于二楼和南面，窗户/楼层面积平均超过20%，确保室内照明。在多用途建筑的庭院中安装了中庭，引入了自然照明，增加了走廊空间的自然照明，使教室能够接受来自两边的阳光，为学生创造了一个健康舒适的室内照明环境。北侧设有小型教室和辅助室，以最大限度地利用空间。办公区位于两个教学区之间，便于教师往返于办公室和教室之间。实验室位于多用途建筑北端，与教学区平行连接，便于师生往返。

Aside from the proactive energy saving schemes, passive energy saving, rather, is the strategy that interested the architect. All of the standard classrooms are positioned on and above the second floor and south facing, with window/floor area rate averaging over 20%, ensuring interior lighting. Atriums are installed in courtyard in the multi-use building, leading in natural lighting, and increases natural lighting in the corridor’s space, making it possible for the classroom to receive sunlight from both sides, creating a healthy and comfortable interior light environment for students. The north side is positioned with small size classrooms and auxiliary rooms to maximize the use of space. The office area is positioned between two teaching areas, convenient for teachers to commute between offices and classrooms. The laboratories are situated at the north end of multi-use building, connected with the teaching area in parallel, convenient for teachers and students to commute in between.

 Floor Plan

多用途建筑在37度向南向东，由于生态城市夏季风以东南风为主，冬季盛行风为西南风，因此多用途建筑能够充分利用夏季盛行的风向进行自然通风。在冬天，它能够避免盛行的风，以尽量减少热量损失。通过对室外风环境的模拟，该方案在步行区的最大风速为3.29m/s，最大风速放大值为1.00；该工程在夏季和过渡季节将建筑物前后的压差保持在75%以上，以避免局部地区的漩涡和盲角，保持开放的窗户和内门，确保这些季节的室内自然通风。

The multi-use building is orienting south by east at 37o, as the eco city’s summer wind is predominantly southeast wind, the prevailing wind in the winter is southwest, therefore the multi-use building is able to fully take advantage of prevailing wind direction during the summer season for natural ventilation. In the winter, it’s able to avoid the prevailing wind to minimize heat lost. From simulations of outdoor wind environment, this project’s maximum wind speed in pedestrian area is 3.29m/s, the maximum wind speed amplification is 1.00; this project is maintaining a pressure difference above 75% in the front and back of the building during summer and transitory seasons, in order to avoid vortices and blind angles in partial areas, ensuring interior natural ventilation during these seasons by keeping open windows and interior doors.

图书馆位于南端、第一层，配有设备齐全的展示空间和自助餐厅，展示空间位于地面的北端和底层空间。沉陷的广场将自然照明带到了较低的水平。该建筑的曲折形状包括两个广场空间，在前面和后面，前面广场作为入口广场，为了交通和疏散，广场下的下层是自行车储藏室，照明管道引导自然照明进入地下空间，为车库提供照明。后广场也是展示室的屋顶平台，为学生提供户外活动空间。

The library is situated on the south end, first level, accompanied with well equipped presentation space and cafeteria, the presentation space is situated on the ground level’s north end and lower level space. The sunken plaza brings natural lighting to the lower level. The zigzagged shape of the architecture encompassed two plaza spaces, on the front and rear, the front plaza as the entrance plaza, for traffic and evacuation, the lower level under the plaza is bike storage spaces, and light pipes are leading in natural lighting to the underground space, providing lighting for the garage. The rear plaza is also the roof platform for presentation rooms, providing students outdoor activity spaces.

在空间协调方面，为了让所有楼层的学生能够在课间宝贵的10分钟内进出教室，建筑师试图建立更多的公共活动空间，例如扩大部分区域的走廊空间、室外平台空间，为学生提供户外活动空间以方便他们；在走廊上设立了软木板，以刺激学生之间的对话。场地的西南侧是宿舍楼，地上五层，地下一层，包括有屋顶的操场和25米长的短程游泳池，为学生提供锻炼的地方，不需要离开宿舍，不受天气影响。为了节省土地的使用，屋顶操场的屋顶被设计成一个篮球场，可以直接从宿舍楼到达。宿舍的南端与体育场的看台一起设计，增加了体积，节省了土地的使用。学校设有400米标准跑道和国际标准足球场，地下较低的停车场可容纳约500辆车辆，为社区开放，希望能缓解社区的停车拥堵。

In regarding to space coordination, in order to let students at all floor levels be able to walk in and out of the classroom during the valuable 10 minutes in between class sessions, the architect tried to set up more public activity spaces, for example enlarged corridor spaces in partial areas, outdoor platform spaces, providing students with outdoor activity spaces for their convenience; cork boards are set up in the corridors to stimulate conversations between students. The southwest side of the site is dormitory building, with five levels above ground and one level of basement underground, including roofed playground and 25 meters short course swimming pool, offering students a place to exercise without having to exit the dormitories, and unaffected by the weather. In order to save the usage of land, the roof of roofed playground is designed to a basketball field, directly reachable from the dormitory building. South end of the dormitories is designed together with the stadium’s grandstand, increasing volume and saving usage of land. The school is equipped with 400m standard track and international standard soccer field, the lower underground parking lot is able to accommodate an approximate of 500 vehicles, open for the community, in hope to alleviate parking congestion in the community.
