架构师提供的文本描述。这座5400平方英尺的露天展馆是一个教育和会议中心，是迪克森水基金会的一个示范场地，有着成为得克萨斯州第一个生活建筑项目的愿望。该项目实际体现了他们的使命，通过可持续的土地管理促进健康的流域，确保保护我们的水资源。

Text description provided by the architects. With aspirations to be the first Living Building project in Texas, this 5,400-square-foot open-air pavilion is an education and meeting center that serves as a demonstration site for the Dixon Water Foundation. The project physically embodies their mission to promote healthy watersheds through sustainable land management, ensuring the preservation of our water resources.

 Floor Plan

建筑物的简单，低洼的形式与周围的土生土长的草原说话，因为展馆工作
与自然。这座建筑群由两座规模相似的建筑物组成，它们由一个阴凉的门廊连接起来；一个包括一个植物标本室、一个卫生间和一个厨房，另一个则是一个多用途的教育活动空间。该结构设计灵活，常年适应气候条件，可捕捉夏季凉爽的微风，阻挡寒冷的冬季风。该结构的深邃悬垂和现存的遗产活橡树提供了遮荫和庇护中心的集合空间。裂开的木门可以打开，以使最大限度的通风通过中央收集空间和沿走廊。屋顶冲天炉为中央展馆提供了日光，同时也吸引了热风。

The building’s simple, low lying forms speak to the surrounding native prairie as the pavilion works
in concert with nature. The complex consists of two similarly scaled buildings connected by a shady porch; one includes a herbarium, restroom and kitchen, while the other houses a multi-purpose space for education events. Designed to be flexible and adapt to climatic conditions year round, the structure captures cool breezes in summer and blocks cold winter winds. The structure’s deep overhangs and existing heritage Live Oak provide shade and shelter in the central gathering space. Gapped wood doors can be opened to allow maximum ventilation through the central gathering space and along the porches. The rooftop cupola provides daylight for the central pavilion while also drawing hot air out.

该项目是作为一座完全恢复性的生活建筑而设计的，代表了建筑环境中最先进的可持续性措施
。100%的废水在现场进行处理，并返回到自然水循环。至少100%的能源是由太阳能电池板产生的，测试已经证实，室内空气质量与周围的室外新鲜空气几乎没有区别。整个项目只使用对环境影响小、对人类健康没有不利影响的建筑材料。自然材料和人类尺度的空间创造了一个宁静的环境，以整体的、非侵入性的方式将人们与景观联系在一起，从而支持基金会的使命。

Designed as a fully restorative Living Building, the project represents the most advanced measure
of sustainability in the built environment. 100% of wastewater is treated onsite and returned to the natural water cycle. At least 100% of the energy used is produced by solar panels and testing has confirmed that indoor air quality is almost indistinguishable from surrounding outdoor fresh air. Only building materials that have a low environmental impact and no adverse effects to human health were used in the entire project. Natural materials and human scaled spaces create a tranquil environment that connects people with the landscape in a holistic, non-intrusive way that supports the Foundation’s mission.
