架构师提供的文本描述。印度山区学校(IMS)是一所PreK-9独立寄宿学校，位于康涅狄格州拉克维尔600英亩的校园内，为186名学生提供服务。作为ims进行的一项校园研究的结果，Flansburg设计了一套8750-gsf音乐、艺术和技术建筑，专门为协作、跨学科、基于项目的学习而设计。设计特色是欢迎空间，包括艺术教室，有滑动谷仓门，打开共享画廊，办公室，和会议空间，开放给游客共用。灵活的设计提供了一个公共空间，白天的项目空间和晚上的学生休息室。小厨房和咖啡馆使它成为一个很好的休闲场所。这座建筑的形式让人想起了一个传统的新英格兰谷仓，里面有倾斜的铁皮屋顶，裸露的木材和木板，还有板条板。这种传统的形式是由大面积的玻璃创新，在平面角度，并直接固定在柱和梁的建设。这个玻璃可以让人看到与学校同名的印第安山的戏剧性景色。建筑物的西侧，特别是公共房间，直接通向景观，每间教室都有一扇通向外面的门。

Text description provided by the architects. Indian Mountain School (IMS) is a PreK-9 independent boarding school located on a 600-acre campus in Lakeville, Connecticut, serving 186 students. As a result of a campus study conducted for IMS, Flansburgh designed an 8,750-gsf music, art, and technology building specifically designed for collaborative, cross-disciplinary, project-based learning. The design features welcoming spaces including art classrooms that have sliding barn doors that open onto a shared gallery, and offices, and meeting spaces that open onto a Visitor Commons. The flexible design provides a common space, which functions as a project space during the day and a student lounge in the evening. The kitchenette and café help make it a great hangout space. The form of the building recalls a traditional New England barn with slopped tin roof, exposed timber and board, and batten siding. This traditional form is made innovative by a large area of glass, angled in plan, and fastened directly to the post and beam construction. The glass allows dramatic views of Indian Mountain, the school’s namesake. The western side of the building, particularly the common room, opens directly onto the landscape every classroom has a door to the outside.

设计方面的挑战是提供一个综合视觉艺术、音乐和科学的跨学科艺术中心，同时作为寄宿生的学生中心和家长的活动中心；创建一座标志性建筑(看上去像一个艺术中心)，同时坚持校园内的非正式、传统、乡村的新英格兰建筑；加强学校与周边景观的联系，尤其是与学校以西的一座小山-印第安山的联系；为当地艺术家提供场地；并将建筑成本控制在300万美元以下。

The design challenge was to provide a interdisciplinary arts center that integrated visual arts, music, and science while also serving as a student center for boarders and an activity center for parents; to celebrate the schools identity as a “camp with books”; to create an iconic building (that looks like an arts center) while holding true to the informal, traditional, rural new England buildings that populate the campus; to strengthen the connection between the school and the surrounding landscape, particularly to Indian Mountain, a small mountain directly west of the school; to provide a venue for local artists; and to keep the constructions costs below $3 million.

 Floor Plan

该建筑的组织支持合作，并培养社区意识。视觉艺术工作室打开共享的画廊空间与大滑动谷仓门。FAB实验室和音乐彩排演播室开放到有折叠玻璃墙的公共房间。公共房间包括咖啡厅和非正式的“软”座位，用于非正式聚会、独立工作、扩大演播室空间和晚上为寄宿者提供活动空间。

The organization of the building supports collaboration and fosters a sense of community. Visual art studios open onto a shared gallery space with large sliding barn doors. The Fab Lab and music rehearsal studio open onto the common room with folding glass walls. The common room includes a cafe with cafe seating and informal “soft” seating to be used for informal gatherings, independent work, expansion of studio spaces, and event space for boarders in the evening.

裸露的Glu-LAM柱和梁结构让人想起康涅狄格州农村的谷仓结构。油漆混凝土地板，暴露金属带，暴露钢紧固件传达诚实的表达和整合的结构，物质和建筑。神职人员照明为中央画廊带来了日光，减轻了人工照明的需要。

Exposed Glu-Lam post and beam structure recalls the barn structures of rural Connecticut. Painted concrete floors, exposed metal strapping, exposed steel fasteners convey an honesty of expression and integration of structure, materiality and architecture. Clerestory lighting brings daylight into the central gallery, mitigating the need for artificial lighting.

除了采用胶水-LAMS作为结构的主要手段外，这些柱和梁还被用作建筑物幕墙系统的横向支撑。LAMS胶的强度和紧固性能消除了铝管背板的需要，从而使木材直接支撑幕墙窗系统。

In addition to the building’s use of glue-lams as the principle means of structure, these columns and beams were also employed as lateral support for the building’s curtain wall system. The strength and fastening capability of glue-lams eliminated the need for aluminum tube backplates, whereby the wood supported the curtain wall window system directly.

学生艺术

The Student Arts & Innovation Center at Indian Mountain School was originally conceived as a building for student arts. Given the facility’s popularity among students, it is now simply referred to as the ‘Student Center’. Positioned between academic buildings and student playfields, the Student Center enjoys a central campus location that reinforces its role as the school’s campus meeting place.
