架构师提供的文本描述。作为对国际设计建造竞赛的回应，我们的团队提出了一种典型的加州方法，其中包含了许多我们大多数人都欢呼的亚洲的新想法。这些加利福尼亚人的想法形成于我们成长的巢中，这是由于我们对材料的共同兴趣，这些材料构成了我们的建筑环境，重点是可再生材料。

Text description provided by the architects. In response to an international design-build competition, our team proposed a quintessentially Californian approach embracing many ideas still new to Asia, from where most of us hail. These Californian ideas formed into Nest we Grow, which grew from a shared interest in the materials that make up our build environment with a focus on renewable materials.

 Sectional Perspective

分段透视

Nest We Growth在2014年赢得了第四届LIXIL国际设计建造大赛的冠军，与竞争的头几年建造的建筑不同，它是一个开放的公共结构。它的主要目的是将社区中的人们聚集在一起，在日本北海道的环境中储存、准备和享用当地的食物。

Nest We Grow won the 4th Annual LIXIL International design-build competition in 2014, and unlike structures built in the first years of the competition, it is an open, public structure. Its main intent is to bring people in the community together to store, prepare and enjoy local foods in the setting of Hokkaido, Japan.

我们的研究生团队由两名台湾人、两名中国人和一名美国人组成，他们试图研究我们可以结合哪些结构和物质元素来创造这个以社区和食物为导向的空间。我们认识到伯克利是如何庆祝温和的材料和行动，并希望探讨它们在亚洲的影响。

Our team of graduate students, comprised of two Taiwanese, two Chinese, and one American, sought to examine what structural and material elements we could combine to create this community and food oriented space. We recognized how modest materials and actions are celebrated in Berkeley and wanted to explore their implications in Asia.

我们最初的研究是从我们在加利福尼亚很容易找到的技术开始的，包括夯土墙和稻草捆建造。我们提出这些想法是为了寻求一座能够将可再生建筑技术引入日本一个地区的建筑，该地区可以利用这些概念。我们发现，我们认识到在新的环境中应用跨国技术的困难。

Our initial research started with techniques we find readily in California, including rammed- earth walls and straw bale construction. We presented these ideas in pursuit of a building that would introduce renewable building techniques to an area of Japan that could take advantage of these concepts. What we found was an appreciation for the difficulty of applying transnational technology in a new environment.

我们还重点研究了一种来自美国的重型木材建筑技术，它使用了大量的木材。在日本，这被转化为合成柱，它使用较小的木块产生一个更大的柱。要找出一种连接材料的方法需要付出很大的努力，这既受到当地木工做法的影响，也受到日本材料市场的影响。我们也受到相当长的时间限制，整个建筑过程只用了六个月就完成了。

We also focused on a heavy timber construction technique coming from the US, which uses large sections of wood. In Japan this translated to the composite column, which uses smaller pieces of wood to generate a larger column. It took considerable effort to identify a way to join materials, which was influenced by both local carpentry practices and the Japanese material market. We were also under a considerable time constraint with the entire building process taking only six months to complete.

木框架结构模仿日本落叶松林的垂直空间经验，从那里悬挂食物生长和干燥。在鸟巢中央的茶平台创造了一个聚集的空间，在那里，社区可以在沉陷的壁炉周围视觉和身体上享受食物。当地的食物构成了鸟巢的高地，因为人们看到粮食林漂浮在地形之上。

The wood frame structure mimics the vertical spatial experience of a Japanese larch forest from which food is hung to grow and dry. A tea platform in the middle of the nest creates a gathering space where the community can visually and physically enjoy food around a sunken fireplace. Local foods make up the elevation of the Nest as people see the food forest floating above the landform.

建筑物底部的墙，除了创造一个微地形之外，还有助于阻挡盛行的西北冬风。鸟巢利用外墙和屋顶上的透明塑料瓦楞纸，允许植物进入阳光，在寒冷的几个月里加热空间，扩大巢的可用性。

The wall at the base of the building, in addition to creating a micro topography, helps to block the prevailing northwest winter wind. The Nest takes advantage of the transparent plastic corrugated sheets on the façade and roof, allowing light in for the plants, and heating the space during colder months, extending the usability of the Nest.

屋面和屋顶上的滑动板开放，以便于夏季和白天较暖部分的空气通过结构。茶台坐到鸟巢里，把它保存在寒冷月份皮肤产生的温暖空气中，在温暖的夏季保持在交叉通风的区域。

Sliding panels in the façade and roof open to facilitate air movement through the structure during the summer and warmer parts of the day. The tea platform sits up into the Nest, keeping it in the warm air created by the skin during the colder months, and in a cross ventilated area during the warm summer months.

外墙的开放性使建筑能够将周围的自然环境融入室内气候，但也可以关闭，以在两者之间形成缓冲。漏斗状的屋顶收获雨水和雪。收集到的水被输送到水箱，然后用来灌溉混凝土墙中的植物。这种形状意味着鸟巢有能力以空气、水和光的形式将自然带入巢中。

The openness of the façade allows the building to incorporate the surrounding natural environment into the interior climate, but can also be closed off to create a buffer between the two. The funnel-shaped roof harvests rain water and snow melt. The collected water is delivered to tanks that are then used to irrigate the plants in the concrete wall. The shape signifies the Nest’s ability to bring nature in the form of air, water and light into the Nest.

巢的规划是根据这些本地食物的生命周期来决定的：种植、收获、储存、烹饪/就餐和堆肥，从而重新启动这个循环。社区的所有成员都帮助完成每一阶段的工作，使该结构成为全年在巢内进行集体学习和聚会活动的平台。社区参与延伸并完成了当地食品的生命周期，这是一种共生关系。这是鸟巢里人和食物的时刻表，这是人和食物的巢。

The program of the Nest is decided according to the life cycle of these local foods: growing, harvesting, storing, cooking/dining, and composting, which restarts the cycle. All members of the community help to complete each stage, allowing the structure to become a platform for group learning and gathering activities in the Nest throughout the year. Community participation extends and completes the life cycle of local foods, which is a symbiotic relationship. This is the time-line of people and food in the Nest, and this is the Nest for people and food.
