“有一个关于国王的女儿罗兹的传说，她仍然住在雷塞克城堡下面，等待着那个把她带到…世界的人。这时，一个巫师从另一边走过来，把大地抬起来。Rezekne的每一个小孩都有一个自由的空间，让他们长高、聪明、特别。巫师把铅笔插在地上。少年们来到那里，爬上去展示自己和他们的伟大作品。让里加的先生们敬佩吧！“

"There is a legend about King’s daughter Roze who still lives underneath the Rezekne castle mound and waits for the one to bring her into the world… Meanwhile a wizard came on the other side and lifted the earth up. A free space was left there for every little kid in Rezekne to grow up tall, wise and special. And the wizard stuck the pencils into the ground. The teenagers came and climbed up there to show themselves and their great works. Let the gentlemen of Riga to admire!"

这座建筑的构想是作为一项建议，旨在为雷泽克恩城堡旁边的一处地方和城市的目标进行建筑竞赛-为雷泽克恩的儿童和青年创造创新和创造性的环境，以激励年轻毕业生在雷克尼镇学习后返回生活和工作，这是该镇发展的独特和新的动力，时间的新印象。

The idea of the building was developed as a proposal for an architecture competition for a place next to the castle mound of Rezekne and aim of the city - to create innovative, creative environment for children and youth in Rezekne that would stimulate the young graduates to return to live and work in Rezekne town after their studies, unique, new leading-motive for the development of the town, new impress of time.

空间的体积是弯曲的，周围是当地的主导-城堡丘雷泽克；它体现在地形周围的开阔视野，向城堡土墩和教堂。

The volume of the space is bent around the local dominant – the castle mound of Rezekne; it is embodied in the terrain of surroundings with open views towards the castle mound and the church.

绿卷中的“铅笔”是苏联时期现存建筑的前景。

The “pencils” stuck in the green volume serve as the foreground for the existing soviet period buildings.

 Floor Plan

‘.城镇中心边缘的戏剧性景观，面向古堡，古堡堆砌着中世纪保存的遗迹-该镇的主要旅游景点。正是现场本身表明，建筑应该深入地下，而第五层立面-几何三角形绿色屋顶-应该成为该结构的主要特征。这座建筑是一个裸露的整体混凝土结构，在外部抹灰。尽管如此，大多数房间都是矩形的-暴露的混凝土和可变窗口几何形状的戏剧性天花板创造了令人惊讶的多样性和空间的独特性。屋顶的形状不仅为孩子们创造了一种安全和保护的感觉，而且还允许大量和多样的自然光通过各种开口进入所有的房间、大厅和走廊，而从外面它神秘地在黑暗中发光。一楼的一个亲密的内部庭院将光线带入离地面更远的活动室。建筑周围的景观，无论是混凝土表面还是绿色表面，都延续着与屋顶相同的几何原理，每一个细节都有令人惊讶的雕塑感觉和艺术触觉。新的结构成为现有戏剧景观的组成部分，甚至成为当地传说和童话的一部分，扩展了大众的想象力。它是当代设计从物质和情感环境、地方精神和传统原型中涌现出来的一个例子，为孩子们提供了一个温暖友好的新环境。尽管拥有6000平方米的建筑面积，但这座建筑让人觉得很有人情味，也很亲切，与该镇中心的小规模历史建筑相兼容。A10，*48，Anita Antenišķe

‘... A dramatic landscape on the edge of the town centre facing an ancient castle mound with medieval, state-preserved ruins- the main tourist attraction of the town. It was the site itself that suggested the building should settle deep into the ground and that the fifth facade - the geometrically triangulated green roof - should become the main feature of the structure. The building is a structure of exposed, monolithic concrete, plastered on the exterior. Still, most of the rooms are rectangular in plan - the dramatic ceilings of exposed concrete and variable window geometries create the amazing diversity and uniqueness of space. The shape of the roof not only creates a feeling of safety and protection for the children, but also allows for an ample and diverse flow of natural light through various openings into all the rooms, halls and corridors, while from the outside it shines mysteriously in the darkness. An intimate inner courtyard on the ground floor brings light into activity rooms located further from the surface. The landscaping around the building, in both concrete and green surfaces, continues the same geometric principles as used for the roofs with surprising sculptural feel and artistic touch in every detail. The new structure became an integral part of the existing dramatic landscape, and even a part of local legends and fairy tales, extending the popular imaginations. It is example of contemporary design emerging from physical and emotional surroundings, from local spirit and traditional archetypes, providing a warm and friendly new environment for the kids. Despite its 6000m2 area, the building feels human and homely, compatible with the small-scale historical buildings of the town’s centre.’ A10, *48, Anita Antenišķe
