架构师提供的文本描述。从历史上看，越南作为一个农业国家，在向以制造业为基础的经济转型时，正面临着变化，这对环境造成了损害。干旱、洪水和盐碱化加剧危及粮食供应，而许多摩托车每天在城市造成拥堵和空气污染。迅速的城市化剥夺了越南儿童的绿色土地和游乐场，从而与自然的关系。

Text description provided by the architects. Vietnam historically an agricultural country is facing changes as it moves to a manufacturing based economy, taking its toll on the environment. Increased droughts, floods and salinization jeopardize food supplies, while numerous motorbikes cause daily congestion and air pollution in the cities. Rapid urbanization deprives Vietnamese children of green lands and playgrounds, thus relationship with nature.

农业幼儿园是应对这些问题的一个挑战。这座建筑坐落在一家大型鞋厂旁，为工厂的500名工人设计，被设想为一个连续的绿色屋顶，为儿童提供食品和农业经验，以及一个广阔的空中游乐场。

Farming Kindergarten is a challenge to counter these issues. Located next to a big shoe factory, and designed for 500 children of the factory's workers, the building is conceived as a continuous green roof, providing food and agriculture experience to children, as well as an extensive playground to the sky. 

 Ground Floor Plan

绿色屋顶是一个三环形状画一笔，包围了三个庭院内作为安全的游乐场。最近，在其顶部实现了一个实验性菜园。在200平方米的菜园里种植了五种不同的蔬菜，用于农业教育。

The green roof is a triple-ring shape drawn with a single stroke, encircling three courtyards inside as safe playgrounds. Recently, an experimental vegetable garden was realized on its top. Five different vegetables are planted in 200m2 garden for agriculture education.

所有的功能都在这个屋檐下。当屋顶向庭院低垂时，它提供了通往上层和顶部菜园的通道-孩子们在那里学习农业的重要性，并恢复与自然的联系。

All functions are accommodated under this roof. As the roof lowers to the courtyard it provides access to the upper level and vegetable gardens on top- the place where children learn the importance of agriculture and recover connection to nature.

环境战略

Environmental Strategies

该建筑是由一个连续的窄带和两侧可操作的窗户，最大限度地利用交叉通风和自然照明。此外，建筑节能和机械节能的方法包括但不限于：绿色屋顶作为绝缘，绿色立面作为遮阳和太阳能热水器。这些装置是明显设计的，在儿童的可持续教育中发挥着重要作用。工厂废水被回收用于灌溉绿色植物和冲洗厕所。

The building is made of a continuous narrow strip with two side operable windows which maximize the cross ventilation and natural lighting. Additionally, architectural and mechanical energy-saving methods are comprehensively applied including but not limited to: green roof as insulation, green facade as shading and solar water heating. These devices are designed visibly and play an important role in the children’s sustainable education. Factory wastewater are recycled to irrigate greenery and flush toilets.

因此，尽管幼儿园地处恶劣的热带气候，但在教室里却没有空调。根据竣工10个月后发布的入伙后记录，与基础建筑性能相比，该建筑节能25%，淡水40%，大大降低了运行成本。

As a result, the kindergarten is operated without air conditioners in the classrooms despite being located in a harsh tropical climate. According to post-occupancy record issued 10 months after completion, the building saves 25% of energy and 40% of fresh water compared to baseline building performance, reducing its running cost greatly.

环境战略

Cost-Efficiency

这座建筑是为低收入工厂工人的子女设计的，因此建筑预算是相当有限的。因此，结合当地的材料(例如。采用砖、砖和低技术的施工方法，既能最大限度地减少对环境的影响，又能促进当地工业的发展。由于采用了简单的刚构结构，每平方米的建筑成本仅为500美元，其中包括饰面和设备，即使在越南市场上，这也是非常便宜的。

The building is designed for low-income factory workers' children, therefore construction budget is quite limited. Therefore, the combination of local materials (ex. bricks, tiles) and low-tech construction methods are applied, which also help minimize the environmental impact as well as promote local industry. Thanks to simple rigid frame with economical materials, the construction cost per one square meter is only 500 USD including finishes and equipment, which is competitively cheap even within the Vietnamese market.
