架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑位于圣多明戈萨维奥社区，在麦德林东北坡上。多年来，公共投资的缺乏和政府在该地区的软弱存在加剧了该市最贫穷和最暴力地区之一的不平等。

Text description provided by the architects. The building is located in the Santo Domingo Savio neighborhood, on the northeastern slope of Medellín. The lack of public investment and the weak presence of the government in this territory increased during years the inequality in one of the poorest and most violent areas of the city.

该学校源于“教育程度最高的麦德林”项目，该项目旨在提高覆盖率最低的社区的基础教育质量。塞尔吉奥·法贾多市长提议整修132个教育机构，并建造10所新学校，同时为社区接触创造新的空间。

The School stems from the project “Medellín, the most educated” which aimed to improve the quality of basic education in the neighborhoods with the lowest coverage. The Mayor Sergio Fajardo proposed to refurbish 132 educational institutions and to build 10 new schools creating at the same time new spaces for the encounter of communities.

圣多明各萨维奥学校的场地位于两所现有学校之间；新建筑应将两者连接起来，并使用“开放设施”的概念将两者与城市结构相结合。通过开放建筑和城市干预的理念，新学校应成为文化、娱乐和教育活动的中心，成为促进社会融合的城市参考。

The site for the Santo Domingo Savio School was located between two existing schools; the new building should link both and wave them to the urban structure using the concept of “open facility”. Through the conception of an open architectural and urban intervention the new School should become a center of cultural, recreational and educational activities; an urban reference that promotes the integration of the society.

这块地有140.000平方米。脚，不规则的形状和35%的斜坡。这些因素使这个项目更加复杂，但却提供了一个特殊的条件；这座建筑可以作为自然景观来观察城市和它的山脉。此外，这条通道与工地之间的距离下降了3.5米，该地段作为邻里之间的连接点，与一些连接不规则城市结构的小径相交，该项目不得不与这些标志对话。

The lot had 140.000-sq. feet, an irregular form and a 35% slope. These factors made the project more complex but offered an exceptional condition; the building could work as natural lookout to observe the city and its mountains. Besides, it was a drop of about 3.5 meters between the access road and the site and the lot served as connection between neighborhoods, it was crossed by some paths that linked the irregular urban structure; the project had to dialogue with these signs.

考虑到环境条件，并意识到附近没有代表性的公共空间，我们决定把学校的屋顶作为一个望台。这42.000平方英尺。脚广场被认为是一个表面，人们可以在那里会面和分享价值，让他们改变他们在社区和城市的联系方式。这种新的宜居地理是景观成为社区日常体验的基本部分的地方。

Anserwing to context conditions and being aware of the fact that the neighborhood had no representative public spaces, we decided to use the roof of the School as a lookout platform. This 42.000-sq. feet plaza is conceived as a surface where people can meet and share values allowing them to change the way they relate in community and with the city. This new livable geography is a place where the landscape becomes a fundamental part of the community everyday experience.

为了尊重连接东西向社区的现有步道，人们通过一条楼梯街进入学校，这条街也连接着建筑物的各个层次。为方便南北连接现有学校之间的新建筑物，当局暂停兴建总容量，以便横行交通，并为整个综合大楼提供一个共用的会合及游乐场。

In order to respect the existing walking paths that connect the neighborhoods in east-west direction, the people access to the School through a stair-street that also joins all levels of the building. To facilitate the north-south connection through the new building between the existing schools, the main volume is suspended to allow the transversal circulations and to create a common meet- and playground for the whole complex.

这些由人给出的指示，再加上地段的几何学，L形建筑产生了一个天井，开放给学校内进行公民、娱乐和体育活动的景观。为了完成公众活动，我们决定在广场上方的一个公共礼堂里放置一个礼堂，这可以用于任何类型的活动，而不影响学术活动。

These directions given by people together with the geometry of the lot, the L-shape building generates a patio opened to the landscape where civic, recreational and sport activities within the School take place. To complete the public program we decided to place an auditorium in a public box over the plaza, this can be used for any type of events without interfering with the academic activities.

该项目的想法是赋予社区的自然建筑，如露台，楼梯和阳台的表达新的意义。这座新建筑宣告了一种社区和地方的归属感。

The project’s idea was to give novel meaning to the neighborhood’s expression of spontaneous architecture such as terraces, stairways and balconies. The new building declares a sense of community and place belonging.

由于在圣多明市采取了多种干预措施，这个社区可以克服几十年来许多令他们不知所措的问题。圣多明各萨维奥学校与其他改造这一地区的项目一起，使被遗忘的社区得以融入社会。来自城市其他部门的人们也能够想象出城市中正在发生的问题。

Thanks to the multiple interventions driven in Santo Doming Savio, this neighborhood could overcome many of the problems that overwhelmed them during decades. The Santo Domingo Savio School, together with other projects realized to renovate this area, allowed the social inclusion of a forgotten community. The people from other sectors in the city were also able to visualize problems that were occurring in the city.

我们认识到，建设基础设施-在这种情况下是教育基础设施-是较复杂项目的实际实现，这些项目试图从继承到长期暴力的社会问题中恢复过来。建筑本身不能解决问题，但可以帮助，圣多明各学校是第一次尝试调和城市与其居民之间的关系，这一过程必须得到长期巩固。

We recognize that the construction of infrastructure, educational in this case, is the physical materialization of more complex projects that try to recover from social problems inherited to long periods of violence. Architecture itself can´t solve the problems but can help, the Santo Domingo School is a first try to reconcile the relation between the city and its inhabitants, a process that has to be consolidated in a long term.

学校对城市形态产生了重大影响，在非常密集和不规则的城市化中，达到了开放的公共空间。这些空间使社会团体获得尊严，赋予人们身份要素，使他们与城市联系在一起。圣多明各萨维奥学校今天肩负着一项重大责任：它每天接待数千名学生，分两次旅行。对大多数居住在这里的人来说，这里是他们唯一可以逃避日常生活的地方，他们每天都会在广场、露台或礼堂里参与到日常生活中来。今天的建筑看起来被过度使用了，这样的空间必须存在，并在城市的其他部门得到答复，这是一个样本。

The School had a significant impact in the urban form reaching open public spaces in a very dense and irregular urbanization. These spaces dignify social groups giving the people identity elements that link them with the city. The Santo Domingo Savio School carries today a big responsibility: it receives thousands students per day divided in two journeys. For most of the people living around it is the only place where they can escape from the daily routine taking part of the situations that are happening every day in the plaza, in the patio or in the auditorium. The building today looks overused, what is a sample that such spaces must exist and be replied in other sectors of the city.
