架构师提供的文本描述。童子军小屋项目于2011年启动，作为正在进行中的阿兰斯伯勒狮子园乡村工作室项目的第五阶段。狮子公园占地40英亩，是格林斯伯勒市最大的娱乐公园。自2005年以来，乡村工作室一直与格林斯伯勒市，黑尔县和多个娱乐组织重新设计和翻新狮子公园。目前的工作包括创建棒球场、洗手间、长椅和垃圾桶等基础设施、特许展台、溜冰场、操场和广泛的景观美化。

Text description provided by the architects. The Scout Hut project was started in 2011 as the fifth phase of an ongoing Rural Studio project at Lions Park in Greensboro, AL. at 40 acres, Lions Park is the largest recreational park in the city of Greensboro. Since 2005, Rural Studio has worked with the City of Greensboro, Hale County and multiple recreational organizations to redesign and renovate Lions Park. At present, work includes the creation of baseball fields, restrooms, infrastructures such as benches and trash receptacles, a concession stand, skate park, playground and extensive landscaping.

在公园的整个翻新过程中，当地的童子军和童子军通过清理小径和清理灌木丛来帮助维护公园。部队目前在狮子公园附近的一栋大楼里会合，在一间用作当地渔业研究单位会议室的房间里。作为加强其成员资格和鼓励成员多样化的一种手段，童子军有兴趣建立一个新的、可识别的总部。狮子公园提供了一个很好的地点，童子军可以利用公园的其他设施，并继续管理公园。新建筑包括一个多用途空间，厨房，卫生间和存储空间两个露营齿轮拖车。

Throughout the renovation of the park, the local Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops have helped maintain the park by tidying up trails and clearing out undergrowth. The troops currently meet in a building that borders Lions Park, in a room that serves as a conference room for the local Fisheries research unit.  As a means of bolstering their membership and to encourage a diversity of members, the scout troops were interested in creating a new, identifiable headquarters. Lions Park provided a good location in which the scouts could utilize the other amenities in the park and also continue their stewardship of the park. The new building includes a multi-purpose space, kitchen, restroom and storage space for two camping gear trailers.

童子军小屋结构由10个木桁架组成，或称弯曲，支撑在细长的钢基上，并放在混凝土板上。弯曲是由真正的尺寸，粗糙切割松树2x6s和2x8s。弯曲面内水平堆放着直径为2“-8”的圆木，作为外包层，为结构提供压载。这些被称为稀薄的原木是从阿拉巴马州人满为患的森林中采伐的；它们被视为来自健康森林做法的废物。间伐用环烷酸铜溶液处理，以防止腐烂和虫害的发生。

The Scout Hut structure consists of ten wooden trusses, or bents, supported on slender steel footing and resting on a concrete slab. The bents are made of true dimension, rough-cut pine 2x6s and 2x8s. Stacked horizontally within the sides of the bents are logs, 2” – 8” in diameter, which function as exterior cladding and provide ballast for the structure. The logs, known as thinnings, were harvested from overcrowded forests in Alabama; they are seen as a waste product from healthy forest practices. The thinnings were treated with a copper naphthenate solution to protect against rot and insect infestation.

 Floor Plan

通过弯曲的结构，稀薄被抬高离板18英寸，功能上保护不受昆虫和水的稀薄，同时允许光线进入建筑物的地板水平。弯曲底部的聚碳酸酯面板形成了“克莱姆-地板”(一种对牧师的表演)，在抛光的混凝土地板上反射光线。聚碳酸酯板和钢钉也形成了两端的墙，垂直于圆木填充的墙壁。弯曲的内部内衬1x12粗切松木板。两套入口门周围的钢制箱体提供必要的抗剪强度。一个石膏板覆盖的内部“盒子”住房厨房，卫生间和储存元素的程序。在这个盒子的一端，一个砖块环绕为一个烧木头的炉子提供了空间，在冬天的月份，这个炉子会给建筑物取暖。在温暖的夏季，可操作的窗户提供交叉通风，这是辅助我的两个大屁股风扇和两个屋顶排气风扇。这座建筑没有任何常规的强制空气系统，这使得建筑的运营更加经济，同时也吸引了童子军们对季节和气候的关注。

Through the structure of the bents, the thinnings are raised 18 inches off of the slab, functionally protecting the thinnings from insects and water and simultaneously allowing light into the building at the floor level. A band of polycarbonate panels along the base of the bents creates  ‘clere-floor’ (a play on clerestory), bounding light in off the polished concrete floor. Polycarbonate panels and steel studs also form the two end walls running perpendicular to the log-filled walls. The interior of the bents is lined with 1x12 rough-cut pine boards. Steel boxes around the two sets of entry doors provide necessary shear strength. A gypsum board-clad interior ‘box’ houses the kitchen, restroom and storage elements of the program. On one end of this box, a brick surround provides space for a wood-burning stove, which heats the building during the winter month. In the warm summer months, operable windows provide cross-ventilation, which is aided my two Big Ass Fans and two roof exhaust fans. The building is not equipped with any conventional forced-air systems; this makes the building more economical to operate and also draws the scouts’ attention to the seasons and climate.

在狮子园的任何乡村工作室项目中，学生团队不仅会受到特殊的规划元素的挑战，而且还会被要求检查公园的总体规划。除了童子军小屋外，学生团队还设计并建造了两间无障碍厕所。洗手间和附属喷泉，服务于溜冰场、骑马场和小便足球场。位于现有展馆下的洗手间将全年开放。洗手间还包括喷泉和公告栏，以供当地通告和信息。

With any Rural Studio project in Lions Park, the student teams are challenged not only with their particular programmatic element, but are also asked to examine the master plan of the park. In addition to the Scout Hut, the student team also designed and built two psublic, ADA accessible restrooms. The restrooms, and attached water fountains, serve the skate park, riding arena and pee-wee football field. The restrooms, located under an existing pavilion, will be open year-round. The restrooms also include water fountains and a bulletin board for local notices and information.
