Text description provided by the architects. Problem Statement

JC Raulston植物园是美国东南部最具代表性的寒冷、坚韧的温带植物之一，是一个举世闻名的花园。作为北卡罗莱纳州立大学园艺科学系的一部分，该植物园主要是一个工作研究和教学园，重点是从世界各地收集的植物材料的评价、选择和展示。

The JC Raulston Arboretum is a nationally acclaimed garden with the most diverse collection of cold-hardy temperate zone plants in the southeastern United States. As part of North Carolina State University’s Department of Horticultural Science, the Arboretum is primarily a working research and teaching garden that focuses on the evaluation, selection, and display of plant material gathered from around the world.

特别适应北卡罗来纳州皮埃蒙特地区条件的植物被鉴定出来，以便为南方景观寻找更好的植物。这座园艺设施是一颗占地8英亩的宝石，主要由NC州立大学的学生、教师、志愿者和工作人员建造和维护。

Plants especially adapted to conditions in the Piedmont region of North Carolina are identified in an effort to find better plants for southern landscapes. The horticultural facility is an eight-acre jewel that has been largely built and maintained by NC State University students, faculty, volunteers, and staff.

我们的设计回应

Our Design Response

植物园要求建筑师设计一个露天板条结构，以取代邻近日本花园的破旧树荫房。该结构可作为实验园艺技术和方法的实验室。它也为新生植物提供庇护，因此这种设计可以被比作一种抽象的树，它正在伸展它的枝条来保护那些嫩的植物。

The arboretum asked the architect to design an open-air lath structure to replace the existing dilapidated shade house adjacent to a Japanese garden. The structure functions as a laboratory for experimental horticultural techniques and methods. It also shelters infant plants, so the design may be compared to an abstract tree that is spreading its branches to protect the tender plants.

通过精心放置的木制2×2钢支撑的屏幕，新的无偿结构满足了春季植物所需的特定光影比。它为幼小的植物提供庇护，因为它们会在植物园内变成更大的花园。Lath House还为罗利市提供了一个无障碍的社区花园，并为北卡罗来纳州提供了教育资产。

Through its screen of carefully placed wooden two-by-twos with steel support, the new pro bono structure fulfills the specific light-to-shade ratio needed for the plants in the spring. It shelters infant plants as they transition into larger gardens within the arboretum grounds. The Lath House also provides an accessible community garden for the City of Raleigh and an educational asset to the State of North Carolina.
