架构师提供的文本描述。今年夏天，10名建筑系的年轻学生加入了奥基德工作室，在短短7周的时间里，就在赞比亚工业铜带的郊区建造了一座350平方米的建筑，建筑面积仅为GB 100/m2。

奥基德工作室是一个人道主义设计组织，成立于2008年，由三名建筑学学生组成，其目标是通过创新和创造性的建筑和设计使全世界的儿童和社区受益。随着乌干达、玻利维亚和赞比亚项目的完成，工作室的驱动力是大力关注建筑作为变革的催化剂，通过一个包容的、合作主导的设计过程和现场建设方案，增强社区内的自豪感并增强其自豪感。此前曾在2012年复活节为Mutende儿童村建造了一个鸡舍，作为社区商业活动，这一阶段寻求帮助在该孤儿院附近的一个地点发展Mutende的哈罗德·姆文格纪念学院。Mutende为孤儿和被遗弃儿童提供机会，让他们在充满爱心的家庭环境中得到照顾，而学校则为更多的当地儿童提供教育。

Orkidstudio is a humanitarian design organisation, founded in 2008 by three students of architecture, whose aim is to benefit children and communities worldwide through innovative and creative architecture and design. With projects completed in Uganda, Bolivia and Zambia, the studio is driven by a strong focus on architecture as a catalyst for change which empowers and instils pride within a community through an inclusive, collaboratively-led design process and live build programme. Having previously built a chicken shed in Easter 2012 as a community business endeavour for The Mutende Children’s Village, this phase sought to aid the development of the Mutende’s Harold Mwenge Memorial Academy on a site adjacent to the orphanage. The Mutende offer opportunities for orphans and abandoned children to be cared for in a loving, family environment, whilst the school provides education to many more of the local children.

在工作开始前将近一年的时间里，英国就有10名志愿者被选中。这个团队由奥基德工作室领导，设计了一个社区大厅，可以分三间教室，一间IT套房，一间办公室和供应室。这些新设施几乎使现有的学习空间翻了一番，使学校能够为该地区更多的儿童提供教育。

With a call for volunteers launched almost a year before work started on site, ten applicants were selected from architecture schools across the UK. Led by Orkidstudio, this team designed a community hall capable of being sub-divided into three classrooms, an IT suite, office and supply room. These new facilities have almost doubled the existing study space and enable the school to provide education for significantly more children in the area.

随着一个简单的L形教室块已经在现场上，新的结构模仿现有的屋顶俯仰在网站的后面，然后层叠在一个可变的倾斜协和的天篷下方。设计给人的印象是单箔片向入口处折叠，屋顶悬挑而出，欢迎游客进入下面的阴影空间。

With a simply L-shaped classroom block already on the site, the new structure mimics the existing roof pitch at the rear of the site before cascading forwards below a variably-pitched concertinaed canopy. Designed to give the impression of a single foil sheet folding out towards the entrance, the roof cantilevers out and welcomes visitors into the shaded space below.

由于建造时间非常紧张，只有7周，设计允许多个行业同时在现场操作。木材结构不是混凝土板基础，而是位于大型钢筋混凝土垫上。烧焦的泥砖墙像皮一样环绕着结构，相应地划分了空间。建筑物的组件，例如这类构件，不受结构负荷的影响，因而能够在整个工程计划内按更灵活的时间表运作。

Given the extremely tight build schedule of just seven weeks, the design allowed for multiple trades to operate on site at once. Instead of a concrete slab foundation, the timber structure sits on large reinforced concrete pads. Fired mud-brick walls wrap around the structure like a skin, dividing spaces accordingly. Components of the building such as this sit off the primary structure, bearing no structural loads, and therefore capable of operating on a more flexible schedule within the full programme of works.

为了防止白蚁侵扰造成的退化，木材结构被设置在基础垫上，并在地面上有一个清晰的800毫米的高度。与创新的工程公司，结构模式密切合作，这一雄心勃勃的自我建造设计的结构尺寸和规格减少，这与非洲产品和制造业的不规则之处，而不损害内部空间。

In an effort to counteract degradation due to termite infestation, the timber structure is set off the foundation pads and a clear 800mm above floor level. Working closely with innovative engineering firm, StructureMode, this ambitious self-build was designed with reduced structural sizes and specifications which worked with the irregularities of African products and manufacturing, without compromising the internal spaces.

在整个学期中，奥基德录音室小组能够与儿童、教师和当地社区接触，讨论他们对学校的看法，并在整个过程中作出了改变，以便提供与学校日常生活相适应的空间。新结构的形式在学校的中心地带创造了一个新的庭院空间。为了庆祝这一空间和过渡到大盖的新建筑，周边砖石基础上升到周围的柱基地，以创造在儿童和成人的高度的非正式座位。大型图形文字和数字嬉戏地标识每一个教室和大排水沟托盘延伸到庭院，创造水收集点下面和住房的电力服务核心在渠道下面。

Working throughout term time, the Orkidstudio team were able to engage with the children, teachers and local community to discuss their vision for the school and changes were made throughout in order to provide spaces which responded to the daily life of the school. The form of the new structure creates a new courtyard space at the heart of the school. To celebrate this space and the transition into the large covered canopy of the new build, the perimeter masonry footing rises up around the column bases to craft informal seating at both child and adult heights. Large graphic lettering and numbers playfully identify each classroom and large gutter trays extend into the courtyard creating water collection points below and housing electrical service cores within the channels below.

完成这个项目后，志愿者和建筑系学生弗雷泽·哈维兹(Frazer Haviz)评论道：“有机会设计和建造一些具有社会和建筑价值的东西，看到它从谈话到素描发展到绘画，最终变成一座有决心的建筑，真是不可思议。”不是每天都有机会成为这样一种独特经历的一部分，成为穆坦德第二项目的一部分是一种莫大的荣幸。

After finishing the project, volunteer and architecture student, Frazer Haviz, commented: ‘The chance to design and build something of social and architectural value, seeing it grow from talks to sketches to drawings and finally to a resolved building is something truly incredible. It is not every day the opportunity arises to be part of such a unique experience as this and it was an immense privilege to be a part of the Mutende Project II’.

OrKidstudio目前正专注于塞拉利昂和肯尼亚的项目，目前在www.orKidstudio.co.uk/志愿网站上开放的申请将成为这两个项目的一部分。此外，该组织还参与了加纳的一个项目，该项目由麦金托什建筑学院(格拉斯哥艺术学院)管理，奥基德工作室主任詹姆斯·米切尔是人道主义建筑方面的讲师和导师。

Orkidstudio is now focusing on projects in Sierra Leone and Kenya, with applications to be a part of both currently open at www.orkidstudio.co.uk/volunteer. Additionally, the organisation is involved with a project in Ghana which is being run by the Mackintosh School of Architecture (Glasgow School of Art) where Orkidstudio Director, James Mitchell, is a lecturer and tutor in humanitarian architecture.
