架构师提供的文本描述。这份简报呼吁我们为一家受欢迎的北印度连锁学校设计一家名为德里公立学校的特许学校。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief called for us to design a franchise for a popular north Indian school chain called Delhi Public School.

由于这一模式可能会在印度南部的几所学校推广，我们被要求创造一种简单且成本效益高的语言，可以很容易地适应不同的场地条件和略有不同的项目。

Since the model was to be potentially replicated across several schools in South India, we were asked to create a simple and cost effective language that could be adapted easily to different site conditions and slightly varying programs.

虽然目前正在建设的总体规划包括一个幼儿园、初中、中学和高中大楼，最终将容纳4 000名儿童；目前的幼儿园设施有25个教室，每班有40个孩子，总人数为1 000人。

While the overall master plan currently under construction comprises a kindergarten, junior, middle and senior school block that will eventually cater to 4000 children; the current kindergarten facility has 25 classrooms, and with 40 children a class, a total strength of 1000.

主要的挑战是设计和完成首批35，000 SFT的建造。幼儿园街区在6个月的时间跨度内，有效成本为1200卢比/SFT(20美元/SFT)。如此迅速地设计和建造一座建筑物的效率必须与我们所相信的保持平衡；为这些幼儿创造一个温暖、好玩和欢迎的环境，使其充满自然光和通风。

The primary challenge was to design and complete construction of the first 35,000 sft. Kindergarten block within a 6-month time span at an efficient cost of Rs.1200/sft (USD $20/sft). The efficiencies of designing and constructing a building so rapidly had to be balanced with what we believed in; creating a warm, playful and welcoming environment for these young children that would be filled with natural light and ventilation.

我们开始通过创建一个高效的模块化系统来实现我们的目标，我们可以使用这个系统作为构建块。我们看了700 SFT教室的基本模块(35英尺x20英尺)。这可以是水平重复，也可以堆放在另一个上面。两旁的教室两旁有一条8英尺宽的单重走廊，通往中央开放的天井。

We set out to achieve our goal by creating an efficient modular system that we could use as building blocks. We looked at the basic module of a 700 sft classroom (35ft x 20 ft.) that could be repeated horizontally, or stacked one atop the other.  The classrooms on either side flank an 8ft wide single loaded corridor and open up to a central open- to-sky courtyard.

重复暴露的混凝土结构的简单性最终决定了设计结果，因为我们在其上添加了灵活的层。我们在所有的走廊上增加了一个波纹金属墙，这将服务于双重目的；促进建设的速度和经久耐用的磨损学校走廊通常采取。

The simplicity of the repetitive exposed concrete structure is what eventually dictated the design outcome as we added flexible layers onto it. We added a corrugated metal wall on all corridors, which would serve a dual purpose; facilitate speed of construction and be durable for the wear and tear school corridors usually take.

瓦楞纸还使我们有机会发挥模式和使用热带色彩，典型的地方乡土建筑。

The corrugated sheets also gave us the opportunity to play with pattern and use tropical colours typical of the vernacular architecture of the region.

其他上下文参考资料是在当地的兵马俑(在印度传统上使用的遮阳和通风屏风)，这些遮阳和通风屏风环绕着建筑物的部分，并包括在每一教室的两侧，以便于从NE到SW的充分交叉通风。在建筑物的西面，我们在突围地区有效地使用了太阳。

Other contextual references are in the vernacular terracotta jaalis (shading and ventilation screens used traditionally in India) that wrap around parts of the building and are included on both sides of each classroom to facilitate adequate cross ventilation from NE to SW. The jaalis cut down the sun especially on the western face of the building where we have effectively used them in breakout areas.

判断太阳方向，我们玩了许多装置：水平的和垂直的pergolas，以及外部两种不同的JAALI模式的组合，它们在一天中的不同时间在建筑物上创造了有趣的图案。

Judging the sun directions we played with a number of devices: horizontal and vertical pergolas and a combination of two different patterns of jaali on the exterior that create interesting patterns on the building at different times of the day.

中央、直线、开放的高楼大厦，是学校的灵魂，有利于课堂外的学习。班加罗尔温和的气候允许在庭院树木周围的长凳上或在走廊的台阶上进行开放的讨论。

The central linear open-to –sky court that runs the entire length of the building is the soul of the school and facilitates learning outside the classroom. The temperate climate of Bangalore allows for open to sky discussion on benches surrounding the courtyard trees or on the steps of the corridors.

在空调学校日益流行的时代，我们尝试了一种节能和成本效益高的方法，通过有效利用微风和白天充足的自然光，在白天利用最小的电力负荷。

In an age of air- conditioned schools becoming increasingly popular, we have attempted an energy efficient and cost effective approach that utilizes minimal electrical load during the day due to effective harnessing of breezes and adequate natural light during the day.

作为建筑师，我们希望我们能够将这一简单而有效的类型学进一步推广到该地区的其他特许经营中。

It is our hope as architects that we are able to take this simple yet effective typology further to other franchises in the region.
