Text description provided by the architects. Background

2007年，英国慈善机构A教育合作伙伴(APIE)作为其促进非洲教育的使命的一部分，致力于在基加利卡贝扎社区建立一个新的学校校园，以取代破旧的现有设施。有群众参与选择新地点，设计新的教育设施，以及协助建立组织结构，以支持卡贝萨社区的教育方案。该学校于2011年7月开学，校长保罗·卡加梅(PaulKagame)主持了该项目的开幕仪式。

In 2007, UK charity A Partner In Education (APIE), as part of its mission to boost education in Africa, committed to building a new school campus in the Kigali neighborhood of Kabeza to replace dilapidated existing facilities. MASS was brought onboard to select the new site, design the new educational facility, as well as assist in building the organizational structure to support the educational programs for the Kabeza neighborhood. The school opened in July of 2011 with H.E. President Paul Kagame inaugurating the project.

情境设计

Contextual Design

建筑布局和流通的设计直接从社区和地区获得灵感；由于丘陵景观，人们在梯田农田上穿梭，学校的横穿人行道和室外教室也反映了这一背景。大众创造了独特的学习环境，混合了室内房间、外部教学区域和儿童的梯田游戏空间。建筑中使用了砖和莎草等当地材料，以降低运输成本，限制进口材料的使用，并通过鼓励当地市场刺激该区域的经济。大众与当地工匠合作，在这一过程中吸收当地的专门知识。该设计采用自然通风策略，屋面结构中的空腹桁架为降低能耗创造了神职人员照明。

The design of the building layout and circulation takes direct inspiration from the neighborhood and the region; due to the hilly landscape, people travel across switchbacks on terraced agricultural land — and the school’s traversing walkways and outdoor classrooms mirror this context. MASS created unique settings for learning with a mix of interior rooms, exterior teaching areas, and terraced play spaces for children. Local materials such as brick and papyrus reeds were used in the construction to cut down on transportation costs, limit the use of imported and often contextually inappropriate materials, and to spur the region’s economy by encouraging local markets. MASS collaborated with local craftsmen to incorporate local expertise in the process. The design employs natural ventilation strategies, and the verendeel trusses in the roof structure create clerestory lighting in order to reduce energy consumption.

7栋楼，有9间教室、图书馆、电脑实验室、厨房和行政空间、混合室内和外部教学区域、梯级娱乐空间。
