架构师提供的文本描述。Niemenranta小学位于乌伦沙罗市的一个新住宅区，周围是独立的房屋和其他小型房屋。大部分地区仍处于施工阶段。学校中心是该地区唯一的公共建筑，为其创造了明显的中心点。

Text description provided by the architects. Niemenranta Elementary School is located in a new residential area in Oulunsalo Municipality, surrounded by detached houses and other small-scale houses. Most of the area is still in construction phase. The school center is the only public building in the area, thus creating the obvious center point for it.

学校中心由三个部分组成：面向300名学生的小学-手边的项目；幼儿园；以及初中。前两个是完成的，而初中是延迟的。虽然学校主要用于教育，但它也是社区的公共空间(体育、爱好、俱乐部和聚会)。

The school center has three parts: the elementary school for 300 students – the project at hand; the kindergarten; and the junior high school. The first two are completed while the junior high school is delayed. Although the school is mainly used for education, it also functions as a common space (sports, hobbies, clubs and gatherings) for the community.

建筑形式是功能和城市目标的综合。自由形成的砖墙面向公共区域，而长方形的木质正面决定了校园。

The building form is a synthesis of the functional and urban goals. The free formed brick wall faces the public areas, while rectangular wooden facades define the school yards.

外部建筑的主要元素-弯曲的砖墙-也是不同思想的综合。一方面，它创造了一种强烈的，公共的，有点城市的感觉，建筑；另一方面，它是一种对自然的参考。该建筑的周边是非城市环境，逐步变成福雷斯特、海岸线，最后是波尼亚湾。

The main element of the outside architecture – the curvy brick wall – is a synthesis of different ideas as well. On one hand it creates a strong, public and somewhat urban feel to the building; on the other hand it is a reference to nature. Immediate surroundings of the building are non-urban, which turns step by step into forrest, shoreline and finally the Gulf of Bothnia.

长方形的，小型的，亲密的学校庭院是指向南方的阳光和建筑盾牌免受寒冷的北风，从而创造了一个良好的小气候。长而有表现力的屋檐为木质正面和儿童提供了免受恶劣气候的保护。

Rectangular, small-scaled and intimate school yards are directed to the south for sunlight and the building shields from the cold northern breezes, thus creating a good microclimate. Long and expressively shaped eaves provide protection from the harsh climate for both wooden facades and the children.

这座建筑的材料和形式显然补充了阿尔瓦·阿尔托(Alvar Aalto)的砖砌建筑，也补充了70年代后期和80年代的芬兰后现代主义地区主义运动“奥卢学派”(Oulu School)，它在当时的芬兰北部(尤其是乌伦沙罗地区)的公共建筑风格中产生了强大的影响。

The materials and forms of the building obviously complement Alvar Aalto's brick architecture, but also the late-70's and 80's finnish post-modernistic regionalism movement, the "Oulu School", which had a strong impact in the Northern Finland's (and especially Oulunsalo-area's) public building styles back then.

Oulu学校的主要目标是放弃普遍和冷酷的现代主义，代之以与该地区的景观、气候和文化适应相协调的区域性、人性化的建筑。木材和砖块是Oulu学校使用的突出材料。

The main goal of Oulu School was to abandon the universal and cold modernism and replace it with regionalistic, humane architecture that would be in harmony with the landscape, climate and cultural adaptations of the area. Wood and brick were the prominent materials used by Oulu School.

尽管Niemenranta学校中心离欧卢学校建筑有时过于夸张的浪漫主义和历史主义相去甚远，但设计的精神方面也是从相同的思想根源演变而来的。

Even though Niemenranta School Center is far from the sometimes over-the-board romanticism and historism of Oulu School architecture, the mental side of the design evolves from the same root of ideas.

学校的空间亮点是正门大厅和与之相连的公共空间。自由形成的木制天花板强调并赋予这些公共空间强大的特征。建筑物的其他部分是小规模和亲密的。教室和走廊都有鲜艳的色彩，以给建筑带来乐趣和轻松的方向。

The spatial highlight of the school is the main entrance hall and the public spaces linked to it. The free formed wooden ceiling emphasizes and gives a strong character to these public spaces. Other parts of the building are small-scaled and intimate. Bright colours are implemented to the classrooms and corridors in order to bring playfulness and easy orientation to the building.

该设计同时力求大胆和谦逊：考虑到预算和负责任地使用公款，但却为社会创造了一座值得骄傲的杰出公共建筑。

The design strives to be bold and modest at the same time: considering the budget and the responsible use of public money, yet creating a distinguished public building for the community to feel proud of.
