架构师提供的文本描述。河岸高中是河岸小社区中唯一的一所高中。这所高中30多年来一直需要对其体育馆和更衣室设施进行重大改进。新的设施为社区注入了骄傲，并满足了极大的需求。该项目包括一个大型体育馆、更衣室和淋浴设施、团队间、一个运动训练室、教练办公室和一个配有观众设施的大型入口大厅。规划委员会，与建筑师合作，决定在设计过程的早期充分利用潜力，自然点燃体育馆。节能措施大大降低了运营成本，提高了建筑内的照明质量。

Text description provided by the architects. Riverbank High School is the only high school in the small community of Riverbank. The high school has had a need for major improvements in its gymnasium and locker facilities for over 30 years. The new facility instills pride in the community, and fill a great need. The program includes a large Gymnasium, locker and shower facilities, team rooms, an athletic training room, coach’s offices, and a grand entry lobby with spectator amenities. The planning committee, working with the architect, decided early in the design process to take full advantage of the potential to naturally light the gymnasium. The energy savings have dramatically reduced operating costs and enhanced the quality of light within the building.

将建筑物沿东向西轴线定位提供了最佳的机会，最大限度地利用北光进入建筑物入口大厅，太阳能热增益最小。有了这个方向，大楼还为北停车的游客提供了一个坚固而透明的“前门”。此外，沿东至西轴线运行的建筑允许建筑的东端延伸到现有的高中足球场。体育馆的新小吃店和洗手间都是为体育馆和足球场服务的。大楼的西端是大楼的储物柜和淋浴部分，离校园中心更近；是最方便的体育活动地点。

Locating the building along an east to west axis provided the best opportunity to take maximum advantage of north light into the building entry lobby with minimal solar heat gain. With this orientation the building also provides a strong yet transparent “front” to visitors parking to the north. In addition, running the building along the east to west axis allows the east end of the building to extend to the existing high school football stadium. The gym’s new snack bar and restrooms were designed to service both the gymnasium and the football stadium. The west end of the building house the locker and shower portions of the building and are closer in proximity to the heart of the campus; the most convenient location for the physical education programs.

体育馆本身就点亮了20个单独的天窗。这些天窗设计的反射内部轴和一个扩散的内部镜头，以有效的日光分布在体育馆内。天窗还设计了可操作的百叶窗，以便在白天的时间里使健身房变暗或变暗，以便在必要时举行特别活动。天窗是双玻璃和低发射率玻璃，以尽量减少潜在的热增益。在白天使用体育馆时不需要补充照明，这大大降低了能源成本。

The Gymnasium itself is lit with 20 individual skylights. These skylights are designed with reflective interior shafts and a diffusing internal lens for effective daylight distribution within the gymnasium. The skylights are also designed with operable louvers to dim or darken the gym during the daytime hours for special events if required. Skylights are dual glazed with low emissivity glazing to minimize the potential heat gain. No supplemental lighting is required during daytime use of the gymnasium, which significantly reduces energy costs.

立地规划完成后，利用三维建模软件对立地体成分进行进一步研究。利用计算机辅助设计工具研究了午后太阳对大厅入口处玻璃的太阳效应，并确定了有效的响应。在主入口的西侧引入了一堵垂直的太阳能屏墙，以遮阳大厅的玻璃，使其免受午后刺骨的阳光、风雨的影响。对整个构图进行了三维研究，并最终确定了一种简单的线性建筑形式。更大的体育馆空间位于一个从东到西形成对比的线性低层建筑单元的顶部。这个巨大的体育馆容量是作品的里程碑。体育馆通过透明的大厅向北开放，最大限度地利用光线，为活动中心创造一个视觉上吸引人的主要公共入口。这一安排还回应了设计委员会在体育馆、大厅和建筑外部之间所要求的视觉透明度。

Once the site planning was completed, 3D modeling software was used to study the volumetric composition further. Computer aided design tools were utilized to study the solar effects of the late afternoon sun on the lobby entry glass and to determine an effective response. A vertical solar screen wall was introduced on the west side of the main entry to shade the lobby glass from the harsh west afternoon sun, wind and rain. The entire composition was studied in three dimensions, and a simple linear building form was finalized. The larger gymnasium volume is positioned on top of a contrasting linear lower building element that runs from east to west. This large gymnasium volume is the landmark of the composition. The Gymnasium is opened to the north through a transparent lobby, maximizing light and creating a visually attractive main public entry point for the event center. This arrangement also responds to the visual transparency requested by the design committee between the gymnasium, lobby and exterior of the building.

大楼的最终设计是对学校的环境、场地和功能需求的反应。这座建筑成功地实现了学校委员会的既定目标，即创建一座能够有效地改善校园体育和体育课程的大楼，并成为学校和社区为之服务的骄傲的象征。

The building’s final design is a response to its environment, the site and the functional needs of the high school. The building successfully addresses the School Board’s stated goal of creating a building that will effectively make a strong improvement in the physical education and athletic offerings on campus, and be a symbol of pride in the high school and community it serves.
