架构师提供的文本描述。2011年秋季，Niafourang项目前往塞内加尔Casamance地区的一个沿海小村庄Niafourang。Niafourang的人口约为300人；该村非常贫穷，失业率很高。HildeHuus-Hansen领导一个非营利性组织，Niafourang之友，致力于改善当地青年的生活条件，并在该村创造就业机会。

Text description provided by the architects. In the fall of 2011 Project Niafourang travelled to Niafourang, a small coastal village in the Casamance region of Senegal. The population of Niafourang is around 300 inhabitants; the village is very poor with a high unemployment rate. Hilde Huus-Hansen leads a non-profit organization; Friends of Niafourang, that works to improve conditions for local youth and create job opportunities in the village.

2010年12月，Hilde与来自NTNU的三名建筑系学生取得了联系。她想在Niafourang建造一个青年中心，其中包括一个电脑室/图书馆和一个更大的多用途房。其目的是在该村创造机会、就业和发展。该项目的一个重要方面是让当地社区参与建筑和规划阶段，以便对由此产生的建筑产生一种主人翁感和自豪感。

December 2010 Hilde got in touch with three architecture students from NTNU. She was looking to build a Youth Center in Niafourang that would include a computer room/library and a larger multi-purpose room. The intention was to create opportunities, jobs and development in the village. An important aspect of the project was to involve the local community in both the building and planning stages, in order to create a sense of ownership and pride in the resulting building.

工作在抵达Niafourang后不久开始，持续了10周。村子里没有电，所以除了用电池驱动的电钻，也没有用过的电器。人们对这个项目有极大的热情，全村都参加了志愿工作。这对于在有限的时间内完成建筑物是完全必要的，对建筑物的未来也是非常重要的。

Work started shortly after arrival in Niafourang and lasted an intense 10 weeks. There is no electricity in the village so apart from the use of a battery powered drill, no electrical devices where used. There was great enthusiasm surrounding the project and the entire village partook in volunteer work. This was entirely essential for the completion of the building in the limited timeframe and very important for the buildings future.

这些墙是用压缩的沙子和少量的水泥建造的。这些石块是用当地的一台机器从附近的一条沟里铲来的。窗户的位置很低，墙上有很深的框架，所以可以用来坐在里面。钢支架是自定义焊接在附近的一个村庄和举行屋顶建设。瓦楞纸铝制屋顶突出在墙壁以外，以防止雨水进入建筑物，并创造阴凉的地区来放松。

The walls are built using blocks of compressed sand and a small amount of cement. The blocks were hand-pressed using a local machine with sand shoveled from a nearby ditch. Windows are positioned low on the walls with deep frames, so they can be used to sit in. Steel brackets were custom welded in a nearby village and hold the roof construction. The corrugated aluminum roof juts out beyond the walls to prevent rain from entering the building and creates shady areas to relax.

在凸出的屋顶下面，一条混凝土带围绕着建筑物，形成了一个阴凉的平台。屋顶延伸到多用途房间墙壁外的第二层.二楼可通过室外梯子进入，可作为图书馆/电脑室或多用途室的延伸。有角的木板是百叶窗，既能防止雨水，又能防止阳光直射。

Underneath the protruding roof, a concrete belt surrounds the building creating a shady platform. The roof extends to include a second floor outside the walls of the multi-purpose room. The second floor is accessible by an outdoor ladder and functions as an extension of the library/computer room or the multi-purpose room. Angled wood planks serve as blinds, preventing both rain and direct sunlight.

青年中心已经投入使用，并有望为尼亚福朗的积极发展作出贡献。我们希望，为期10周的建设和规划进程能给当地社区带来启发，就像它给我们留下的启发一样。

The Youth Center is already in use and will hopefully contribute to positive development in Niafourang. We hope the 10 week long building and planning process has left the local community as inspired as it has left us.
