架构师提供的文本描述。旧小泉小学在2008年四川5.12级大地震中遭到严重破坏，随后被拆除。该项目在几个赞助商的资助下，在小泉老城中心新建了一所学校。该项目由主教室、各种活动教室、教师办公室、学生宿舍和餐厅组成。新学校将接待900多名学生。

Text description provided by the architects. The old XiaoQuan Elementary School was severely damaged during the catastrophic 5.12 Sichuan earthquake in 2008 and was demolished afterwards. Supported by donations from several sponsors, the project is to build new school in the center of Xiaoquan old town. The program consists of main classroom buildings, classrooms for various activities, teacher’s office, student dormitory buildings, and dining hall. The new school will host more than 900 students.

这个设计被设想成一个小建筑群，以创建一个像校园一样的微型城市.零碎而不是统一的建筑构成创造了许多城市一样的地方，如街道，广场，庭院，以及不同规模的台阶。这些场所旨在鼓励儿童开展多样化和自发的活动。小规模的、好玩的角落和迷宫般的空间，就像通道和游乐场一样，被创造出来激发孩子们的好奇心和想象力。通过此，我们还打算在学校建筑中延续小泉镇的城市空间记忆，以避免在震后重建过程中完全失去城市结构的连续性。

The design is conceived as a cluster of small buildings to create a micro-city like campus. The fragmentary instead of unified building composition creates many urban like place such us streets, plazas, courtyards, and steps at various scales. These places are intended to encourage diversified and spontaneous activities of children. Small-scale playful corners and labyrinth like space as passage and playground are created to provoke children’s curiosity and imagination. Through this, we also intend to continue the urban space memory of Xiaoquan town in the school building, so as to avoid completely losing the continuity of urban fabric during rebuilding process after earthquake.

这个设计符合四川炎热潮湿的气候。遮阳装置、自然通风和散热是设计中考虑的重要因素。此外，我们亦会尽量利用本地资源及可获得的工艺。当地的材料，如木材，砖头和竹子是用来做窗户，墙壁和天花板。地震回收砖用于路面。现浇混凝土用于裸露结构.施工完全由当地承包商完成。工程造价控制在每平方米1500元的经济预算范围内。

The design responds to Sichuan's hot and humid climate. Sunshade device, natural ventilation and heat reduction are important elements considered in design. We also explore to maximize the use of local resource and craftsmanship which can be acquired. Local materials such as wood, brick and bamboo are used for windows, walls, and ceilings. The recycled bricks from earthquake are used in pavement. Cast-in-situ concrete are used for exposed structure. The construction is completely done by a local contractor. The construction cost is well controlled within the economical budget of RMB 1,500 yuan per square meter.
