架构师提供的文本描述。自1990年以来，休斯敦大学杰拉尔德D.海因斯建筑学院一直在指导学生完成他们的研究生设计-建造工作室计划，该项目在设计和建造的所有阶段执行一个建造项目，直到在一个夏天内完成。今年，GDBS在休斯敦历史上的第五区麦雷诺兹中学的场地上设计了他们最新的“太阳能树荫树”。

Text description provided by the architects. Since 1990, the University of Houston Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture has been guiding students through their Graduate Design-Build Studio program, which carries out one built project through all phases of design and construction to completion within one Summer. This year, the GDBS has designed their latest "Solar Shade Tree" on the grounds of McReynolds Middle School in Houston's historic 5th Ward neighborhood.

最初从规模较小的木材建设项目开始，gdbs已成长为每年成熟的户外建筑项目，由leep ap的Patrickpeters教授领导，他于1996年接管了该项目。在过去的几年里，这些项目教会了数以百计的建筑学研究生如何进行真正的建筑设计，并遵循它们进入并贯穿于建筑阶段；不仅作为建筑设计师，红里衬图和建筑模型，而且作为建筑团队的重要组成部分，创造和组装结构本身的各个部分。

Originally beginning with smaller scale, timber construction programs, the GDBS has grown into a yearly full-fledged outdoor architectural project through the leadership of Professor Patrick Peters, LEEP AP, who took over heading the program in 1996.  Over the past several years, these projects have taught hundreds of graduate architecture students the ins and outs of taking real architectural designs and following them into and through the construction phase; not only as architectural designers red-lining drawings and building models, but also as the essential part of the building crew that creates and assembles the various pieces of the structure itself.

围绕可持续性这一核心论题，这个最新的项目利用屋顶上四个150瓦的光伏板来为下面的灯和风扇提供足够的电力。所有材料都来自当地和/或回收利用，还增加了一个雨水花园，以同时收集雨水，减少该地区的洪水。在项目中实现的被动系统之上，所有这些都使它成为所有接触它或开发它的人的学习体验。

Based around a central thesis of sustainability, this latest project utilizes four 150-watt photo voltaic panels on its roof to self-sufficiently power lights and fans underneath. All materials  are sourced locally and/or recycled, and a rain garden is also being added to simultaneously collect storm water and reduce flooding to the area.  All of this on top of the passive systems implemented in the project make it a learning experience for all who come in contact with it or its development.

在当今的专业化世界中，这种对体系结构的亲自动手的方法大多被遗忘了。但是，必须解决现实生活中的问题和细节的价值，如细木工或物质，都在实际预算之下取代了学生在学校的任何课堂或工作室项目。作为一个实际项目的一部分，这个项目留下了大多数学生在学术生涯中注定要完成的痕迹纸或电脑屏幕，并成为一项已建成的工作，其好处就像完成这样一个项目所带来的满足感一样，是非常宝贵的。所有这些项目都是在学校或其他有价值的学校建立的，目的是让这些地方的学生和教职员工了解其他的、鼓舞人心的设计和建筑技术，而GDBS项目今天仍然是所有缺乏这样的机会的建筑学校的典范。

This hands-on approach to Architecture is mostly lost in today's world of specialization.  But the value of having to work out real-life problems and details such as joinery or materiality all under a real budget supersedes any lecture or studio project a student is otherwise given in school.  The benefit of being a part of an actual project that leaves the trace paper or computer screen most students are bound to in their academic career and becomes a built work is as invaluable as the feeling of of completing such a project is fulfilling.  All of the projects are built at schools or other well-deserving establishments to expose the students and faculty in those places to alternative and inspiring design and construction techniques, and the GDBS program continues today as a model for any architecture school lacking such an opportunity for its students.
