佐治亚·奥基夫是美国最重要的现代艺术家之一。新墨西哥州的壮丽景色深深地影响了佐治亚·奥基夫，并将她的作品转化为对她认为“属于”她的作品的欣赏。正是这种压倒性的归属感让她得以发展成为一名艺术家，也是乔恩·安德森建筑(JonAnderson Architecture)在她同名的乔治亚·奥基夫小学(GeorgiaO‘Keeffe)设计的新建筑的支柱。

Georgia O'Keeffe was one of America's most important modern artists. The magnificent landscape of New Mexico profoundly affected Georgia O’Keeffe and transformed her work into an appreciation of what she believed “belonged” to her. It is this overwhelming notion of belonging that allowed her to evolve as an artist and it is the backbone for the new Jon Anderson Architecture designed Georgia O'Keeffe Elementary school in her namesake.

这所学校不是作为纪念，而是作为一种工具，提取和提取这个地方，新墨西哥州的原则和现象，奥基夫变得非常清楚，并随后暴露在世界上。它旨在通过为学生提供丰富的教学、培养和保护环境来灌输无限增长潜力的精神。

The school is meant not as a memorial, but as a vehicle to extract and distill the principles and phenomena of this place, New Mexico, which O’Keeffe became intensely aware and subsequently exposed to the world. It is meant to instill a spirit of limitless growth potential by providing a richly pedagogical, nurturing, and protected environment for the students to thrive.

学校以U形排列，位于东西轴线上，双臂伸向现有的操场/公园，拥抱庭院。景观将这个看似内向的计划与东部的桑迪亚山脉、西边的火山和格兰德河流域联系起来。

The school is arranged in a U-shape on an east-west axis with arms that reach out toward the existing playground/park and embrace the Courtyard. Views reconnect the seemingly introverted plan with the Sandia Mountains to the east and the volcanoes and Rio Grande River valley to the west.

这些材料是静音的中性颜色，使建筑能够反映天空的季节性特征，并与深色金属皮肤并列，使物理形态与阴影的概念相提并论。色彩是动态的，既大胆又微妙，色彩鲜艳的天花板面折射色彩，漫射光线到相邻的表面，提供了潜意识的线索来理解自己在学校里的位置。

The materials are muted neutral colors allowing the building to reflect the seasonal qualities of the sky and are juxtaposed against dark metal skin bringing physical form to the notion of shadow. Color is dynamic being both bold and subtle with brightly colored ceiling planes refracting tinted diffuse light onto adjacent surfaces providing subliminal cues to understanding one’s place within the school.
