林间教室，英国 / Studio Weave

Belvue学校是一所男女同校的中学，提供学习上有障碍的特殊教育和其他一些教育需求。校园位于一个未被利用的林地旁边，学校将林地作为教育自然保护区。2014年，学校已经筹集到足够的资金来安装两个集装箱，作为林地的存储和支持空间。他们又联系了Weave工作室，咨询能否建立一些更灵活、更大的课外空间，并提供金额类似的预算。

Belvue School is a secondary school for boys and girls with moderate to severe learning difficulties and a range of other additional needs. The school site sits adjacent to an under utilized woodland which the school are managing as an educational nature reserve. In 2014 the school had already raised enough money to install two shipping containers to act as storage and support spaces for the woodland but approached Studio Weave to enquire whether it would be possible to achieve some more flexible, larger extracurricular spaces with a similar budget.

Weave工作室与学校合作开发了两个新的林地房间，与主教学楼分开，并提供150平方米的独特设施，项目的尺度比较居家且私隐。设计师不仅仅是为学校设计一座新建筑，而是为林地创造一种叙事方式，让使用者在与这个新开发的自然资产的互动变得更加富有想象力。

Studio Weave worked with the school to develop the design of two new woodland rooms that sit separately from the main school building and provide 150sqm of unique facilities, with a more domestic quality and intimate scale. Our approach to this project was about more than just designing a new building for the school, it was about creating a narrative for the woodland that would open up imaginative ways of engaging with this newly acquired natural asset.

设计师提出，操场和树林之间的边界更像是一个令人熟悉的学校环境和一个不可思议的神秘世界之间的边界。在这个非常重要的门槛上，林地房间作为一个“入口房间”，象征着另一个世界和秘密花园的入口。设计过程中开办了一个故事写作工作坊，设计师与学生一起为林地开发一个集体故事，并确定“入口房间”如何与之互动。

We identified that the boundary between the playground and woods marks the border between familiar school territory and the magical, mysterious world beyond. At this very important threshold the woodland rooms act as a ‘gatehouse’, and symbolise the entrance to another world/secret garden. The design process included story writing workshops with the students to develop a collective narrative for the woodland and identify how this ‘gatehouse’ could interact with it. The classrooms were required to provide three types of much-needed learning spaces.

当人们进入空间时，向下凹的屋顶允许创造一个更低的头部高度，从而构成一个亲密的居家式的尺度，而当人们向房间中心移动时，空间则会打开。弯曲的拱腹还能使光线穿过纵向天窗，横跨整个表面，从而使得空间中充满自然光。这种形式产生的叠加效应让空间可以完全自然通风。

The concave ceiling allowed us to create a lower head height as you enter the space creating an intimate domestic scale that opens up as you move towards the centre of the room. The curved soffit also enables light from the clerestory windows to spill across its entire surface, filling the space with natural light. The stack effect created by this form allows for the spaces to be entirely naturally ventilated.

“舒适的休息室”用于教学和与林地之间的互动，让学生们得以接触野生动物，对他们来说这是其他地方所不能提供的机会。同时这个休息室也可以作为一个让人可以冷静下来的私人空间。“社交厨房”包括一个咖啡馆，设有食物准备区，并为小群体提供进餐服务。不管天气如何，“凌乱的谷仓”允许学生进行户外学习。这些功能使学生能够在一个包容的社会中学习基本的生活技能，成为全面发展的公民。这个项目通过鼓励和激励学生承担额外的责任，使他们更加自主。学校培养他们的社会能力、情感交流和个人发展，使得他们在寻求就业机会的时候更加具有竞争力。

The ‘Cosy Lounge’ is used for teaching and engaging with the woodland, offering a connection to wildlife that many students don’t otherwise have, as well as being a private sensory space in which to calm down. The ‘Sociable Kitchen’ includes a café, with food preparation area and dining for small groups. The ‘Messy Barn’ allows outdoor learning, whatever the weather. These functions enable students to learn essential life skills in their transition to becoming well rounded citizens in an inclusive society. Through encouraging and inspiring students to adopt extra responsibilities and be more autonomous the school nurtures their social, emotional and personal development, leading them towards employment opportunities.

在设计和建造林地教室期间，Weave工作室与森林管理专家合作开发林地战略，以确保良好并细致入微地维护树木。林地战略旨在通过改善该地区的生物多样性，并解决在林地后面运行的繁忙的A级公路的影响，为更广泛的社区带来利益。

In parallel to the design and delivery of the woodland classrooms building, Studio Weave worked with a forest management specialist on developing a woodland strategy to ensure good maintenance and sensitive upkeep of the woods. The woodland strategy seeks to bring benefits to the wider community, by improving biodiversity in the area and addressing the effects of the busy A-road that runs along the back of the woodlands.
