印尼肉桂培训中心

这个美丽的印尼肉桂培训中心项目从2010年启动。缘起始于法国商人PatrickBarthelemy的拜访。他对建筑师讲了供应全球85%肉桂的苏门答腊岛的故事，提到肉桂生产地的工作环境不安全以及不卫生。建筑师对此留下了深刻的印象，一年后，他们在这里为当地农民和工人建设了一个可持续发展的肉桂培训学校。不仅仅是为了更好的竞争，也不仅仅是为了良好的企业形象，这个肉桂学校最优先考虑的还是道德问题。树立了一个标准，保证当地农民和工人的收入，医疗保健，教育机会。

培训中心有着牢固的砖和混凝土基础，轻型的木制支撑结构。背面是葱郁的肉桂树森林，前方是美丽的湖景。600平方米的屋顶最大化的阻隔太阳和引入自然通风。材料都是本地的，木材选用的是肉桂树的树干。在门窗等细部上使用了动人的细腻设计。大型的Y型结构用螺栓牢牢的固定。巨大的屋顶之下有五个砖房，分别是小型实验室，教室，办公室，厨房。

这样规模的项目只用了三个月完成，物流是最大的挑战。70个工人和8头水牛分别进行伐木和运输的工作。用了10个简单的环节控制项目，让没有经过专业训练的员工也能完成这个项目。同时项目还能经受住当地频发的地震考验。是一个安全，卫生，可持续的工作学习场所。

The work on Cassia Coop Training Centre started during the autumn of 2010. It all began with a visit from a French businessman, Patrick Barthelemy. He had come all the way from Sumatra to our office in Trondheim, and sat before us with a fascinating story and a briefcase full of cinnamon. Part of the story told of how an area of Sumatra supplies 85 % of the cinnamon consumed worldwide. Yet another and more sinister part of the story concerned workers without rights, underpaid and working long days in unsafe and unsanitary factories. The story made an impression on us. After a year of planning we found ourselves deep within the cinnamon forests of Sumatra, ready to design and build a sustainable cinnamon school for local farmers and workers.

Cassia Coop Training Centre has become a unique centre with ambitions of being better than its competitors, not only in qualty, but first and foremost in ethics. The centre wishes to set a new standard in how to run a socially well functioning enterprise; local farmers and workers will receive proper payment, a decent healthcare program and have access to schools and education. In addition, the factories of Cassia Coop will be sanitary and safe.

The main idea behind the project is the classic consept of a light wooden construction on a base of heavy brick and concrete. The wooden construction gives a feeling of being within a cinnamon forest. Cassia Coop Training Centre is built around a pair of mighty durian trees, with a scenic view of the beautiful Kerinci-lake in the front and with its back towards lush cinnamon forest. A major challenge has been to create a naturally ventilated climate beneath a roof surface of no less than 600 square meters. Knowledge and experience gained in former projects have greatly aided us in achieving this, through the use of thermal mass, reduction of sunrays and maximized eaves.

The project is mainly constructed from the use of two materials; locally crafted brick and the trunk of the cinnamon tree. The trunks are a by-product from the cinnamon production and it has a low status among the locals. This low status, however, seem quite undeserved, and so we chose to utilize the trunks in everything from the main construction to the interior of the centre. The finesse of craftsmanship found on, amongst other things, the doors and windows of the centre, is some of the most impressive we have witnessed during our projects.

The main construction consists of a mass produced Y-pillar, bolted down into a concrete footing. The placement of the pillars subordinates to the floor-plans, while the system of the construction secures tightness and rigidity. Underneath the massive roof surface we find five brick buildings, amongst them a small laboratory, classrooms, offices and a kitchen.

In a project of this size, with a short timeframe of three months, logistics will present itself as one of the major challenges. With seventy workers taking part, eight water buffaloes hauling trees from the forest and an on-site sawmill, project management becomes essential. The entire project is made up of ten simple details. Basic and pragmatic approach to design made it possible to realize this project with an untrained workforce.

Another major challenge of building in this area is the frequent earthquakes. The construction has already survived several quakes reaching over five on the Richters scale. This proves that the idea of separating different building components with different material frequency works. Cassia Coop Training Centre has passed the test of the forces of nature. We hope and believe it will also fulfil its ambition of giving the local farmers and workers a safe, sanitary and socially sustainable workplace. Cassia Coop Training Centre was completed on the first of October 2011.
