湘郡礼德学校是一所面积 10.7 万平方米的 K12 学校，一期 3~12 岁学段建筑已大部交付使用，二期 13~18 岁学段预计于 2022 年秋季交付。学校校址位于沈从文先生笔下纯美的湘西山水之间。场地初始仅东北角一条原生小径能够进入，沿山麓蜿蜒向南，连接场地南侧尚在规划中的城市道路，并将占据场地 3/4 面积的丘陵与相对平缓的谷地区隔开来，实测场地高差约 52M。场地东、南连天继日的山系间，杭瑞高速从崖壁贯出，逶迤南去。

Xiangjun Lide School is a K12 campus with an area over 107,000 square meters. Phase I of the campus has already been delivered, which is for ages 3 to 12. Phase II for ages 13 to 18, is expected to be delivered in next autumn. The site is located in a beautiful landscape of western Hunan as written by Mr. Shen Congwen. The site is initially accessible only by a native path in the northeast corner, which winds southward along the foothills of the mountains, connecting the city road which is still under planning. The path separates the hills, which occupy 3/4 of the site, from the valley. The measured site drop is about 52 meters. Among the mountains in the south and east of the site, the Hang-Rui Expressway runs out from the cliff and winds southward.

面对这样一方自然造化的场地，我们坚信这些绵延不绝的石头山所造就的环境基质，是这里的孩子之所以能长为“这里人”的根本教义。设计过程中的核心思考，便是如何在充分尊重和保持原有山体地貌的基础上，将作为外来人造物的建筑植入其间，与场地以及周边山体环境形成积极的对话共生。

With such a naturally created site, we firmly believe that the environmental matrix created by these endless rocky mountains is the fundamental teaching that makes the children grow up to be real local residents. The core consideration in design is how to fully respect and maintain the original landscape, while implanting the buildings, which considered to be intrusive man-made object to form a positive dialogue and symbiosis with the natrual landscape.
