在泰国达克的一个市政垃圾处理场中心，居住着400名来自缅甸的移民。这是一座绿植环绕的岛屿，也是一个空间、权力和身份互相冲突的地方。长久以来的结构性不平等导致移民无法获得相应的社会和经济机会，于是他们来到湄索寻求庇护，通过出售塑料废品来换取微薄的利润。两年来，Estudio Cavernas对社区成员进行了整体培训，教他们如何在社区当地开采材料并进行可持续性的建筑设计。

At the heart of a municipal waste centre, home to 400 Burmese migrants, lies an island of green and a site where space, power and identity collide. Faced with decades of structural inequality which have denied them access to social and economic opportunities, the migrants in this community have sought refuge in Mae Sot, Thailand where they collect plastic for a nominal profit. For two years, Estudio Cavernas has trained members of this community, utilizing a holistic approach to capacity development in which workers are trained in sustainable construction techniques sourcing local materials for the development of their own communities.

绿岛位于安置点中心，为孩子们提供了一个集中、可达且安全的学习和娱乐空间。该建筑以物理空间的形成力为前提，旨在创造多种机会来满足儿童的社会、身体和认知需求。

Located at the core of the settlement, the Green Island provides a centrally located, accessible, and safe space where children can learn and play together. Premised on the formative power of physical space, the Island is designed to create multiple opportunities to fulfil children’s social, physical, and cognitive needs.

考虑到该地区的极端天气条件，该中心的西南面被具有防护性的柚木树所包围，以使建筑免遭雨水和阳光的侵袭。在季风季节建筑容易遭受强降雨影响，为了避免雨水对结构的破坏，设计团队将建筑抬高的同时，还打造了一个低成本的法国排水系统来缓解洪流。建筑物三侧的大型开口为室内提供了横向通风和自然采光。建筑的整体结构和地板由再生木材构成，在当地组装的甘蔗茅草被用作屋顶。团队在茅草屋顶下添加铝锌合金内层，并在其中放置垂直的桉树中间层，以形成气室从而避免屋顶产生过多辐射。
