Silindokuhle 社区大厅

该项目位于南非伊丽莎白港郊区的Joe Slovo，这是一个新成立的乡镇，只有部分地区受益于政府的发展计划。项目所在地没有任何设施，也没有柏油路。周围的环境主要是用二手木材和钢板搭建的棚屋。几年前，乔-斯洛沃的一位当地人Patricia N. Piyani注意到她的社区缺乏专门的服务，就在自己的小屋里开办了一个小托儿所。很快，这里就太拥挤了，她决定建造一栋专用建筑。

This project is located in Joe Slovo on the outskirts Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Joe Slovo is a newly established township and only part of it benefited from the government development program. The site where the project takes place has no facilities and no tar roads. The surroundings are mainly shacks made out of second-hand timber and steel sheeting. A few years ago, noticing the lack of services dedicated to her community, one of Joe Slovo's local, Patricia N. Piyani started a little creche in her own shack. It quickly got too crowded and she decided to build a dedicated building.

为了帮助她，当地的一个非政府组织NGO决定发起一个项目，不仅要重建这个托儿所，还要通过增加新的设施，如技能中心、社区中心和菜园来提升它。该项目打算将社区完全融入到这个过程中，目的是确保改善工作的可持续性，并继续为整个社区带来新的活力。该项目平均预算与RDP房屋（政府建造的房屋）相同，试图表明通过不同的方式建造，我们可以获得更好、更大、更灵活的空间。这是通过使用大部分可回收材料和建立高效的建筑技术实现的。

To assist her, Love Story, a local NGO has decided to launch a project to rebuild this crèche but also to uplift it by adding new facilities such as a skill centre, a community centre and vegetables garden. The project intends to fully integrate the community into the process, the idea being to make sure the improvements are sustainable and continue to bring a new dynamic throughout the community. With on average the same budget as an RDP house (houses built by the government) the project tries to show that by building in a different way we can off the uses better, bigger and more flexible spaces. This was made possible by using mostly recycled materials and by establishing efficient building techniques.

项目的第二个目标是尝试开发简单和可复制的过程，这将给社区提供更多的工具和知识来继续他们自己的发展。我们决定使用类似于他们在建筑中使用的材料（托盘、瓦楞纸、轮胎等）。然后将这些材料进行改造，使其成为耐用、坚固的建筑元素。在整个过程中，我们还吸收了社区的各种成员，以便不断分享这些知识。这是一个双向的知识交流，因为我们可以从社区中学到很多东西，他们每天都在利用自己环境中的有限资源进行建设和重建。对我们来说，重要的是要告诉大家，我们也可以用这些廉价的材料来获得乐趣，而且，作为建筑师，我们必须找到方法和工具来将这些材料转化为独特的功能性物品。

The second objective of the project was to try to develop simple and reproducible processes, which would give the community more tools and knowledge to continue their own development. We decided to use similar materials to what they use for construction (palettes, corrugated sheets, tyres etc.). Those were then transformed in order to make  durable, solid building elements. We also integrated various members of the community throughout the process in order to continuously share this knowledge. It was a two-way knowledge exchange in the sense that we have a lot to learn from the community who everyday build and rebuild using limited resources from their own environment. It was important for us to show that we can also have fun with these cheap materials and that, as architects, we have to find the means and the tools to transform those in unique and functional objects.

这个项目由两座相互对峙的建筑组成：一边是有8个厕所和2个水槽的卫生建筑，另一边是主厅。一个预先存在的集装箱与主楼相连，并设有一个厨房和一个储藏室。要充分了解这个项目，必须知道它只是一个临时的托儿所。我们的想法是，当我们在对面的地块上建造真正的幼儿园时，它将作为孩子们的住所。然后，它将成为一个专门从事木工和金属加工的工作室。这座建筑确实被设计成了一个大厅，可以容纳各种用途。

The project consists in two building facing each other: on one side, the sanitation building with eight toilets and two sinks and on the other side, the main hall. A pre-existing container is plugged to the main building and hosts a kitchen and a storage room. To fully understand the project, one must know that it is only supposed to be a temporary crèche. The idea is that it hosts the children while we build the actual preschool on the opposite plot. It will then become a workshop dedicated to wood and metal work. The building was indeed designed as a hall that could host various usages throughout time.
