"学校是生活中令人愉快和丰富的一部分，在这里，学生们可以安全地探索他们的真正方向"——北辰学校的愿景，这是一所为改变教育生态系统而建立的进步机构。客户最初的想法是，每一个孩子在北辰校园的经历都是由建筑塑造的，这是非常重要的一部分。该项目位于17.8英亩荒地的东南角，毗邻Rajkot- Bhavnagar公路上的RK大学校园。

“School is an enjoyable and enriching part of life where students can safely explore their True North” - reads the vision of The Northstar School, a progressive institution established to transform the educational ecosystem. The client’s initial brief was that, a very important part of every child's experience in Northstar be shaped by architecture. The project sits on the south eastern corner of a 17.8-acre barren site located adjoining the RK University campus on Rajkot- Bhavnagar highway.

印度西北部的半干旱气候，多尘但多风的场地条件，以及拉杰科特20-30天的季风和RK大学的STP水供应成为项目的设计的主要背景。整体总体规划被设想为整合了三个阶段的发展，其中只有第一阶段被建成。开放式走廊、建筑方向和未来发展都被纳入整体规划。主要功能被安置在地下和一楼，以保持建筑空间对儿童的友好。

The semi-arid climate of north-west India, dusty yet windy site conditions, 20- 30 days of monsoons in Rajkot and supply of STP water from RK University were influential contextual pointers. Overall master planning was conceived integrating three phases of development of which only Phase -1 is built. Open- ended corridors, building orientation and future development were factored into the overall planning. Key functions are accommodated in ground and first floors to keep the built space child friendly.

项目主要目的是找到与自然学习的方法。学校的基本单位是教室。因此，设计过程从设计一个单独的教室模块开始，它有交叉通风、自己的私人花园和一个露天庭院。这个模块被迭代以从一个部分到达一个整体。两个教室之间是一个更大的花园，很容易监控，有表演空间和教学设施。

The primary intent was to find ways to learn with nature. The fundamental unit of schools are classrooms. So, the design process started in programming a single classroom module with cross ventilation, its own private garden and an open to sky jallied courtyard. This module was iterated to arrive from a part to a whole. Between two classrooms is a larger garden that is easily monitored, has a performance space and provisions for conducting classes.

从古吉拉特邦的阶梯井中获得灵感，一个中央庭院将每个模块内的所有空间联系在一起，并在所有阶段复制。这个中央的阶梯和植被庭院作为多功能空间和流通空间，可用于大型聚会。庭院内的绿化带、爬山虎和藤蔓中集成了一个舞台，供儿童或工作人员表演。

Drawing inspiration from stepped wells of Gujarat, a central courtyard ties all the spaces within each module and is replicated in all phases. This central stepped and vegetated courtyard serves for larger gatherings as a multi-purpose space and for circulation. Integrated within the courtyard amidst the green pockets, creepers and vines is a stage, that is used by children or staff to perform.

在结构工程师的努力下，二楼的体量轻盈悬挑在空间，并设有一个可容纳250人的多功能大厅。当人们沿着带着厚厚雨篷的主入口走道行走时，该结构在视觉上创造了一种存在感。

With due credits to the structural engineer, the massing on the second floor sits lightly on the floor below and houses a 250-persons capacity multipurpose hall. The structure visually creates a presence as one walks along the heavily canopied main entry walkway.

所有楼层都有两个立面——底层的Jalli和一楼的的爬山虎屏风，在允许自然照明的同时屏蔽灰尘并提供安全。当探索外墙材料时，标准是它必须是当地可获得的，具有泥土的色调，反映出机构的特征，并且是经济的。Bella，一种天然的赤陶色硬石灰石，被用来将建筑形式与现有的环境相融合。

A secondary skin – Jalli in ground floor and an ambitious creeper screen in first floor, has been planned in all floors to allow natural light, shield dust and provide security. When exploring material for the façade, the criteria was for it to be locally available, have an earthy tone, reflect an institutional character and be economical. Bella, a natural hard lime stone in terracotta color, has been used to blend the built form with existing surroundings.

▽项目材料的运用 The materials of the building

北辰学校的建筑在规划中，随着建筑的老化，景观会给空间增加更多的生命力，从而使其成为主人。目前，一只印度猫头鹰居住在一个未被使用的截断的管道中，古莫哈尔树为主要的行人入口铺上了红地毯，北辰的园艺项目让学生了解动植物的重要性。北辰的设计基础在于利用当地材料探索当代设计，利用区域参考来定义建筑形式，并为复杂的设计问题找到简单的解决方案。

Architecture at The Northstar School has been planned such that as the building ages, landscape adds in more life into the space therefore taking ownership. Presently, an Indian owl resides in an unused truncated duct, the gulmohar trees lay a red carpet for the main pedestrian entry and Northstar’s horticulture program engages the learners on importance of flora & fauna. The design foundations at Northstar lie on ideologies of exploring contemporary design with local material, using regional references to define built form and finding simplistic solutions for complex design problems.
