设计挑战。
挑战是为一个先进的游泳池创造一个经济的覆盖物。约翰内斯堡坐落在一个被称为 “高纬度 “的高原上，海拔5000英尺，土地富含铁矿石，导致经常发生雷击事件。虽然气候温和，但夜间的温度会明显下降。新的游泳池需要既能覆盖又能加热。
Design Challenges:
The challenge was to create an economic covering for a state of the art pool. Johannesburg sits on a plateau known as the “highveld,” 5,000 feet above sea level, with earth rich in iron ore, causing frequent lightning strikes. Although the climate is temperate, night-time temperatures can drop significantly.The new pool was required to be both covered and heated.
场地描述。
占地58英亩的校园位于大约翰内斯堡地区的北部边缘，以前是一个马场，这反映在原有建筑的结构和校园的农村性质上。
Site Description:
A 58 acre campus located on the northern edge of the greater Johannesburg area, formerly a horse farm, which is reflected in both the architecture of the original buildings and the rural nature of the campus.
设计方案。
管状钢框架系统最大限度地减少了钢材的深度，并将侧向支撑无缝地纳入跨度中。纵横交错的图案让人想起非洲本土珠子和篮子编织的几何图案。这样一来，基本的东西就变得优雅起来。
Design Solutions:
Tubular steel framing system minimizes the depth of the steel and incorporates lateral bracing seamlessly into the span. The criss-cross pattern recalls the geometric patterns of native African beadwork and basket weaving.In this way, elegance is brought to something basic.
可操作的百叶窗调节日光并提供防雨保护。错落有致的、具有标准面板宽度的波纹丙烯酸天窗创造了一个引人注目的、具有成本效益的解决方案。
Operable louvers modulate daylight and provide protection from the rain. Staggered, corrugated acrylic skylights of a standard panel width create a dramatic, cost-effective solution.
结构两端的织物板可以调节空气流动，防止风洞效应。织物板、丙烯酸天窗和百叶窗的组合最大限度地减少了眩光，创造了温和的斑驳光线。简单的白色和浅灰色调与入口处的当地石材相结合，模拟了户外环境。
Fabric panels at each end of the structure modulate the air flow, preventing a wind tunnel effect. The combination of fabric panels, acrylic skylights, and louvers minimize glare, creating a gentle dappled light.The simple palette of white and light gray combined with local stone at the entry simulates an outdoor environment.
