黑犀牛学院是一所中小学国际寄宿学校,被设想为一个向大自然学习的沉浸式环境。学校坐落在坦桑尼亚恩戈罗戈罗保护区管理局和令人叹为观止的恩戈罗戈罗火山口外的一个丘陵地带,周围有丰富的自然植被和丰富的野生动物。

Black Rhino Academy is a primary and secondary international boarding school conceived as an immersive environment for learning from nature. Situated on a very hilly site just outside Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, the school is surrounded by rich natural vegetation and abundant wildlife.

校园总体规划的灵感来自于该地区几千年来的规划原则–Iraqw/Masai Boma定居点。这些村落以环形的小型建筑单元组织起来,通常由住宅、牲畜圈和储存空间组成,这些空间由荆棘丛连接起来,形成村落周围的保护带。

The campus masterplan is inspired by a planning principle vested in the region for millennia–the Iraqw/Masai Boma settlements. Organised in rings of small building units, these villages typically consists of clusters of homes, animal pens, and storage spaces that are connected by thorn bushes forming protective belts around the villages.

学校的课程、时间表和活动被分为三个集群或 “岛屿”,以创造生活、学习和娱乐的场所。这些地方通过一条小路相互连接,创造了一个安全而又开放的环境,既保护了野生动物,又保护了野生动物。

The school program, schedule and activities are divided into three clusters or ‘Islands’–to create places to Live, Learn and Play. These are interconnected by a pathway, creating a safe yet open environment protected from and yet within the wildlife.

“生活岛 “位于现场最具环境吸引力的位置,以确保为儿童提供最好的生活条件,这是学习的基础。宿舍楼面向东升的太阳,每间宿舍都有公共休息区,让孩子们能够聚集在一起,玩耍,有家的感觉。’学习岛’由教室楼组成,呈网格状坐落在坡地上。学校礼堂是一个简单而又标志性的建筑,悬空于自然坡地上,在其下方形成了一个露天剧场,供学校的一般集会使用。游戏岛 “包括运动场,位于场地中唯一的平坦区域。其余的地方,则是一个起伏不定的游戏景观,孩子们可以在这里探索景观,发挥自己的想象力。

The ‘Live Island’ is located in the most environmentally attractive location on site–to ensure the best living conditions for the children, fundamental for learning. The dormitory buildings are oriented to the rising east sun and with common lounge areas in each dormitory to enable the children to gather, play and feel at home. The ‘Learn Island’ consists of classroom blocks situated in a grid on the sloping landscape. The school hall is a simple yet iconic building that overhangs the natural slope forming an amphitheatre beneath it for the general school assemblies. The ‘Play Island’ includes the sports field and is located on the only flat area of the site. The rest, an undulating playscape where children can explore the landscape and live their imaginations.

使用古老的方法,在其自身的重量下悬挂一条链子,我们创造了一系列的双链拱门,在其自然的位置,用土砖。这些拱门将结构柱和阶梯式挡土墙连接成一个连续的元素,为学校走廊提供遮挡物和座椅。反向导管拱门为每个拱门提供了一种简单的方法,使其具有独特的尺寸,以应对建筑与起伏的景观之间的不同关系。校园经过精心规划,位于斜坡上,由坡道连接,为残疾人提供舒适的通道。

Using the age-old method of hanging a chain under its own weight, we create a series of catenary arches, in their natural positions from earth bricks. These arches connect the structural columns and stepped retaining walls into a continuous element, that provide shelter and seating benches in the school hallways. The reverse catenary arches provide a simple method for each arch to be uniquely sized to respond to the varying relationships between building and the undulating landscape. The campus is carefully planned and located on the slopes connected by ramps to provide comfortable access for disabled persons.

黑犀牛学院旨在提供一个视觉和体验的环境,促进快乐和创新的学习体验,并向孩子和整个社区灌输优秀教育的价值。
