CAUKIN工作室与非洲母亲慈善机构（MoA）合作，在赞比亚农村花了3个月时间，为常青学校建造了4间教室和一个教师办公室。慈善机构MoA成立于2004年，旨在改善产妇健康，降低产妇死亡率，实现所有妇女获得生殖健康的目标。MoA很快意识到，通过改善乡村儿童的教育，他们可以为慈善机构的总体目标做出长期的贡献。赞比亚的儿童通常只接受到14岁的教育；学校经常超员且条件恶劣。

Working in partnership with the charity Mothers Of Africa (MoA), CAUKIN Studio spent 3 months in rural Zambia constructing 4 classrooms and a teacher’s office for Evergreen School. The charity MoA was set up in 2004 with the aim of improving maternal health, reducing maternal mortality, and achieving access to reproductive health for all women. MoA quickly realised that by improving the education of the village children they could make a long term contribution to the charity’s overall objective. Children in Zambia are often only educated to the age of 14; with schools often oversubscribed and in poor conditions.

常青教室每班约有150名学生，因此很难有效地教授课程并为学生提供足够的空间来顺利学习。新增的4间教室将使每班学生人数降至40人，并将提供一个更明亮、更宽敞的教室来学习。

Evergreen classrooms had around 150 students per class, making it very difficult to effectively teach the curriculum and provide enough space for the students to learn successfully. The addition of 4 classrooms will bring class sizes down to 40 pupils each and will provide a brighter, more spacious classroom to learn within.

教育部雇用了30多名当地工人，由CAUKIN工作室在建设期间进行管理，其中50%以上是女性。由于赞比亚的失业率如此之高，重要的是这个项目也成为教授工人新技能的工具，增加他们未来的就业机会。

MoA employed over 30 local workers, managed by CAUKIN Studio for the duration of the build- over 50% of which were female. With unemployment rates in Zambia being so high, it was important that this project also became a vehicle to teach workers new skills increasing their opportunity for future employment.

设计采用了当地的风土人情，使用的材料都是在工地附近两小时内采购的，围绕着现有的教室，在学校内创造一个大的中央庭院。 每座两间教室的建筑都是偏移的，以创造一个分层的外墙，增加了趣味性并打破了大块的空间。

The design takes from the local vernacular, using materials all sourced within 2 hours of the site and wraps around the existing classrooms to create a large central courtyard within the school. Each block of two classrooms is offset to create a layered facade adding interest and breaking up the masses.

屋顶位于教室上方的钢桁架上，以增加下面空间的气流，并通过屋顶下的砖块进行通风。宽敞的体量通过完全可调节的窗户百叶窗充斥着光线，这些百叶窗可以在放学后被锁住。

The roof sits on steel trusses high above the classrooms to increase the airflow through the spaces below, venting through the hit and miss brickwork under the roof. The spacious volumes are flooded with light through the fully adjustable window shutters which can be locked down after school hours.

景观设计利用小的、半高的墙，决定了场地周围的运动，并为学生创造了非正式的休息空间，以便他们在放学后吃午饭或完成作业。为了确保所有材料得到有效利用，使慈善机构的预算最大化，所有景观元素都是用下脚料或多余的材料制作的，这意味着整个项目的浪费被控制在最低限度。砖块被浇筑在地板上，木质模板被用来制作门。

The landscaping utilises small, half-height walls that dictate movement around the site and create informal breakout spaces for students to eat their lunch or complete their homework after school. To ensure all materials were utilised effectively, maximising the charity’s budget, all landscaping elements were made from offcuts or excess materials, meaning that wastage across the whole project was kept to a minimum. Brick rubble was cast into the floors and the timber form work was used to make the doors.

总共使用了9000多块当地砖头、4000块混凝土、2000吨沙子和50000公斤水泥，所有的混凝土都是手工搅拌的。

In total, over 9000 local bricks, 4000 concrete blocks, 2000 tonnes of sand, and 50,000KG’s cement were used, with all of the concrete being mixed entirely by hand!
