位于哈拉雷市霍普利区的新星学校主要为儿童,也为社区的成年人形成了一个新的中心。这所小学成立于2010年,并不断发展壮大,在学校建筑完工后,成为附近小型住宅建筑的一个地标。

The Rising Star School in Hopley, a district of Harare, forms a new center primarily for the children, but also for the adults of the community. Founded in 2010 and growing continuously, this primary school becomes a landmark in the vicinity of smaller residential building structures after the completion of the school building.

建筑物的表现力通过巨大的,但–取决于视角–丝状的建筑,以圆形拱门为特征。课程在拱门下进行,因此形成了津巴布韦学校环境中的一个特点,否则就是千篇一律的建筑。

The expressive appearance of the building through the massive, but – depending on the perspective – filigree architecture is characterized by round arches. The lessons take place under the arches and thus form a characteristic feature in the environment of the otherwise uniformly built Zimbabwean schools.

在过去7年的7个建设阶段中,一个特别的特征是日常的共存:孩子们已经去了之前完成的阶段的班级,而建设者们则在隔壁的下一个阶段工作。这种合作不仅显示了相互尊重,也显示了对挑战的接受和持续支持。

A special feature during the seven construction phases over the last seven years is the everyday coexistence: the children go already to a class of the previously completed phase, while the builders work on the next phase right next door. This cooperation shows not only mutual respect but also the acceptance of challenges and continuous support.

很难相信,新校舍完全是手工制作的。近60万块砖是由砖匠们自己砌的,只有一些技术设备帮助施工。这里没有规范和可靠的水电供应。这就是为什么安静的施工现场,霍普利的新中心几乎是在不知不觉中出现的,其印象不亚于结果。在七年的施工过程中,连接和施工的细节被考虑和优化,最终导致了两层楼部分的建造。

It’s hard to believe that the new school building is entirely handcrafted. Almost 600,000 bricks were laid by the bricklayers themselves, and only a few technical devices helped with the construction. There is no regulated and reliable water and electricity supply here. This is why the quiet construction site, from which Hopley’s new center emerged almost imperceptibly, is no less impressive than the result. Details of connections and constructions are considered and optimized over the course of the seven-year construction period and finally result in the construction of the two-story part.

14间教室位于三个单层建筑中。幼儿园位于底层,学校行政部门位于两层楼部分的上层,该部分最后完工。由于屋顶的自然通风系统,所有的教室和行政室都有一个舒适的室内气候,所以没有什么应该阻碍成功的学习和教学。

The 14 classrooms are located in three single-story buildings. The kindergarten is on the ground floor, and the school administration is on the upper floor of the two-story part, which was completed at last. All classrooms and administration rooms have a pleasant indoor climate thanks to a natural ventilation system on the roof level so that nothing should stand in the way of successful learning and teaching.

建筑系统由35厘米厚的墙壁组成。教室与受保护的走道之间由钢玻璃幕墙隔开。在外面,它用坚固的砖墙来保护自己。立面和外墙内部的开口确保了自然交叉通风。双层屋顶在教室里创造了一个舒适的气候。

The construction system consists of 35cm thick walls. The classrooms are separated from the protected walkway by a steel-glass façade. To the outside, it shields itself with a solid brick wall. The openings inside the façade and the outer wall ensure natural cross ventilation. A double roof creates a comfortable climate in the classrooms.

天花板和屋顶之间的空间使通风成为可能。因此,通过屋顶进入建筑的太阳辐射可以被流动的空气直接引回这个通风层。教室不会被阳光直接加热。所有关于自然通风系统的细节都包含在设计的选择中。

The space between the ceiling and the roof makes ventilation possible. As a result, the solar radiation entering the building through the roof can be led back directly to this ventilation level by the air flowing through. The classrooms are not heated by direct sunlight. All details concerning the natural ventilation system are included in the choice of design.
