劳伦斯基金会赞助的学习馆部分是建筑，部分是挑战赛，是一个互动建筑，用作孟买贫困儿童的聚会空间和游戏区。
Partly a building, partly a challenge course, the Laureus Foundation sponsored Learning Pavilion is an interactive building used as a gathering space and play area for Mumbai’s underprivileged children.
该馆由BRIO建筑事务所设计，位于位于孟买附近的西高止山脚下的魔力巴士体验式学习中心。魔力巴士是一个非政府组织，旨在通过户外 “体验式 “学习对儿童进行教育和指导。
The pavilion, designed by Architecture BRIO is located on the Magic Bus Centre for Experiential Learning, situated near Mumbai at the foot of the Western Ghats. Magic Bus is an NGO which seeks to educate and mentor children through outdoor “experiential” learning.
魔力巴士中心的景观与孟买大多数儿童的日常生活环境形成了鲜明的对比。在空间匮乏的孟买，户外游戏场所很难得到，而该中心却拥有独特的各种不同的地形，供孩子们体验；河流、树林、自然小径、露营场，以及广阔的绿色足球草坪。所有这些都是为了促进非政府组织的 “边做边学 “的概念。
The landscape of the Magic Bus Centre is in stark contrast to the daily living environment of most of Mumbai’s children. While in space-starved Mumbai, outdoor play areas are hard to get by, the Centre is blessed with a unique variety of diverse terrains to be experienced by the children; a river, woods, nature trails, camping grounds, and expansive green lawns for soccer. All of which is intended to promote the NGO’s concept of “learning by doing”.
意识到城市中的儿童受空间稀缺的影响最严重，马修-斯帕西于1999年创立了 “魔法巴士”。在周末和晚上，他开始邀请住在他办公室对面的公共汽车站的流浪儿童跳过栅栏，这样他就可以指导他们打橄榄球。在他的辅导和指导下，这些男孩在几个月内学会了纪律，提高了自尊心和卫生意识，并理解了在健康的竞争环境中尊重团队成员和对手的重要性。对于许多被贫穷所累的孩子来说，运动课程提供了一个表达自己的机会，释放他们压抑的能量，并成为更大社区的一部分。
Realizing that children in the city are the worst affected by the scarcity of space, Matthew Spacie founded Magic Bus in 1999. On weekends and evenings he began inviting street kids living at the bus stand across from his office to hop the fence so he could coach them in rugby. Within a few months of his coaching and mentoring, these boys learned discipline, improved self-esteem, hygiene, and understood the importance of respecting team members and opponents in a healthy competitive environment.For many children burdened by the demands of poverty, the sport sessions provided an opportunity to express themselves, release their pent-up energy and be a part of the larger community.
神奇巴士
在成功地带领孩子们在孟买周围的山谷和山区进行周末夏令营之后，在城市之外建立一个永久性户外校园的想法诞生了。
Magic Bus
Af ter undertaking successful trips taking groups of kids on weekend camps in the valleys and mountains surrounding Mumbai, the idea of a permanent outdoor campus outside of the city was born.
这个项目的第一阶段由Rahul Mehrotra Associates设计，包括儿童宿舍、餐饮馆、志愿者住宿和资源中心。第一期工程包括一个带有攀岩墙、雅各布梯和滑索的挑战课程。BRIO建筑事务所设计了项目的第二阶段，其中包括员工宿舍、企业促进中心和劳伦斯学习馆的建议。
The first Phase of this project comprising of children’s dormitories, a dining pavilion, volunteers accommodation and a resources centre was designed by Rahul Mehrotra Associates. A challenge course with climbing walls, Jacob’s ladders and zip lines completed the first phase. Architecture BRIO designed the second phase of the project, which included proposals for staff accommodation, a facilitation center for corporates and the Laureus Learning Pavilion.
学习馆
虽然为贫困儿童提供的户外校园学习馆是一个非常具体的项目，但该馆需要能够容纳各种活动，如团队建设研讨会、游戏、简报会、小组讨论、手工课、搭建竹筏和攀岩。
Learning Pavilion
While a learning pavilion on an outdoor campus for underprivileged children is a very specific program, the pavilion needs to be able to accommodate a wide variety of activities such as team building workshops, games, briefing sessions, group discussions, craft classes, raft building and climbing.
地点
建筑师BRIO选择将学习馆建在四个重要景观元素的交汇处：一条季节性的小溪绕过山岗，在现有的足球场两侧最终形成一条河流。通过战略性地将学习馆的各种活动置于溪流两岸，这些元素得到了强调。
Location
Architecture BRIO chose to locate the Learning Pavilion on a confluence of four important landscape elements: a seasonal stream turns around a hillock and culminates in a river while flanking an existing soccer field. These elements are emphasized by strategically placing the various activities of the Learning Pavilion on either side of the banks of the stream.
挑战赛
魔术巴士中心的挑战赛被延伸到展馆内，使其成为一条建筑路线，并将景观、展馆、活动和体验联系在一起。通往展馆上层的两个平台的通道和循环是通过丘陵地形以及木制攀登梯提供的。
从足球场出发，一座放置在挖掘出来的岩石上的木桥将你从溪流上引到山岗上。一系列上山的台阶在一个水泥地面的儿童游戏区结束，在这里进行的足球比赛中，它成为运动场的一个观察平台。在山丘内的这个平台下面，隐藏着亭子的厕所设施。一个29米长的有机玻璃屋顶延伸开来，覆盖了第二个平台和一个大型的双层高度的车间空间。这个通风的双层空间将被用来玩游戏、建造木筏、使用迷你雅各布梯或只是坐在树荫下。
横跨溪流的悬臂木甲板与一座定制的木/钢绳桥相连。蹦蹦跳跳的绳索桥障碍赛使得从一个活动空间到另一个活动空间的常规通道成为一个令人兴奋的事件。它也成为一个观景廊，在那里为使用雅各布天梯的攀登者提供指导和加油。
在木质甲板下面，有一个水上运动的储藏室，里面有皮划艇和独木舟，由一系列钢网双门封闭。这个甲板延伸到运动场上，成为周围树木的一个观景平台。两个木制爬梯将孩子们带到花岗岩石料铺成的底层。
材料化
由深绿色油漆钢柱和半透明屋顶组成的轻质结构使其在背景中消失。由于该项目的预算相当低，结构的设计使其使用最少的材料，并有最多的覆盖和遮蔽空间。屋顶下面的空间是向四面开放的。在夏季，屋顶的阴凉创造了一个喘息的机会，而从河边吹来的自然风则为有顶的空间带来凉爽。在季风季节，该亭子成为一个干燥的空间，以躲避大雨。
通过体育改变社会
考虑到魔力巴士校园是一个户外体验式学习和体育促进发展的中心，儿童在这里参与障碍赛，BRIO建筑公司将学习馆设计成一个互动建筑，成为这个挑战赛的一部分。
它鼓励孩子们通过各种方式找到自己的道路，并穿过展馆，挑战他们的极限。
它将体育和活动作为建筑的一个组成部分，将神奇巴士通过体育改变社会的理念变为现实。
Challenge Course
The challenge course on the Magic Bus Centre is extended into the pavilion turning it into an architectural route and binding the landscape, the pavilion, activities and experiences together. Access and circulation to the two decks on the upper floor of the pavilion is provided through the hilled topography as well as wooden climbing ladders.
From the soccer field a log bridge placed on excavated rocks leads you over the stream to the hillock. A series of steps up the hill ends on a cement floored children’s game area which becomes a viewing platform of the sports field during the soccer matches played here. Tucked away below this deck inside the hill are the toilet facilities for the pavilion. A 29 meter long plexiglass roof stretches out covering a second deck and a large double height workshop space. This airy, double height space will be used to play games, build rafts, use the mini Jacob’s ladder or just sit in the shade.
The cantilevered timber deck across the stream is connected with a custom made timber / steel ropes bridge. The bouncy ropes bridge obstacle course makes the otherwise conventional passage from one activity space to another an exciting event. It also becomes a viewing gallery, from which to instruct and cheer climbers using the Jacob’s ladder.
Below the timber deck a watersports store room with kayaks and canoes is enclosed by a series of steel mesh double doors. This deck projects out over the sports field and becomes a viewing platform of the surrounding trees. Two wooden climbing ladders take the children down to the granite stone paved ground floor.
Materialisation
The lightweight structure of the pavilion consisting of dark green painted steel columns and a semi-transparent roof allows it to disappear in the background. As the budget for the project was considerably low, the structure is designed such that it uses the least amount of materials with the maximum amount of covered, shaded spaces. The space below the roof is open to all sides. In the summer months the shade of the roof creates a respite from the heat while natural breeze flowing from the river cools the covered spaces. During the monsoon months the pavilion becomes a dry space to take cover from heavy rains.
Social Change through Sports
Keeping in mind the nature of the Magic Bus Campus as a center for outdoor experiential learning and sport for development, where children engage with obstacle courses, Architecture BRIO designed the Learning Pavilion as an interactive building becoming part of this Challenge Course.
Encouraging children to find their own path up down and across the pavilion through various ways, it challenges them to overcome boundaries.
I t integrates sport and activity as an integral par t of the architecture, bringing to life magic bus’s philosophy of social change through sport.
