林地教室位于树林的边缘,由其他小型博物馆建筑群共享的户外集会空间。该项目是两个独立的教室,由一个大屋顶连接。教室之间的空间是一个微风走廊,可以看到树林的景色。屋顶上有九个天窗,为下面的空间提供了自然光。

The woodland classroom is located at the edge of the woods by an outdoor gathering space shared by a cluster of other small museum buildings. The program is two separate classrooms joined by a large roof. The space between the classrooms is a breezeway that frames views of the woods. The roof is punctured by nine skylights that flood spaces beneath with natural light.

通往教室的路是从东边走的,引导博物馆的参观者走向微风走廊。从这个角度看,建筑是简单的、低矮的、安静的,与内部的轮廓、高大和通风的空间形成了对比。这两间教室是 “连体双胞胎”,拥有相同的项目,由一个屋顶连接,但拥有各自的特点。该建筑已成为博物馆的营地活动和户外聚会的中心。

The approach to the classrooms is from the east and guides museum-goers towards the breezeway. The building is simple, low, and quiet from this view, a counterpoint to the contoured, tall, and airy spaces within. The two classrooms are “conjoined twins,” possessing identical programs and connected by a single roof, but possessing individual character. The building has become the center for camp activities and outdoor gatherings at the museum.

该项目的预算并不高。建筑是木结构的,屋顶桁架在头顶上形成一个宽大的屋顶天棚。这些桁架的形状直接表现在耙端屋檐上。屋顶悬垂在各个方向都很宽大,立缝屋顶板的色调很浅,以反射太阳的热量。有限的窗户开口被明智地安排在每个教室内,以突出林地的环境。

The budget for the project was modest. Construction is wood-framed, with roof trusses forming a broad roof canopy overhead. The shape of these trusses is expressed directly at the rake end eaves. Roof overhangs are generous in all directions, and the standing seam roof panels are light in tone to reflect the sun’s heat. Limited window openings are judiciously located to feature the woodland environs from within each classroom.
