吉布提位于非洲之角，遭受着持续的干旱和严重的匮乏。SOS Kinderdorf邀请我们设计一个由15栋房屋组成的住宅区，在那里开展他们的家庭强化项目。

Djibouti is located in the Horn of Africa, which suffers from persistent droughts and severe scarcities. We were approached by SOS Kinderdorf to design a residential compound of 15 houses where to run their family-strengthening programmes.

我们了解了SOS系统、项目所在的社区、他们的游牧传统和该地区的极端气候。我们在类似的文化和气候环境中寻找传统的住房参考，最终决定设计一个具有某些独特性的MEDINA。

We learnt about SOS systems, about the community where the project would take place, their nomadic traditions and the extreme climate of the region. We searched for traditional housing references in similar cultural and climatic environments and finally decided to design a MEDINA with certain singularities:

A 这是一个儿童的medina 一个安全的环境，没有汽车，狭窄的街道和广场成为玩耍的地方。
B–这是一个拥有大量开放空间的medina–公共空间和私人空间分工明确。而在私密处，内外区域融为一体，让居民保持一定的户外生活。
C–这是一个拥有大量植被的麦地那–在这里，居民被鼓励去照顾他们的植物，并从中受益。

A – It is a medina for children – A safe environment, with no cars, where the narrow streets and squares become places to play
B – It is a medina with plenty of open spaces – Public and private spaces are clearly defined. And in the private, the inside and outside areas melt, allowing residents to maintain certain outdoors living.
C – It is a medina with lots of vegetation – Where the inhabitants are encouraged to take care of their plants and benefit from the result.

在分布方面，所有的房屋都遵循相同的方案，但排列方式不同，相互靠近，相互遮挡，在它们之间产生了明显的无序的小巷。对自然通风和遮阳进行了深入的研究，在需要的地方引入了自然通风塔。

In terms of distribution, all houses follow the same scheme but are arranged in different ways, placed close to each other giving shade one another and generating alleys between them in an apparent disordered way. Natural ventilation and sun shading was intensely studied, introducing natural ventilation towers where needed.

这个项目的建设得益于一个国际化的团队，它反映了我们专业实践中不同背景的混合，使每个项目都有非常丰富的经验。
