旁遮普的天气和地形与我们之前经历的任何事情都不同。
从天气上看，它是一片极端的土地。夏天几乎飙升至50度，冬天则降至零度。
The weather & topography of Punjab was unlike anything we had experienced before.
Weather-wise, it’s a land of extremes. Summers soar almost up to 50 degrees and winters drop to zero degrees.
农村的地形相当有趣。这里的居民点就像一个密集的星系，为了远离肥沃和高度灌溉的可耕地而建立。这里是全国粮食产量最高的地区之一。
The topography of the countryside is quite interesting. The settlements here are akin to a galaxy of dense clusters, created in order to stay clear of the cultivable land which is fertile and highly irrigated. This is one of the highest grain-yielding regions in the country.
数英里长的不间断的平地，没有任何山脉的阻挡，产生了高速的敌意风，也带来了相当大的灰尘。
Miles and miles of uninterrupted flat land, with the absence of obstruction by any mountains, produces high-speed hostile winds that also bring in considerable dust.
学校位于其中一个集群的郊区，位于田地之间，由于稻米作物的常年存在，在夏季给我们带来了风景和凉爽的风。 但在每个收获周期结束时，会经常出现沙尘暴。还有一个问题是焚烧秸秆，随风飘来大量的灰。
The school was situated on the outskirts of one of these clusters in between the fields which gave us scenic views and cool winds in the summer months due to the standing rice crop. But at the end of each harvest cycle, there would be frequent dust storms. There was also the problem of stubble burning which brought in considerable ash with the winds.
这就导致了学校建筑的弧形形态的演变。堡垒般的空白墙面旨在偏转狂风，并使它们以更温和的姿态通过建筑群的开放空间。
This led to the evolution of the arc-shaped form of the school building. The fortress-like blank walls aim to deflect the gusty winds and channel them through the open pockets of the built mass in a gentler avatar.
空白墙的灰褐色是为了与周围的土壤相匹配，这样它们所承受的风化作用就会被掩盖。
The taupe color of the blank walls is to match that of the surrounding soil so that the weathering they endure gets camouflaged.
墙体的断裂被色彩鲜艳的桥梁元素所衔接。大多数的开口都是朝向小庭院的，这些小庭院是由建筑形式的指状体创造的。很少有开口是朝向入射风的方向。球场在白天都是相互遮挡的。球场的大小和规模一直保持亲密，因为它们也是低龄儿童的游戏空间–这些可能也是冬季教室的双重用途
Breaks in the wall are articulated by brightly colored bridge elements. Most openings are oriented toward small courts that are created by the finger-like massing of the built form. Very few openings are in the direction of the incident winds. The courts are mutually shaded through the day. The size and scale of the courts have been kept intimate as they also play spaces for the younger children – these may perhaps double up as winter classrooms as well!
