创业狮校园是一个信息和通信技术（ICT）校园，位于肯尼亚的图尔卡纳湖畔。该项目通过提供高水平的培训和国际工作机会来应对该地区面临的青年失业的紧迫挑战，使青年企业家不必离开他们的原籍地就能在职业上得到发展。该校园将提供100个新的工作站，是在偏远地区传播信息和通信技术网络的宏伟愿景的第一步。
The Startup Lions Campus is an information and communication technologies (ICT) campus, located on the banks of Lake Turkana, Kenya. The project responds to the pressing challenge of youth unemployment faced in the region by offering high-level training and access to international job opportunities, allowing young entrepreneurs to thrive professionally without having to leave their place of origin. The campus will provide 100 new workstations and is the first step in an ambitious vision of spreading ICT networks in remote areas.
该项目颂扬了其所在地的独特形态和自然美景。该项目分两层建造，顺应自然坡度，并设有广阔的屋顶平台，可俯瞰图尔卡纳湖的全景。屋顶梯田被匍匐的植被遮蔽，提供了愉快的户外会议空间和非正式交流的机会。
The project celebrates the unique morphology and natural beauty of its site. It is built over two levels that follow the natural slope and features extensive roof terraces that offer sweeping views over Lake Turkana. The roof terraces are shaded by creeping vegetation, providing pleasant outdoor meeting spaces and opportunities for the informal exchange of ideas.
该建筑从该地区的白蚁群所建造的高耸的土丘中获得灵感。高大的通风塔创造了一种堆叠效应，通过向上抽取暖空气来自然冷却主要工作空间，而新鲜空气则通过特别设计的低层开口引入。这个系统使校园能够承受高温，而且特别适合，因为它可以防止灰尘损坏IT设备。除了其功能作用外，这些塔楼还在周围环境中创造了一个地标。
The building takes inspiration from the towering mounds built by termite colonies in the region. Tall ventilation towers create a stack effect to naturally cool the main working spaces by extracting warm air upwards, while fresh air is introduced through specially designed low-level openings. This system allows the campus to withstand high temperatures and is especially well suited as it prevents dust from damaging the IT equipment. In addition to their functional role, the towers create a landmark in the surroundings.
校园是由当地的采石场石料建成的，并进行了石膏装饰。在选择使用哪种材料和施工技术时，要权衡生态可持续性、成本和可用性等因素，以达成最佳的折衷方案。在这一决策过程中，与当地社区的合作是关键，从他们的经验和专业知识中汲取营养。
The campus is built out of locally sourced quarry stone with a plaster finish. In choosing which materials and construction techniques to use, ecological sustainability, cost, and availability factors were weighed to arrive at the best compromise. Collaboration with the local community was key in this decision-making process, drawing from their experience and expertise.
