New York-based Toshiko Mori Architect has created a circular building topped with a thatch roof for the Fass School and Teachers Residence in the rural village of Fass in eastern Senegal.
Created in collaboration with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and Le Korsa not-for-profit organisations, the school was designed by Toshiko Mori Architect for 300 students aged from five to 10.
In total, there are four classrooms of different sizes and two open flexible spaces arranged in a circle around a central courtyard to give the school a variety of spaces for children of different ages.
總部位於紐約的Toshiko Mori Architects為塞內加爾東部鄉村Fass的Fass School and Teachers Residence創建了一個帶有茅草屋頂的圓形建築。
該學校由約瑟夫·安妮·阿爾伯斯基金會和Le Korsa非營利組織合作創建，由Toshiko Mori Architect設計，可容納300名5至10歲的學生。
總共有四個大小不同的教室和兩個開放的靈活空間，圍繞中央庭院圍成一圈，為學校提供了不同年齡的兒童使用的各種空間。
“The circular shape provides for easy circulation of teachers between classrooms, while variation in the perimeter walls in terms of height and proximity to one another gives each classroom a unique spatial quality,” explained Toshiko Mori, founder of Toshiko Mori Architect.
“The inward orientation of the classrooms towards the central courtyard and the continuous roof reinforces the feeling of community fostered by a shared school setting, even across different age groups or class populations,” she told Dezeen.
“圓形形狀使教師可以在教室之間輕鬆地流通，而周長高度和彼此之間的接近度方面的變化使每個教室都具有獨特的空間品質，” Toshiko Mori Architect的創始人Toshiko Mori解釋說。
她對Dezeen說：“教室朝向中央庭院的向內方向和連續的屋頂增強了共享學校環境所營造的社區感，即使在不同年齡段或階級人群中也是如此。”
Both the school and the neighbouring teacher’s residence have a distinctive circular shape that, along with being practical, references local housing.
The architecture studio hopes that this will make the school relatable, but also distinctive.
學校和附近的教師住所都具有獨特的圓形形狀，除了實用之外，還引用了本地房屋。
建築工作室希望這將使學校變得與眾不同，但又與眾不同。
“The school’s circular design was informed by ancient impluvium family houses, a vernacular typology of the Senegalese region of Ziguinchor and Casamance, which similarly orient rooms in a circle around a central courtyard,” said Mori.
“The Fass School uses this vernacular geometry but applies it at a much larger scale, making a building that is at once familiar to residents as a place of familial and community gathering, yet strikingly iconic amongst the surrounding steppe landscape.”
森說：“學校的圓形設計得益於古老的即興家庭住宅，這是塞內加爾的Ziguinchor和Casamance地區的鄉土語言學，它們類似地將房間定向成圍繞中央庭院的一圈。”
“法斯學校使用這種白話幾何，但將其應用到更大的規模，使建築物立即成為居民熟悉的家庭和社區聚會場所，但在周圍的草原景觀中具有顯著的標誌性意義。”
The school was constructed from materials found near the site. Its walls are made from compressed-mud bricks from earth found on-site and the bamboo beams and thatch for the roof were grown nearby.
Toshiko Mori Architect aimed to used local materials to demonstrate alternatives to the government-mandated school designs usually used in the region.
這所學校是用附近的材料建造而成的。 它的牆壁是用現場發現的泥土壓制的泥磚砌成的，附近的竹樑和茅草也種在了屋頂上。
森敏俊建築師（Toshiko Mori Architect）的目的是使用本地材料來展示該地區通常使用的政府強制性學校設計的替代方案。
“We looked to the thatch roofs of the aforementioned impluvium houses as an improvement on the local government-mandated school typology, which uses corrugated metal roofs,” said Mori.
“These echo the sound of flash flood rains during the rainy season, which can make school lessons unable to be heard. Additionally, the metal roof transmits extreme heat during the summer months, making the classroom unusable,” she continued.
“In contrast, thatch, a locally-available material, dulls the sound of flash flood rains and insulates against heat during the hot summer months.”
森說：“我們將上述臨時房屋的茅草屋頂視為對當地政府規定的學校類型的改進，後者使用了波紋金屬屋頂。”
她繼續說：“這些聲音迴響了雨季暴雨的聲音，這會使人們聽不到學校的課。此外，金屬屋頂在夏季會傳熱，使教室無法使用。”
“與此相反，茅草是當地可用的材料，可以緩解山洪暴發的聲音，並在炎熱的夏季使熱量隔絕。”
Toshiko Mori Architect previously used similar materials – compressed earth, bamboo and thatch – to build a community centre in the nearby village of Sinthian, which was also a collaboration with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and Le Korsa.
The school was built by contractor Magueye Ba, who recently built another school in eastern Senegal from the test facades created for a hospital that is being built in the city of Tambacounda.

森敏俊建築師（Toshiko Mori Architect）以前曾使用類似的材料-壓縮土，竹子和茅草屋頂-在附近的Sinthian村莊建立了社區中心，這也是與Josef and Anni Albers Foundation和Le Korsa的合作。
這所學校是由承包商Magueye Ba建造的，後者最近在塞內加爾東部建造了另一所學校，該建築是為在Tambacounda市建造的一家醫院建造的測試立面建造的。
