建筑面积:180平方米
常梦关爱中心是一个收养了十余名智障儿童和孤儿的慈善机构,旧食堂因漏水成为危房被拆除,在捐助者的筹资帮助下,新食堂得以开始建设。设计将建筑主要空间以长餐桌为核心作为主要的活动场所,孩子们可以在此用餐或学习游戏。西侧面向庭院的柱廊成为一个看向中间院子的过渡空间,兼起遮阳作用。建筑抬起形成可坐的平台,以强调中间院子的围合感。后面的两个小餐室提供了独立活动的区域,而餐室间的小庭院将室外引入建筑内部使室内空间更富有生机。由于预算非常有限,设计必须采用最经济的和易操作的方式来建造:砖墙承重、轻型钢屋架、波纹金属屋面。坡屋顶角度变化是为更好地排雨且不设檐沟;玻璃直接固定于墙体中,省去了隔热的窗框,只对应于视线的要求;而可开启的木窗用于通风的功能,建筑元素因之还原为最单纯和基本的意义。这是一个建筑回到自己、回到起点的尝试。纯粹、安静、诗意是它的本质。
This dining hall for disabled children care center is a charity project with a very limited budget. The building is thus conceived as a very basic device responding to most fundamental elements: rain, wind, light and views. In the main space, a 7.2M long dining table is the daily place for children to eat and play. The veranda space facing west provides a passage linking to dormitory building on north, meanwhile function as a sunshade device. On this side, the building is lifted so as to create a terrace for sitting and looking to the central courtyard. Two small courtyards on east side create an extra spatial layer to the main space. The fixed glass at opening for view and wood window for air is to gain an essential meaning for each element. The changed angle of roof is for better rain draining effect. The economical construction method and material is applied such as brick masonry load bearing wall, lightweight steel truss, and corrugated metal roof. Although built in a very low cost, the building is a fundamental return to the essence of architecture, being silent and poetic.
