在纽约建筑工作室中，Toshiko Mori是哈佛设计研究生院的教授，她曾在那里担任主席。

Josef and Anni Albers Foundation公司的一个朋友提供给她的学生一个项目，该项目是在塞内加尔的一个混合性建筑。几年后，Jordan MacTavish设计的其中一个项目被命名为Thread，建筑看上去就像是一条长长的曲线，这是一个社区中心和艺术家在Sinthian的住所。该项目在2015年3月完工，Toshiko Mori事务所给我们的项目提供了一些文字和照片。

On top of running her eponymous New York architecture studio, Toshiko Mori is a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where she formerly served as chair. Following a conversation with a friend at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation she gave her GSD students a project for a mixed-use building in Senegal. A few years later one of those projects, by Jordan MacTavish, became Thread, a community center and artists' residency in Sinthian. Toshiko Mori Architects sent us some text and photos on the project that was completed in March 2015.

该项目位于塞内加尔一个偏远的社区Sinthian，靠近马里的边界。项目提供给社区多个功能，包括收集空间、演艺中心和来访的艺术家居住地。Josef and Anni Albers Foundation公司和American Friends of Le Korsa联手合作建成该文化中心，弥补现有的诊所、幼儿园、学校和农业学校的不足。它的建立也意味着保证社区的稳定性，将这个由12个不同部落组成的社区联合在一起，他们在一起分享音乐、艺术，一起表演节目。

Situated in the remote community of Sinthian, Senegal, near the fragile border of Mali, this project offers multiple programs for the community, including gathering space, performance center, and residency for visiting artists. A collaboration with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and American Friends of Le Korsa, the cultural facility is intended to complement the existing clinics, kindergarten, and farming school on site. It is also meant to ensure stability and provide a common ground within a community consisting of twelve different tribes. The shared music, art, and performance programs are a testament to the resiliency of the region.

在设计过程中，传统沥青屋顶的变换是通过一个倒置模式来实现的，包括一系列的庭院建筑，同时在庭院周围创建遮蓬工作室。倒置模式的屋顶助于雨水的有效收集和存储。该项目总占地面积11285平方英尺，能满足社区大量农业用水需求。

In the design, a parametric transformation of the traditional pitched roof is achieved through a process of inversion, inscribing a series of courtyards within the plan of the building and simultaneously creating shaded studio areas around the perimeter of the courtyard. The inversion of the roof also creates an effective strategy for the collection and storage of rainwater in cisterns. With a total footprint of 11,285 square feet, the project is capable of fulfilling substantial domestic and agricultural water needs for the community.

该建筑凭借当地的材料和建筑技术，其传统结构主要是由巨大的竹子和压缩的土块构成。当地气候条件特征影响着建筑形式和工作室的朝向以及遮盖的画廊区域。该建筑还提供室外的遮阳功能，并考虑到通风的风向。通过钢筋和间隔的砖墙来调整气候舒适度，吸收热量并允许气流流向室内。该项目管理工作将由当地村民来安排。在这平坦的灌木土地上，伫立着一个标志性的、形状标新立异的建筑，这真是一大奇观啊！

Relying exclusively on local materials and construction techniques, the building’s traditional structure is formed primarily of large bamboo members and compressed earth blocks. Climatic considerations figure prominently into the building’s form and specify the orientation of the studios and covered gallery areas. The building also offers ample shading of outdoor areas and considers wind orientation for ventilation. Climatic comfort is reinforced through multiple overhangs and spaced-brick walls that absorb heat and allow for airflow through the building interior. In addition to local material, project management will be undertaken by local villagers. The project offers an iconic shape in a landscape that is a vast, flat bush land.
