堪萨斯大学建筑系学生设计并建造了一所两居室公寓，他们打算将这些低成本的公寓提供给低收入的人群。

Students at Kansas State University have designed and constructed a two-unit apartment building that is intended to be occupied by low-income tenants.

这座建筑位于堪萨斯城（密苏里州西部的城市）的一个历史街区，密苏里州的建筑类型主要为独栋平房和农舍，在这样一个租金逐渐上涨的地区，类似的建筑并不多见，因此该设计极具价值。

这座建筑由一对公寓组成，它由堪萨斯州立大学建筑专业五年级的学生设计并建造，这些学生与Design+Make建筑事务所合作，该建筑事务所由学校和当地El Dorado公司联合创建。

The Waldo Duplex is located in a diverse and historic district in Kansas City, Missouri that is dominated by single-family bungalows and shotgun homes. Architectural experimentation is "rare but celebrated" in the area, which has been experiencing rising rents.
The dwelling, which contains a pair of apartments, was designed and built by a group of fifth-year students in the architecture program at Kansas State University. The students are part of Design+Make Studio, a collaboration between the university and the local firm El Dorado.

设计团队说：“现在，房地产开发商已经将这种公寓进行商业化推广，他们建造出平等的社区环境，该公寓具备复式住宅的固有优点，它通过实用的创造性和材料的约束性，重新定义了这类建筑的类型。”

"Today, developers have commodified the duplex, creating suburban neighbourhoods with no distinctive identity whatsoever," the team said. "The Waldo Duplex looks to the inherent benefits of duplex construction, but works to redefine the building typology through a wholehearted embrace of pragmatic constructive and material constraints."

这套住宅的居住者将是两个低收入的家庭，他们的收入低于城市平均收入的80%。

该团队说：“这种类型的建筑可以满足城市低收入人群与无经济适用住房的社区的住房需求，这对于他们来说是一个大福利。”

The duplex is intended to be occupied by two low-income families that earn less than 80 per cent of the city's average income.
"This building type was conceived as a more compassionate way to meet housing needs in lower-income municipalities and neighbourhoods without the density that is typical in affordable housing," the team said.

这座建筑与周围的环境很融洽地结合在一起，在平缓的草地上，线性排列的住宅建于混凝土地基上，其外墙由波纹金属板包裹而成，还具有独具特色的双坡屋顶。

The building is designed to embrace the surrounding context. Built on a gently sloping site, the rectilinear dwelling sits atop a concrete base. Exterior walls, along with the pitched roof, are clad in corrugated metal.

临街的门廊微微抬高，由悬臂梁和木条制成，一座室外台阶引导居住者从室外进入门廊。落地玻璃大窗为屋内提供了良好采光，也增进了邻里之间的沟通与交流。

每个公寓有两间卧室和一个开放的区域，用于做饭、就餐和起居，总计725平方英尺（约67平方米）。屋内通过自然光和照明灯具共同采光。

On the street-facing elevation, stairs lead up to front porches, which are enclosed within wooden slats and slightly cantilever over the site. Walls of glass bring in natural light and provide a strong connection to the neighbourhood.
Each unit totals 725 square feet (67 square metres). The apartments have two bedrooms and an open-plan area zone for cooking, dining, and living. The rooms are illuminated through a careful balance of natural and artificial light.

通过“借光”这一概念，屋内的各个空间彼此渗透，厨房、卫浴空间、卧室入口甚至卧室上面的天窗都成为了相邻空间的“光源”。

"Through the concept of 'borrowed light,' the spaces are in a constant dialogue with each other," the team said. "The kitchen, bathroom vanity nook, bedroom entry and even the clerestory above the bedrooms act as the luminaire for the adjacent spaces."

尽管这个项目预算有限，为290000美元（215000英镑），但是设计团队仍然高质量地完成内部的定制橱柜和细部装饰，该项目的建造价格为每平方英尺200美元（148英镑），比同类项目要低很多。

“人们对经济适用房的观念是价格与质量之间的平等性。我们在施工过程中进行了严格的要求，并且坚定不移地相信，在经济适用房项目中仍然能够完成卓越的设计构思。”

Despite a limited budget of $290,000 (￡215,000), the team was able to incorporate high-quality finishes and custom cabinetry. The project was built for $200 (￡148) per square foot, which is less than comparable projects.
"Typical affordable housing only advances perceptions of inequality rather than fight them," the team said. "The project is the result of a rigorous investigation of the construction process, and an unwavering belief that design excellence is possible within affordable housing."

其他美国学生设计的建筑项目还有耶鲁团队为流浪者建造的预制住宅，以及804建筑事务所用废弃材料设计建造的堪萨斯之家。
