面对诸多条件限制，如数量有限的预制构件组装教室、狂风酷热的气候环境，博塔Halte区的这所小学在搭建时经历了一场艰苦的战斗才得以创造出友好的学习环境。多亏 Bosjes Estate的慷慨资助和创新环保的方案要求，设计师终于为学生们提供一个温暖又鼓舞人心的避风港。

Faced with limited prefabricated classrooms, harsh winds and temperatures, Botha’s Halte regional school fought an uphill battle to create a supportive learning environment. However, with generous funding from Bosjes Estate and a brief that demanded innovative environmental initiatives, we were able to design a welcoming and inspiring haven for learners.



Square One景观建筑事务所在南非西开普省伍斯特农业区完成了独出心裁的学校设计方案。

该项目刚落地不久，便被视作能提供户外学习机会的成功校园设计范例，受到广泛赞誉。校园操场让孩子们了解自然环境，帮助孩子们接触大自然和食物生产。

Square One Landscape Architects completed an innovative School project in the agricultural area of Worcester in the Western Cape, South Africa.
In the short time since the project was completed, it has received wide acclaim for being a successful example of a playground that incorporates outdoor learning opportunities for learning about the natural environment & helping children engage with nature & the production of food.



Botha’s Halte小学的设计融合了创新的雨水收集策略和定制游戏项目，旨在让孩子们参与创造性和包容性的趣味游戏。

The design of Botha’s Halte incorporates innovative water harvesting strategies as well as bespoke play items designed to engage children in creative and inclusive play.



Botha’s Halte 学校项目的初衷，是为了将世界一流的教育设施带到这座位于布里德谷葡萄酒产区的缺乏资源的农业社区。学校融合了最新的技术创新和可持续性策略，为学生们创建一处教育基地，将自然环境的学习融入到户外空间的设计中。

The Botha’s Halte School project was established as a means to bring world-class learning and facilities to an under-resourced agricultural community in the Breede Valley winelands. The school incorporates the latest in technological innovation and environmental sustainability initiatives, to create an educational facility for young learners, where learning about the natural environment is integrated within the design of its outdoor spaces.



项目开发的全过程都采用了弹性设计。西开普省是一个缺水地区，其大部分经济以粮食作物生产的农业为基础，因此项目的景观设计必须采用具有前瞻性的弹性策略，并为人们学习了解生物多样性、认识到生态环境的重要性提供机会。

The entire project is developed with environmental resilience in mind. As the Western Cape is a water-scarce region and much of its economy is based on agriculture and the production of food crops, it was important that the design embrace forward-thinking strategies to resilient landscape design and allow opportunities for learning about biodiversity and the importance of the natural environment.



这一策略在户外环境设计环节得以实现，让孩子们与大自然接触，从而使他们从小就建立对自然系统及其运作方式的理解。景观设计师设计了一处绿色屋顶，种植着适应当地条件的本土植物，减少灌溉需求，并有助于孩子们了解当地的生物多样性。

场地的所有雨水都得以收集，并用于灌溉种植区域，其中包含对水敏感的本土物种。

This was achieved by designing the outdoor environment to bring children in contact with nature in order for them to build an understanding from an early age about natural systems and how they function. A green roof planted with indigenous species which are resilient to the local conditions was designed, requiring less irrigation and contributing to the children’s knowledge of local biodiversity.
All on-site rainwater was captured and used for irrigating the landscaped areas of the design which incorporated water-sensitive species indigenous to the region.



作为学校健康和营养计划的一部分，学校设计了可食用花园，让孩子们了解食品生产，同时确保他们能够获得定期、健康和有机种植的膳食。学校的户外游乐空间满足孩子们的娱乐需求。立足于孩子们年龄和能力水平，游乐设施侧重于触觉和自然游戏。假山、沙坑和植物完美结合，创造了一个有利于自然表达和边玩边学的互动环境。

游戏空间配置了各种定制组件，这些组件与学校的建筑相得益彰，最大限度地增加了游戏和探索的机会。游戏项目的专项设计旨在让学生参与各类体育活动，为主动和被动娱乐提供条件。

A food garden was designed for the school as part of the school’s health and nutrition programme, allowing the children to learn about food production whilst ensuring their access to regular, healthy and organically grown meals. An integrated outdoor play environment was created to cater for a range of ages and capability levels, focusing on tactile and natural play. Rockeries, sandpits and natural materials were incorporated to create an interactive environment to allow natural expression and learning through play.
The play environment includes a variety of custom-designed components that complement the architecture of the school while maximizing opportunities for play and exploration. Items were specifically developed to engage pupils in different physical activities and afford opportunities for both active and passive recreation.



绳索秋千特意没有设置座椅，以增加身体力量和协调性，同时也鼓励孩子们更频繁地使用。极地森林可以让学生提高平衡和协调能力，而带有攀爬绳索的攀岩坡可以锻炼孩子们的核心力量。

这个项目的成果，是使儿童能够真正地认知自然、提高社交技能、锻炼身体健康，同时在生产性景观中提升他们的社区参与的设施。

Rope swings were designed without seats to increase physical coordination & strength whilst also encouraging more frequent use by more children. A pole forest allows students to improve balance and coordination, while a play embankment with climbing ropes allows children to improve their core strength.
The outcome of the project was a facility that enables children to learn practically about the environment, improve their social skills and physical health while teaching them about their communities involved in the productive landscape.
