终于迎来了新学期开学的第一天，推开比尔里卡纪念高中的校门，人们自豪、激动的情感在大堂里蔓延开来——属于人们生活着的这座城镇的气质，竟被转译成了一种有形的表达。
When the doors of Billerica Memorial High School opened on the first day of the new school year, a sense of pride permeated the halls—a palpable sense of gratitude for this physical expression of the town’s contemporary identity.

通过一座建筑来改善整个社区观念的情况是充满了挑战的，然而这也正是我们设计比尔里卡纪念高中新教学楼时面临的机会。近年来，悄然转型的比尔里卡纪念高中在商业、机器人、戏剧和体育教育方面有着出色的表现——我们抓住了机遇，设计了一个与学校获得的无数成就相匹配、灵活且具有前瞻性的教育空间。我们与学生，教职员工以及社区居民合作，确保这座小镇中最大的公共建筑既能体现对教育的雄心壮志又能尊重当地的历史文化。这是被我们称为“在展望中反思”的设计概念——尊重过去，面向未来——这一理念贯穿了整座建筑、细节和品牌形象的设计。学校向人们展示了纯粹的设计如何引发深度的思考，以及我们如何，一起，被改变。
It’s rare that a single building has the power to shift the perception of an entire community—but that was exactly our opportunity in designing the new BMHS. Billerica had quietly reinvented itself in recent years, excelling in business, robotics, drama, and athletics, so we seized the chance to design a flexible, forward-looking educational environment that matched their myriad achievements. We partnered with students, staff, and community members to ensure that the town’s largest civic building embodied its aspirational commitment to education while respecting its historic civic legacy. It’s a concept we’ve called reflection with direction—honoring the past, aiming for the future—and it’s woven throughout the fabric of the new building’s architecture, detailing, and branding. The school demonstrates how simplicity gives rise to depth, and how we, collectively, can be re-made.

校园周围的新古典主义建筑与19世纪后期的工业文脉启发了我们——设计方案用一种谦逊而尊重的材料语言将不同的元素连接起来。
The school’s neoclassical civic neighbors and late-1800s industrial context informed a design that connects distinct elements to speak a humble material language.

简单而真实的材料组成了这座充满创造性的建筑。这种设计语言代表着 “创客”课堂的使命，而它正是学校教学指导意见的一部分。建筑南面凹凸的红砖外立面，如同日晷一般静静地展示着时间的变幻，记录着太阳的动向。细长的砖砌立面极具韵律，墙体中不同尺度和功能的开窗则展现了递进感，墙面因此变得生动起来。

Simple, honest materials are synthesized in inventive, three-dimensional compositions. This language stands as a metaphor for the mission of the “maker” classroom, a part of the school’s guiding curriculum. Corbeled brick on the south facade takes measure of the day’s light, amplifying shadows and quietly functioning as a masonry sun dial, tracking the path of the sun. The building’s elongated brick façade is organized by a repetitive frame expression. Brick is used within this frame as a wall material containing windows of varying dimension and function by stepping, corbelling, and coursing to animate the façade.

通过关注碳排放，木材的使用有了新的意义；建筑中使用的经FSC认证的云杉所产生的碳吸收，能够抵消一辆普通校车行驶740,298公里产生的碳排放量。
Timber takes new meaning through carbon-conscious detailing; The embodied carbon in the FSC Certified spruce timber structure offsets the equivalent of a typical school bus traveling over 460,000 miles.

比尔里卡全新的品牌与视觉形象以“在展望中反思：尊重过去，面向未来”为主题。基于比尔里卡小镇谦逊而自豪的文化特点，我们全套的标识、色彩、字体以及平面设计，能使小镇能够自信地在任何环境中表达自我。
Billerica’s new brand and visual identity are marked by “Reflection with Direction: Honoring the Past, Aiming for the Future.” Founded on the town’s culture of humble pride, our design of the full suite of logos, colors, fonts, and graphics empowers the town to confidently represent itself in any setting.

教学楼侧翼支持开展以学科为中心的教学模式，也鼓励在未来向跨学科教学模式转变。通过在开放灵活的空间内设置实验室和通用教室，促进不同学科的教师们能够在项目课题中带领学生们展开合作。

Classroom wings support department-based teaching now, but also encourage transition to interdisciplinary modalities in the future. By collocating labs and universal classrooms around open flexible spaces, instructors in different departments are empowered to collaborate in small project-focused “town centers.”

看似平常却又充满诗意的是，整个室内空间利用自然光呈现了时间的节奏，随时间推移，建筑内光影也随之变化。富有创意的综合日照方案解决了公共区域对声学、安全性和灵活性的需求。南面天窗阳光倾泻而下，同时隐藏了一个精巧的集成化排气系统，能在紧急情况下消除烟雾；同时还降低了多层空间中产生的环境噪音。

Inhabiting the prosaic and poetic, the entire interior uses daylight to capture the rhythms of academic time as the sun pushes shadow through the building. Acoustic, life safety and flexibility in the student commons necessitated a creatively integrated daylighting solution. South facing skylight monitors pour light downwards, concealing a carefully integrated exhaust system that removes smoke in an emergency. All achieved while acoustically dampening ambient noise from the multi-story space below.
