成都蒙彼利埃小学,是成都市与友城法国蒙彼利埃市为深化双方的国际交流合作而达成意向,在成都高新区兴建的一所公立小学,是中法建交50周年深厚情谊的体现。

Chengdu Montpellier Primary School, a public primary school built in Chengdu High-tech Zone in 2012, was established by Chengdu city and its sister city Montpellier in order to deepen international exchanges and cooperation. It is the embodiment of the profound friendship between China and France in the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties.

伴随成都高新区的快速发展,原校舍已不能满足片区的就学需求,新扩建的校舍建筑面积约33000平米,共扩增36个班级,与原校舍形成共计72班,可容纳约3200余同学的崭新校园。

In 2018-2020, since the original campus was unable to hold the expanded needs, the campus got an extension of 33000 m2. 36 new classrooms were built, adding up to 72 in total. The capacity of new campus reaches to about 3200 students.

扩建用地紧邻成都环城绿带,北侧锦城湖面波光摇曳。总图布局结合功能分区与城市界面的景观考量,将文化艺术功能单体布置于用地北侧,自然错动,融入公园界面并留出湖景内渗的视觉通道。

The land for expansion is close to the green belt around Chengdu city, and the Jincheng Lake is swaying in the north. Considering function partition and urban interface, we arrange three buildings for art and sports laid at the north side of the site, merging into the park and allow the greenery landscape extending into the campus.

竖向设计利用北高南低的4m高差,分台处理,创造出校园中部的坡地景观——将机动车库隐藏于草坡之下,并创造出自然多变的空间体验,这种浅丘起伏的空间体验成为平坦的成都中为数不多的特色体验,为校园生活带来空间的乐趣。

By carefully studying the topography, we use a gentle slope to digest the height difference, creating several platforms for various activities, with car parking hidden under it. The naturally undulating landform creates a unique experience, which introduces a special character to school life in this plain city.

区别于常规校园,我们用可自由奔跑的花园代替了传统操场,校园因此获得了开敞的中心花园。这个中心花园叠合地形处理所带来的台阶与坡道、架空层与风雨连廊,创造出了全天候的活动空间,鼓励同学们在不同程度的围合与开放之中,亲近自然、发现探索。

In distinct with regular campus, we use free-running tracks rather than the conventional playground, providing an open garden area in the center of the campus. In this central garden, the natural topographical feature gives steps, slopes, elevated floor and corridors, creating the space for all-day activities. Therefore, pupils are encouraged to get close to and discover the nature in this bounded but open area.

校舍围绕中心花园线型展开。功能布局一改传统校园按功能分设楼栋的模式,而选择在多个层面进行功能的融合。教学区布置以“教师办公+三个教室”为一“班级组”模块单元,教师办公室就近贴邻班级教室,教师可临近办公,同时具有极佳的景观内庭视野。

校园的几何中心,布置艺术综合楼,将行政办公、美术、音乐教室垂直叠合,在校园动线汇聚的中心,让艺术氛围浸润日常的校园生活。

New buildings lies around central garden. The functional layout changes from the traditional mode of dividing the campus into buildings according to functions, and chooses to integrate functions at multiple levels . A Three-classroom unit has been created, with a faculty office laying next to it, which reduces the distance between faculty and students.

The multi-use-building is located in the geometrical center of the campus, vertically combines the administration office, Art studio and music studio. The geometry center of the campus naturally gather the students, which greatly helps the artistic atmosphere infiltrate the campus life.

为支撑蒙彼利埃学校“主题式教学”的现代教育理念,我们选择创新型的正六边形单元教室。相比矩形教室,其在课桌椅向两侧扩展布置的同时,缩短了最大视距;且平面更接近圆形,利于应对不同学习场景的家具灵活布置。六边形教室设置双向外廊(朝外一侧为阳台),在走廊侧创造出了曲折多变的空间界面,在阳台侧获得最大的采光与观景界面,呈现独特的形态表情。

We introduced “hexagon shape classroom” as our response to the “theme based education mode” which the school hold. Comparing to rectangular classroom, the hexagon shape classroom allow desks to be laid at both side of the classroom which reduces the visual distance for students. As the hexagon shape is close to a circle, it reduces the restrictions on the layout of the classrooms and allowing more potentials for different furniture arrangement for various theme. The hexagon shape classrooms are connected by two corridors, with balcony corridor looking towards the middle school and lake, and the inner side towards central garden. The polygon outline introduce most daylight into the classroom, leads to a unique expression of facade.

我们将三个教室作为一个班级组,匹配教室间及走廊侧的推拉活动隔断,实现弹性可变的单元与组团布局,高效应答蒙彼利埃小学多样变化的主题式教学需求。在成都较长的过渡季中,每个学期可有一个月的时间采用全开敞布局。

We treat three classrooms as a unit, which are separated by flexible sliding panel. This partition panels allow the group to be adopted with different education theme. Moreover, considering the unique climate character in Chengdu, the panels can be fully removed in transition seasons, which allows the classrooms extending to corridor.

顶层六边形教室更设置有向中心升高的六边天窗,获得优越的自然采光,减弱常规矩形教室拉窗帘开日光灯的使用需求,利于小学生的视觉健康。

On top floor, the classrooms are equipped with raising hexagonal skylight, not only reducing the energy consumption but also beneficial to visual health.

校园北侧由西向东设置三个独立的功能体量:体育馆(含游泳馆)、图书馆以及音乐(多功能)厅,以满足学校的课程发展需求。三个单体的室内设计选择不同的色彩与主题,创造出独一无二的空间感受。

From west to east, sports centre, library and multi-purpose hall are laid respectively at north side of campus. We chose three different theme colour for interior, which helps to create unique atmosphere inside:

图书馆“大树林荫”:图书馆的设计灵感源自北侧锦城湖畔的连绵绿意,我们将绿意引入室内吊顶,营造“大树下阅读”的独特场景,室内吊顶由三种深浅的绿色自然叠合,天窗中洒落的阳光仿若穿透婆娑的树叶,投下斑驳的树影。

Library——‘Green Shading’: The concept origins from the continuous green on north of the campus. By alternately hanging different green colors on the ceiling,we create the experience of ‘reading underneath woods’——metaphoric daylight shining through leafs.

音乐厅“温暖琥珀”:在冬季的成都,当你从灰蒙蒙的室外步入这个音乐厅(多功能厅)自然流动的开台和边界、蜂蜜般温暖的橙色,会让人感受到它温暖的怀抱;彷佛在提琴的共鸣箱内,又让人想起窗外流淌的锦城湖面——我们用非正式的坐席、自然的采光和通风、契合快闪话剧的多层看台,赋予这琥珀般厅堂更多的使用可能性。

Concert Hall ——‘Warm Amber’: when you step into this hall in cold and humidity winter of Chengdu, you will find yourself in a warm amber world. The curved seats, the large opening window and the jumping orange colour, which all provide warm and gentle feelings. It feels like walking into the resonance box of timber instruments,and also reminds you of the flowing water outside the window. We use freecurved seats, naturally lighting windows, and 2 inner balconies,giving more possibilities for multi-purpose events.

游泳馆“蔚蓝大海”:游泳馆的主题源于地中海的天空与海水,它是柔和的、活力的、摇曳着的、海天一体的蓝色。天窗将光线引入,照在蓝色的泳池中;大大小小的侧窗中夏日的热烈与内部的清凉形成有趣对比;空间的白色界面晕染上一层淡淡的水蓝,泳池中鲜活的个体成为空间的主角。

Swimming Pool ——‘Ocean Blue’: The theme of swimming pool is derived from the sky and water of Mediterranean Sea. It is a soft, vibrant, and flickering blue of sky and ocean. The skylights bring in light and shines to swimming pool; In the summer, different side windows create an interesting contrast with the coolness of the interior and the hotness of the exterior; the white interface of the space is smudged with a layer of light water blue, and the children in the swimming pool become the protagonist of the space.

我们希望一改常规学校过于关注各类空间独立性的弊病,而更注重开放和相互融合,使其在空间设计上凸显独有的气质。起伏多变的地形、不规则的建筑边界、转折游走的连廊……叠合不同透明度的围护界面(彩釉玻璃与穿孔铝板),提供有趣多变的视线穿越与空间体验,鼓励同学们用身体去探索和发现,激发更多的行为创造力。

Instead of focusing on independence of different functional spaces, we pay more attention to the bonding between different spaces , so that it highlights the unique temperament in space design. The naturally sloped landscape, the curved building boundaries, and the connecting corridors, and the various-transparency materials(glazed glass and penetrating aluminum panels) provide more diversity for spacial experience, both visually and spatially. It encourages students to discover the campus, arousing them to explore the interesting of space.

我们用抽象而节制的屋面设计,应答上位规划对本片区空间廊道对中式坡顶的风貌要求。建筑在坡屋顶下,搭配木白二色,简洁大方,传递含蓄的书香韵味;

The abstract and controlled roof design is used to respond to the style requirements, that the upper planning requests the space corridor of this area is pitched roof in traditional Chinese style.Under the roof, wood and white are used as main facade colour, which conveying the implicit scholarly charm.

不同层级、不同开放程度的庭院,以及连桥与架空,通过蜿蜒曲折的连廊串联形成整体,创造出丰富多变的空间体验;多个楼层檐廊的水平阴翳下,亦可四向远眺,独具东方审美。我们希望用一种现代、含蓄的方式将中式空间的审美意趣浸润入校园的日常生活,融入同学们的空间认知与场地记忆。

Courtyards with different scale are connected by the corridor, which forms various spacial experience. People looking out under horizontal eaves of grey space, in praising of shadow, is a typical image of eastern aesthetic. We hope to spread Chinese aesthetic through students’ daily life and integrate them into their grow memories.

小学教学楼内侧立面由绿至黄的色彩,源于香根鸢尾(蒙彼利埃市花)的幼苗——深绿-浅绿-鹅黄,仿如幼苗破土而出的色彩;它为整体简洁黑白的建筑赋予了独特的活跃气息;也使小学的青春活力在城市界面上大方呈现,成为蒙彼利埃小学独一无二的主题特征。

The theme colour of facade can be traced back to the city flower of Montpellier——iris. The colour of the inner layer facade of the building, varies from green to light yellow, which resembles the scene of the seedlings breaking through the soil. These colours bring different atmosphere to the monochrome facades, presenting a youthful vitality of the primary school, becoming a unique character of Montpellier primary school.

中小学接送的瞬时性拥堵,是校园规划中常见的问题。在新校园的设计中,我们利用中小学之间的尽端城市道路,在近期可提供近百机动车停放车位。

Traffic congestions caused by pick-up and drop-off of students is a typical problem for school design. In our design, we use the dead-end road between middle and primary school for temporary car parking, which provides a capacity around 100 cars.

在校园南侧,则后退红线十余米修建围墙,辟出宽广的林荫景观与下沉休息区,作为家长接送的等候场地,缓解接送高峰的交通拥堵。家长在等候时,亦可通过南侧透明的围墙与架空的底层,观看校园内部的活动景象。

At the south side of campus, we step 10 meters back from the red line, which is nearly twice of the regulation requirements. This extra area is used for parents waiting within landscape and sunken rest area. It helps to reduce the direct traffic impact. Moreover, parents can see through the transparent glass and elevated ground floor, watching the activities in school.

大面积的玻璃围墙取代了传统实墙,这种视觉的通透,表达与传递着现代教育开放与共享的理念——校园空间不再是封闭的传输知识的场所,而有可能与社区和城市发生更多的互动。

做为高大的室内空间,校园的文化场馆往往也是社区中宝贵的文化硬件。规划之初,结合北侧锦城湖开放空间的人群活力,我们将小学的文艺体育场馆布置于校园北侧——自公园湖面远望,三个“取景框”成为公园的特色背景;夜间,内部多彩的景象则装点着锦城湖畔的绿地。三个功能单体可通过校园次入口进入,具备对社区开放共享的可能,契合蒙彼利埃学校“家校社企”的共建共创共享发展理念。

Transparent edges are used instead of traditional solid walls. This visual transparency conveys the open and shared concept of modern education. Therefore, the campus appears no longer a closed place to transfer knowledge, but a place to active interaction with urban community.

As a type of tall interior space, campus cultural venues are valuable cultural infrastructure for community. At the beginning of planning, the cultural and sports venues of school are distributed on north side of the campus, combining with the vitality of the crowd in the northern open space of Jincheng Lake. While people looking out from the lake, three “view frames” become main characteristic of park background. During night, the colorful interior scenes also decorates the green space of Jincheng Lake. Also, the three functional massing can be accessed through the secondary entrance, with the possibility of sharing with the community, responsing the concept of Co-Construction, Co-Creation and Shared Development in between “home-school- community-enterprise” of Montpellier School.

成都蒙彼利埃学校的理念是“为每个孩子最大可能的发展负责”。校园的设计过程让我们回想起自己的孩童时光,我们希望用这座多彩缤纷的湖畔花园,祝福孩子们从此出发的人生之路。

The philosophy of Chengdu Montpellier school is “to be responsible for the maximum possible development of each child”. The design process of the campus reminds us of our own childhood.We hope to bless the children with this colorful lakeside garden as they embark on their life journey.
