该项目位于哥斯达黎加的一处偏僻场地，四周种满了丝瓜和木瓜等植物，距离La Fortuna de San Carlos的热带雨林仅有15公里的距离。这所学校90%的学生都是来自贫困线以下的移民家庭和单亲家庭。对于大多数学生而言，学校能够为他们带来一个安全的环境，并且每天能保证一顿餐食——这也是阻止他们辍学的一个原因。

The school is located in Sector Angeles, a remote citadel surrounded by yucca and papaya plantations, at only 15 kilometers from the tropical forest of La Fortuna de San Carlos. It’s student population is 90% formed by children of migrant families who live below the poverty level and in a situation of social vulnerability. For most students, the school provides a safe environment and the only complete meal of the day, one of the main reasons that prevents them from dropping out of school, while their parents’s economy, mostly single women, depends on agricultural activities, which are the main source of their livelihoods.

建筑团队对传统公立学校的运行体制进行了反思，希望在单调的绿色景观中营造出一个丰富多彩的视觉环境，使学生、学校领导、员工和家长都能够与校园建立一种积极的情感连接，从而培养大家的自豪感和归属感。

Norte Sur Arquitectos rethinks the traditional school’s institutional presence as the primary visual and cultural image of the traditional public education to create a colorful landmark that disrupts the monotony of the deep green landscape, to allow the students, school leadership, staff, and parents to develop a fresh and positive image of their physical space and an emotional connection to foster a sense of pride and ownership.

为了能够在炎热潮湿的热带地区（雨季每年会持续9个月）提供一个舒适的学习环境，建筑师采用了被动式的设计，并使用低维护成本的预制结构和材料进行建造。当然，这也是考虑到学校并没有足够的空间去存放施工所需要的材料和部件。

To provide with a comfortable learning environment in a hot and humid tropical region, where the rainy season lasts 9 months a year, the school is a passive bioclimatic structure that allows the building to breath, composed by low maintenance prefabricated systems and low cost materials that come together for construction economy and due to the lack of space to store materials during the construction process.

所有的功能空间都被包含在一个三层的体量当中，狭长的地形得到了充分的利用。对角线形的木制框架为整个建筑赋予了温暖和活泼的气息，并协调了不同楼层之间的高度和尺度差异。建筑中还包含了一间门厅，这里包含了主要的交通空间，从高处可以直接俯瞰到下方的走廊。门厅还可以作为多功能空间为学生们提供集会和活动场所，或在雨天作为操场使用。

The entire program is solved in one pavilion with three levels that takes advantage of the preexistent topography of the narrow plot. A wooden skeleton adds warmth and a playful diagonal rhythm across the building, to unify and alternate the different heights and scales between one level and the other. It also contains a gallery where the main circulation areas look down to the lower level corridor, which also serves as a polyvalent space for community meetings, school’s gathering events and playground for the children during the rainy days.

教室和餐厅的布局将北面的漫射光引入室内。半透明、可呼吸的建筑外墙由木制的框架提供支撑，不仅可以过滤来自南面的直射光，还可以促进交叉通风并为室内带来周边的葱郁景观。

All the classrooms and the cafeteria windows are oriented to capture the diffuse light of the north along the day. A translucent breathing envelope supported by the wooden frames softens and filters the direct sunlight from the south, allowing for crossed ventilation and to gaze at the views towards the green surrounding landscape.
