“我们的梦想是有一个空间来表明我们将捍卫我们家庭的利益[并且]我们对他们和我们自己有着飞升的野心，…在一个民主国家，我们相信…共享的空间，而不是私人住宅，应该是我们生活中最美丽的…。当人们进入这里的时候，…有一种安静当你意识到事情应该是这样的时候，你就吸了口气。“

“Our dream was to have a space that showed we would defend our families’ interests [and] had a soaring ambition for them and ourselves… In a democracy, we believe that … shared spaces, not private dwellings should be the most beautiful in our lives… There is a hush when people enter here… an intake of breath when one realizes that this is really how things should be.”

东哈莱姆中学是一所独立的、非营利性的全年中学(4至8年级)，招收东哈莱姆区低收入家庭的学生。学校为所有在册学生提供奖学金。这是几十年来在哈莱姆社区建造的第一所独立学校。这座新的27800平方英尺的建筑于2008年秋季竣工，使学校的规模增加了三倍，以满足社区的紧迫教育需求。学校致力于维持一群亲密的学生，每个学生都被认为是个人和社区的贡献者。

The East Harlem School is an independent, not-for-profit, year-round middle school (grades 4-8) that recruits students from low-income families in East Harlem. The school provides scholarships for all enrolled students. It is the first independent school to have been built in the Harlem community in decades. The new 27,800 square foot building, completed in the Fall of 2008, allowed the school to triple in size to meet the urgent educational needs of the neighborhood. The school is committed to maintaining an intimate cohort of students, in which each is recognized as an individual and as a contributor to the community.

这种双重目的在建筑物的设计中得到了体现。较低的楼层，由一个正式的公共楼梯从街道上可见，包括公共空间：一个大型自助餐厅，体育馆和入口大厅。这些地板用半透明的酸蚀玻璃覆盖，通过玻璃可以看到学生和教师的日常活动。上层是教室和其他学术空间，由不同颜色和反射度的窗户和面板组成。这种类似结构的屏幕标志着在这些空间中学习、学习和纪律的严肃工作所需要的隐蔽隔离。作为像素化外观的一部分，窗口开口是与室内规划相关的，而不是强加任何正式的外部逻辑。走廊也被设想为非正式的房间，以便在教室外临时的师生时刻发生。通过为流通空间的多种用途进行编程，它使走廊非制度化，并给出了一种场所感。

This dual purpose is echoed in the design of the building. The lower floors, which are linked by a formal public stair visible from the street, contain public spaces: a large cafeteria, gymnasium and entrance lobby. These floors are sheathed in translucent, acid-etched glass through which the daily activities of students and teachers are visible from the street. The upper floors contain classrooms and other academic spaces, which are veiled by a composition of windows and panels of varying colors and degrees of reflectivity. This fabric-like screen marks the sheltered isolation needed for the serious work of learning, study, and discipline that goes on in those spaces. As part of the pixelated façade, window openings are placed in relation to interior planning rather than imposing any formal exterior logic. Corridors were also conceived as informal rooms, to allow casual teacher-student moments to occur outside the classrooms. By programming in multi-use purposes for circulation spaces, it de-institutionalizes the hallways and gives a sense of place.

考虑到学校的未来，我们努力在整个建筑中保持一定的灵活性。随着教学方法的发展，这些房间可以重新配置，以适应学校不断变化的需求。大跨度结构设计采用深横向梁，允许所有的教室墙壁都是非结构隔墙.机械导管和设备集中在走廊天花板上，这也为从走廊到正面、正面和背面的空间配置提供了灵活性。

Considering the school’s future, we worked to maintain a level of flexibility throughout the building. The rooms are able to be reconfigured to accommodate the changing needs of the school as its pedagogy evolves. The long-span structure design with deep lateral beams, allows all the classroom walls to be non-structural partitions. The concentration of the mechanical ductwork and equipment in the corridor ceilings also provides flexibility in configuring the space from the corridor out to the façade, front and back.

这所学校的预算非常紧张，这一方面是因为困扰着市中心学校的建设成本过高，另一方面是因为该项目在建设高峰期的时间，以及该项目的选址在长达100年的洪泛区内。基础需要复杂的摩擦桩来锚固建筑物，以防止其漂浮，并完成底层的防水工作。相反，地窖的楼板被抬高到了地下水位的上方，使得一楼比人行道高出3英尺。这一升高的一楼需要街道上的坡道，以符合受管制的无障碍要求，但它也为学生到达学校开辟了一条道路，使学校校长可以从办公室的座位上监视早晨的游行队伍。

The school had an extremely tight budget caused both by the high cost of construction that plagues inner-city schools, the project’s timing at the height of the building boom and the fact that its site was within the 100-year flood zone. The foundations required complicated friction piles to anchor the building to keep it from floating, and complete waterproofing of the lower floors. Instead, the cellar slab was raised to be just above the water table, making the first floor 3 feet above the sidewalk. This raised first floor required a ramp from the street to comply with regulated accessibility requirements, but it also created a path for the students’ arrival to school, allowing the Head of School to monitor the morning procession from his office perch.

我们的办公室在建筑师领导的设计构建(ALDB)过程中兼任建筑师和施工经理，为项目的每一个阶段提供了严格的质量控制和大量的成本节约。这种双重角色使我们能够充分参与施工过程，并让制造商和分包商参与设计的发展。通过与他们的具体专业领域相关的实际参与者的参与，我们能够创造性地与供应商合作。在一个例子中，我们与一个更衣柜制造商在产品设计上的合作导致了一个新的，定制的储物柜设计的标准价格。简化建筑和采购程序使最终费用大大低于保证的最高价格，使质量升级到更坚固和更耐用的完工，并节省了50多万美元作为学校捐赠的种子。

Our office acted as both architect and construction manager in an Architect Led Design Build (ALDB) process, providing a level of intensive quality control and substantial cost savingsat every stage of the project. This dual role allowed us to fully participate in the construction process and involve the manufacturers and sub-contractors in the development of the design. By engaging the actual players in relation to their specific area of expertise, we were able to creatively partner with vendors. In one example, our partnership in product design with a locker manufacturer resulted in the production of a new, custom locker design at the standard price. Streamlining the construction and procurement process resulted in final costs significantly lower than the Guaranteed Maximum Price, allowing for quality upgrades to stronger and more durable finishes and over half a million dollars in savings returned to seed the school’s endowment.
