根据当地极端气候和社会传统设计的儿童村

A medina for children designed according to extreme weather conditions and community traditions.

吉布提市坐落在非洲之角，遭遇过持续干旱且资源严重匮乏。

Djibouti is located in the Horn of Africa, which suffers from persistent droughts and severe scarcities.

建筑师经国际紧急救援儿童村组织批准，设计一栋包含15个房子的住宅楼，以此来支持当地家庭复兴计划。

We were approached by SOS Kinderdorf to design a residential compound of 15 houses where to run their family-strengthening programmes.

建筑师充分了解国际紧急救援系统，并对项目所在地进行调查，了解当地居民的游牧传统，以及该地区的极端气候。建筑师在与其相似的文化和环境中探寻其传统的建房材料，最终决定设计一个有特色的北非原始居住区：

A.  为儿童设计的居住区-安全的环境，禁止汽车通行，街道和广场供孩子们玩耍。
B.  有大面积的开阔场地-公共和私人空间划分清晰-在私人，内部和外部区域相接的地方，允许居民进行适当的户外居住。
C.  有大量植被覆盖-鼓励居民照顾他们的植物，并因此受益。

We learnt about SOS systems, about the community where the project would take place, their nomadic traditions and the extreme climate of the region. We searched for traditional housing references in similar cultural and climatic environments and finally decided to design a MEDINA with certain singularities:

A. It is a medina for children – A safe environment, with no cars, where the narrow streets and squares become places to play
B. It is a medina with plenty of open spaces  – Public and private spaces are clearly defined. And in the private, the inside and outside areas melt, allowing residents to maintain certain outdoors living.
C. It is a medina with lots of vegetation – Where the inhabitants are encouraged to take care of their plants and benefit from the result.

就分配而言，所有的房屋有相同的规划，但是以不同方式来开展，彼此靠近，为对方提供遮阴。自由的小路穿行其间。自然通风和遮阳均经过仔细规划，在需要的地方设置自然通风设备。

In terms of distribution, all houses follow the same scheme but are arranged in different ways, placed close to each other giving shade one another and generating alleys between them in an apparent disordered way. Natural ventilation and sun shading was intensely studied, introducing natural ventilation towers where needed.

该项目的顺利实施得益于一个国际化多专业的经验丰富团队。
