苏州科技城实验小学

在追求效率、管控、与安全的国内基础教育模式中，虽然也开始逐渐重视学生成长中的社会性、创造性、与自主性，但是这些新的教育理念在通常条件的学校设计中往往很难在空间上得到切实回应。通常的用地标准、建设指标、与使用模式所导致的还是讲求效率、管控、与安全的空间样式，比如，过于明确的功能分区与固定的使用方式，过于均质的空间分配与单一的流线组织，这样的标准空间特别对于小学生来说更是缺乏启发与想象力的。而在苏州科技城实验小学的设计中，应为特殊的场地条件与任务要求，那些标准的空间模式反而无法实现，这使我们在保证基本的空间规范性之外，有机会去尝试对于孩子们的成长来说更有启发性的那些空间特质。也许改变这个世界面貌的不是我们，而是孩子。他们有着初芽般的、能够穿透石头、穿透钢筋水泥也要破土生长的力量。只有借用他们这股最原初的力量，才能打破快速建造的通属空间带给学生们的过度规训与监护，以空间为媒介，坚守我们对城市对山水田园的最初印象。

Under a highly governed, efficiently calibrated and safely implemented pedagogical system of China, the social and creative aspects in education are rising in their importance. Yet these emergent ideas in recent educational trends are difficult to be exemplified in architectural terms. More often, the land use plan, zoning regulations and programmatic uses are redirecting back to a highly efficient way of designing. For example, a highly distinct segregation of different functions and inflexible configuration which discourages inventive uses are homogenising the spatial arrangement and creating monotony in circulation and flow. This standardised space does not make any room to instigate an inspiring environment for junior grade students to develop their imaginative thinking. In our design for the Suzhou experimental primary school, we have tailored a response to the cope with the distinct site condition and the requirement of the project brief. Ironically, the constraints that we have do not drive us to a conventional standardised design, but instead allow us to develop spaces that profoundly inspire the children throughout times. We have a strong conviction that the future lies in the hand of our younger generations but not us. The power of youth is immensely robust that no physical substance on planet earth could constrain or bound it. For us as architect, we utilise these momenta from the younger generation to resist the status quo and adapt the reality.
