London studio Nicholas Hare Architects used a palette of yellow brick, bronzed aluminium and unfinished timber to construct this secondary school in Essex, England.
伦敦工作室Nicholas Hare Architects使用黄色砖、古铜色铝和未抛光的木材，建造了这个位于英格兰艾塞克斯的中等学校。
Located in the small community of Canvey Island, the Cornelius Vermuyden School comprises a collection of new and refurbished buildings that were designed to be respectful of their surrounding residential context.
Cornelius Vermuyden学校位于肯维岛的一个小社区，包含一组全新和翻新的建筑。这些建筑力求尊重周围的居住环境。
“The palette of materials reflects not only the pragmatic requirements of the school for a robust, easily maintained building that will age gracefully, but also for a building that has a grown-up feel and is appropriate to its Canvey context,” said Nicholas Hare Architects‘ partner Paul Baxter. “We specifically avoided using primary colours that would have been inappropriate.”
“这些材料不仅反映了学校的务实需求，即建造一个坚固的、容易维护的建筑，让建筑优雅地老去；也让建筑有一种成熟的感觉，以一种合适的姿态融入肯维岛的居住环境。”Nicholas Hare Architects合伙人Paul Baxter说，“我们特别避免使用原色，那将会是不合适的。”
The building is split into five wings, including an existing gym and hall block that the architects have converted into an art and design facility with double-height workshops.
该建筑被分成5翼，包括一个现存的体育馆和一个大会堂，建筑师把会堂改造成艺术与设计空间，带有两层通高的工作室。
The main entrance to the school is sandwiched between two wings, including a library and computer room with bronze-anodised aluminium walls and a glazed facade that reveals its interior to visitors.
学校的主要入口夹在图书馆与计算机机房两翼之间。计算机机房带有古铜色电镀铝的外墙和一面玻璃幕墙，向游客展示室内环境。
Perforated aluminium panels also cover the walls of some of the brick buildings. “The perforated anodised panels have allowed us to incorporate artwork and signage in the cladding in a subtle and distinctive way,” explained Baxter.
在某些砖建筑的外墙也覆盖着多孔铝面板。“多孔电镀板允许我们把插画和招牌以一种微妙独特的方式结合到墙体表面上。”Baxter解释说。
Beyond the entrance, a two-storey indoor street spans the length of the school to connect each of the departments and provide dining areas, meeting areas and exhibition spaces.
入口远处，一条两层高的室内街道贯穿学校，联系着各个教学单位，并提供餐饮空间、会议空间和展览空间。
“The central street is designed as a two-storey art gallery for the display of the exceptional two and three-dimensional artwork of the students,” Baxter told Dezeen. “It is also anticipated that the gallery could be used on occasion as a public gallery showing external exhibitions, thereby drawing the local community into the school and providing a much needed cultural asset for the island.”
“中央街道被设计成两层高的艺术展廊，用于陈列学生们的优秀的二维和三维艺术作品。”Baxter告诉Dezeen，“还可预见到，展廊将不时作为公共展廊，以展示外界的展品，从而把当地的社区文化引入学校，为肯维岛提供大量的急需的文化财富。”
The sports hall is also located beside the entrance and sits half a metre higher than the other buildings of the school. “Canvey Island has a history of catastrophic flooding, and despite its sea wall the brief required the sports hall to be able to act as refuge in case of flooding across the island,” added Baxter.
体育馆位于学校入口一侧，地基比其它建筑高出一米。“肯维岛有灾难性洪水的历史，所以尽管有了海墙，任务书仍然要求这个体育馆能充当避难所的作用，以防洪水在岛内肆虐。”Baxter补充说。
