斐济 Naidi社区大厅

该项目位于斐济Vanua Levu的Naidi村庄，原先的社区大厅因年久失修而停止使用以来，Naidi村庄已经有7年未曾修建新的大厅。考虑到这一问题，当地的一家非政府组织Naqaqa与事务所CAUKIN Studio取得了联系，希望为村庄建造一座新的社区大厅，从而为400多位居民和75户家庭提供聚会、庆祝和活动场地。按照斐济的传统，社区大厅代表着一个村落的文化和管理中心。

Naidi village, located on Vanua Levu in Fiji, had been without a community hall for 7 years, when their previous community hall fell into disrepair and was deemed unsafe for use. In the wake of this, the project came to fruition when a local NGO, the Naqaqa Giving Foundation approached CAUKIN Studio. Serving a village of 400 people and 75 households, the hall’s main function was to provide a space for the community to come together for meetings, celebrations, funerals and weddings. In Fijian culture, the community hall is the cultural and operational heart of a village.

在社区的共同影响下，设计团队很快地意识到该项目需要构建的核心空间：一个能够供人们唱歌、制作手工艺品以及表演斐济传统Meke节目的场所。设计团队相信，一个安全、实用、美观且能够鼓励创造性表达的空间对于个人和社区的发展而言均有着十分重要的意义。

With the collaborative influence of the community, it quickly became clear that the building must provide a space to sing, create local handmade crafts and perform their famous ‘Meke’ - a traditional Fijian dance. CAUKIN Studio believes that having a safe, functioning and beautiful space to express oneself creatively is vital to personal and community growth.

设计采用了剧院舞台的形式，使空间的宽度朝着主立面的方向逐渐扩大并伸向村庄广场的中心。入口立面安装了三扇上挂式枢轴门，将人们引向用于表演米克舞的舞台。增高的天花板为建筑物引入了更多的自然气流，并通过屋檐下方的木制栅格释出空气，从而能够在炎热的天气里保持室内的凉爽。通风的遮阳板、百叶窗和大尺寸玻璃窗共同营造出一个充满自然光的空间，为舞蹈表演和各类活动提供了理想的场地。建筑结构体现了创新性的设计和抗风性能，并且只使用了产自当地的材料，可以在斐济的其他社区进行复制和应用。该建筑的结构设计由Centrespace Design担任，该事务所在过去的4年中对CAUKIN提供了大量支持。

The design takes its form from theatre staging, crescendoing at its front facade, facing towards the centre of the village green. Three large counter-weighted, top hung doors, open to create a stage playing host to performances of the village ‘Meke’. Through the extended ceiling height, a natural flow of air throughout the building is increased, being released through hit-and-miss timber cladding under the roof eaves. This results in a space that can remain cool on the hottest days. The opening shutters, louvre blades and large panes of glass create a naturally lit space internally, enhancing performances and events taking place within. The structure demonstrates innovative design and cyclone resistance whilst still using only locally sourced materials, thus allowing the project to be replicable by local communities in Fiji. The building’s structural design was carried out by Centrespace Design, who have supported CAUKIN’s work for the past 4 years.

项目的建造历时8个星期。施工团队由20位来自不同国家建筑学院和建筑事务所的参与者组成，并与当地的30多位工人进行了合作。类似的协作在项目开始前6个月便已启动；设计的每个阶段均采纳了来自社区的意见。建造的过程中不时会涉及到更多细节上的研究，参与者们与Naidi村的村民们同吃同住，潜移默化地获得了有用的知识和经验。

The project construction took place over the course of 8 weeks, with a team of 20 international participants from architecture schools and practices, working alongside over 30 local workers. The design was the result of a collaborative process that began 6 months prior to the project start date, and included input from the community at every stage of the design development. Much of the detailing and ongoing research happened concurrently with the project construction, with all participants living with the families of Naidi Village and gaining experience and knowledge through cultural immersion.

CAUKIN Studio与Naqaqa施惠基金会旗下机构Jazmin Fund合作完成了该项目，后者积极地鼓励将表演艺术作为社区大厅的设计主题，从而为Naidi村营造一个富于创意同时又能够凭借其坚固结构抵御然灾害的公共场所。

CAUKIN Studio worked in partnership with The Jazmin Fund, a charitable arm of the Naqaqa Giving Foundation to realise the project. The Jazmin Fund, run by Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, helped encourage a performing arts theme to the hall and its design. The brief was to create a space which enabled the Naidi Community to express themselves creatively whilst providing a structure strong enough to take shelter in - in the event of any future natural disasters.

自建成以来，大厅每周三都会举行当地音乐会和手工艺工作坊，并在每晚为孩子们组织一小时的阅读活动，此外也用于婚礼和葬礼等仪式。由于新建筑吸引了更多顾客的到来，村民制作的手工纪念品的销量也有所增长。最近，社区大厅还申请了幼儿园资格，每天有17名儿童在这里上学。

Since completion, the hall has hosted a local concerts, arts and crafts workshops every Wednesday, a reading hour every evening for the children as well as weddings and funerals. The handicraft salesmen and women have also recorded greater sales of their handmade souvenirs due to the new hall attracting more customers. In recent months the hall has become a registered kindergarten with 17 children in attendance everyday.
