为了青少年的健康发展：男生女生俱乐部

放学后的时间对儿童的全面发展至关重要。在许多边缘化地区，儿童在放学后没有成人监督，这种情况对他们的健康、安全构成了威胁。在这些地区，由于缺乏安全的娱乐空间，暴力、吸毒和酗酒以及不安全因素阻碍了健康发展，导致社会结构的削弱。这种情况使产生不平等的负面循环长期存在，对社区造成许多的严重后果。

After-school time is critical for children’s comprehensive development. In marginalized areas, many children are left without adult supervision when classes finish, a situation that poses a risk to their health, safety and general wellbeing. In these areas, the lack of safe spaces for recreation means that violence, drug and alcohol use, and insecurity hinder healthy development and lead to the weakening of the social fabric. This situation perpetuates negative cycles that generate inequality, among many other serious consequences for the community.

项目男生女生俱乐部旨在为 6 至 18 岁的年轻人提供一个安全和健康的环境，提供可以进行为创造性、创新性、物理和智力的课后活动空间，这是一个通过游戏、艺术和学习促进积极的价值观和社区融合的空间。项目位于Tecámac和Ecatepec两个市镇的边界，在半径2公里（1.2英里）的范围内有15个低收入社区，该地区位于联邦内政部设立的特别犯罪预防区内，Ecatepec和Tecámac的总人口为207万，人口密度、不安全感和犯罪率在墨西哥都是最高的。

The Club of Niños y Niñas is a project established to provide young people aged between 6 and 18 years’ old a safe and healthy environment for creative, innovative, physical, and intellectual after-school activities; this is a space that promotes positive values and community integration through play, art, and learning. The Club is located at the boundary between two municipalities, Tecámac and Ecatepec, with a catchment area of 15 low-income neighborhoods within a two-kilometer (1.2-mile) radius. This area is located within a special crime prevention zone set up by the federal Interior Ministry. Ecatepec and Tecámac have a combined population of 2,070,000, with the highest population density, insecurity and crime levels in Mexico.

项目最大的挑战之一是与当地社区的互动：获得邻居的信任至关重要。在建设过程中，我们积极地在社区中为周围的居民提供各种活动，向他们介绍俱乐部的使命和内容。其他相关的挑战是寻找建筑材料的捐赠，寻求专家和承包商的合作，以及公共和私人机构的支持。

One of the most relevant challenges was interaction with the community: it was essential to gain the trust of the neighbors. During the construction process, we were active in the community offering various activities to the inhabitants of the surrounding neighborhoods, to introduce them to the mission and programs of the Club. Other relevant challenge for the execution of the project was the search for the donation in kind of the construction materials, the collaboration of specialists and contractors, as well as the support of public and private institutions.

该项目被分为三栋建筑：建筑A是一个教育大楼，包括教室、音乐、艺术和电脑空间，以及厨房、图书馆和多功能室。在一个单层体量中，建筑有两个相邻的中央庭院，在视觉上被理解为一个单独的空间。天井提供了自然通风和光照，而不需要在立面上安装窗户，以实现以下具体目标：保护儿童，因为教室不需要走很远的距离就可以得到监督；保护教室设施不被破坏和偷窃。通过不让学生看到运动和娱乐场所，防止他们在课堂上分心。

The project was divided into three buildings: Building A the educational building, housing classrooms and spaces for music, art and computers, as well as a kitchen, library, and multipurpose room. Developed in a single-level volume, the building has two adjoining central courtyards understood visually as a single space. The patio provides natural ventilation and illumination without the need for windows on the façades, to achieve the following specific objectives: protecting children, as classrooms can be supervised without needing to walk long distances; safeguarding classroom facilities from possible vandalism and theft; and preventing the boys and girls being distracted during classes, by not providing views towards the sports and recreational areas.

建筑B是一栋艺术楼，它用于开展较少的学术活动：一个舞蹈班的大厅，一个道场，以及一个大型的多功能区域，用于学生的临时艺术展览和类似活动。该楼还有一个半开放的礼堂，用于音乐演奏会、舞蹈表演和各类讲座，并与通往中央天井的主楼梯流畅连接。楼内还配套有专门为青少年设计的空间，青少年可以在安全的环境中放松，这里会举办培训课程和讲座，向青少年宣传吸毒和其他成瘾的风险，以及性教育等主题。

Building B is the arts building. It is used for less academic activities: a hall for dance classes, a dojo, as well as a large multipurpose area for students’ temporary art exhibitions and similar events. The building also has a semi-open auditorium for music recitals, dance performances and all kinds of talks, and is fluidly connected with the main staircase leading to the central patio. The building is complemented with a space designed exclusively for teenagers, who can relax in a safe environment; training sessions and talks are held here to inform young people about the risks of taking drugs and other addictions, as well as sex education and other topics.

建筑C为运动楼，由一个大型的屋顶空间组成，可适应各种活动和运动。该楼朝北，由于其锯齿形屋顶，提供了自然采光。

Building C is the sports building and consists of a large roofed space adaptable to all kinds of activities and sports. This building’s north-facing orientation provides natural lighting thanks to its saw- tooth roof.

这三座建筑由一条有盖的走廊连接起来，作为引导轴线，组织整体空间。其由24个拱门形式椎体组成的，这是建筑设计的中轴。拱廊是一个巧妙的几何结构，由外露的混凝土拱门组成。24个模块中的每一个模块都代表了人类的一个脊椎骨，反映了全面的教育和培训是美好未来的基础这一理念。

The three buildings are connected by a covered corridor that functions as a guiding axis and to organize the overall space. This element—composed of 24 vertebrae in the form of arches—is the back- bone of the architectural design. The arcade is an ingenious geometric structure of exposed concrete arches. Each of the 24 modules represents a human vertebra reflecting the idea that comprehensive education and training is the foundation for a better future.

该项目完成了各种运动和休闲区：篮球场、足球场、广场、公园和花园，以及宽阔的广场和楼梯，雕塑了自然的拓扑结构，并流向相邻的空间，开放而自由。这座建筑之所以能成为现实，要感谢众多公司和个人为这一崇高事业慷慨解囊。

The project is completed with various sports and recreational areas: basketball courts, soccer pitches, squares, parks and gardens, as well as broad esplanades and stairways that sculpt the natural topogaphy and that flow into adjacent spaces, open and free of definition. The building became a reality thanks to the generosity of numerous companies and individuals who contributed to this noble cause.
