羅斯·蘭登健康教育中心，曼尼亞，烏干達

建筑設計：羅斯·蘭登和FH建筑師事務所

Architects: Ross Langdon and Studio FH Architects

羅斯·蘭登健康教育中心位于烏干達西南部的拉卡伊區曼尼亞村，是一座小型的社區講堂。它能容納大約150名聽眾，座位是簡單的陶土地磚臺階，還有一個小型的抬升舞臺可供主講人使用。與講堂相鄰，有一間私人會議室和一家商店。前方則是由綠廊覆蓋的林蔭步道，人們可以在此進行集會和休閑活動。

這座建筑由羅斯·蘭登設計。這位年輕的澳大利亞建筑師及其妻子和未出生的孩子都在內羅畢西門購物中心恐怖襲擊中與其他受害者一起不幸喪生。羅斯短暫的職業生涯涉及澳大利亞、英國和非洲東部地區，他留下了大量的設計，其中包括獲獎作品克揚比拉木屋旅館。其所有項目都以富于想象力的方式根據地點、氣候、材料和使用者進行專門設計，且都受到對“變色龍建筑”理念進行不懈追求的激情驅動。

在他已不在世的情況下，盡我們所能地理解，羅斯將這座健康教育中心設想為一個小型的展庭、一個全然內向的空間，并用在烏干達南部當地能找到的最基本的材料建成——用桉樹桿作為主要結構材料，以粘土磚填充墻面，地面則鋪陶土地磚。盡管整座建筑沒有窗戶，建筑的圍合結構以各種不同方式透過光線；其中包括磚墻上透空的孔洞，墻面與屋頂之間的縫隙，屋頂高處能夠進行自然采光的通風口，再加上“幾升光線”，照亮了舞臺區域。屋頂由桉樹樹干支撐鍍鋅屋面板建成，天花則以經過特殊設計的手工“穆凱卡”蘆葦席做成。

羅斯去世后，項目的業主——澳大利亞的“Cotton On基金會”聯系了烏干達當地的FH建筑師工作室，要求他們完成設計，并盡力按照原創者的意圖完善設計。FH建筑師工作室的主持建筑師費利克斯·霍蘭——同時也是羅斯的好友——接受了這項挑戰，并組織了一支由盡心盡力的設計人員與施工人員組成的設計團隊。他們經過抽絲剝繭的偵探過程破解羅斯的設計意圖，時而進行一番猜測，時而又產生分歧，最終建成了這座房子。我們希望它公正地體現了這位建筑師的各種理念與設想。□（徐知蘭 譯）

The Ross Langdon Health Education Centre is a small community hall located in the village of Mannya in Rakai，South-western Uganda.It provides space for about 150 people，sitting on simple clay tile steps，and for a speaker，standing on a small elevated platform.Adjacent to the hall is a room for private meetings along with a store.At the front is a walkway covered by a pergola providing shade for informal gatherings and relaxation.

The building was designed by Ross Langdon，a young Australian architect who，together with his wife and unborn child，was amongst the victims of the Westgate attacks in Nairobi.In his short career spanning across Australia，the UK and East Africa，Ross left behind a multitude of designs，including the award-winning Kyambura Lodge，all imaginatively tailored to location，the climate，materials and users，and all driven by an inexhaustible passion for "Chameleon Architecture".

As good as we can tell in his absence，Ross envisioned the Health Education Centre as a small pavilion，entirely inward-looking and made of the most basic of building materials available in Southern Uganda: eucalyptus poles as the main structure with clay brick infills and clay tile floors.There are no windows，and instead the building envelop flters light in various ways； perforations in the brickwork，a gap between walls and roof，a highlevel roof vent with skylight and "Liters of Light" illuminating the stage area.The roof is made of zinc-al roof sheets supported by Eucalyptus trusses，and the ceiling is made of purpose-designed handmade "Mukeka" reed mats.

Following Ross' death，the client，the Cotton On Foundation from Australia，approached Uganda-based Studio FH Architects with the request to complete the design and help implementing it as close as possible to the intentions of the originator.Felix Holland，principal architect at Studio FH and personal friend of Ross，took on the challenge and assembled a team of dedicated designers and builders who went on a detective mission deciphering Ross' design intentions，guessing at times and disagreeing at others，and fnally realizing a building that we hope does justice to the ideas and visions of the architect.□
