创新的教育理念：Thaden School的设计理念体现了其独特的教育模式，将学术与实践紧密结合。通过“轮子”、“膳食”和“卷轴”三个标志性课程，学校不仅关注理论知识的传授，更注重学生的动手能力和创造力的培养。这种教育方式不仅激发了学生的学习兴趣，也为他们提供了丰富的实践机会，使他们在学习过程中能够更好地理解和应用所学知识。校园的设计巧妙地支持了这种教育理念，通过与社区组织的合作，为学生提供了校内外的学习机会，使学习不再局限于传统的教室环境，而是扩展到了更广阔的社会实践中。

环境与建筑的和谐共生：校园规划充分考虑了与自然环境的融合，通过创建“共享街道”将两个独立的地块统一起来，实现了汽车、行人和骑自行车的人的和谐共存。校园建筑采用阿肯色州常见的策略，狭长的建筑布局有效控制了阳光直射，同时利用屋檐实现自然通风，既节能又环保。此外，校园本身还是一种教学工具，其农业景观和恢复性景观不仅为学生提供了实践学习的场所，还为解决洪水和恢复原生生态系统做出了贡献。这种与环境和谐共生的设计理念，不仅为学生创造了一个舒适的学习和生活环境，也培养了他们对自然环境的尊重和保护意识。

建筑的教育意义与美学价值：校园内的建筑不仅是功能性的空间，更是具有教育意义的建筑作品。例如，Thaden House的保护和重建，不仅展示了历史建筑的魅力，也为学生提供了了解历史和文化的机会。Reels艺术与行政大楼的起伏屋顶和独特的设计，不仅解决了集水和采光的环境挑战，还为校园增添了视觉美感。Wheels科学与制造大楼的线性平面图和有盖区域的设计，不仅方便了学生的学习和活动，也展示了建筑的实用性和美学价值。这些建筑不仅为学生提供了良好的学习环境，也通过其独特的设计和功能，激发了学生的创造力和想象力，使他们在学习过程中能够感受到建筑的魅力和意义。

建筑师提供的文字描述Thaden school是一所公立私立学校，是阿肯色州本顿维尔的一所新的独立中学和高中。该校独特的课程将学术卓越与边做边学相结合，并设有三个标志性课程：轮子（通过建造和使用自行车和其他轮式机器使物理和力学领域变得生动），膳食（通过种植和准备食物使生物学、化学和社区变得生动）和卷轴（通过制作电影和视频使叙事和视觉交流变得生动）。
Text description provided by the architects. A private school with a public purpose, Thaden School is a new independent middle and high school in Bentonville, Arkansas. The school's unique curriculum combines academic excellence with learning by doing and features three signature programs: Wheels (where the fields of physics and mechanics come alive through the construction and use of bicycles and other wheeled machines), Meals (where biology, chemistry, and community come alive through the growing and preparation of food), and Reels (where narrative and visual communication come alive through the production of film and video).

通过与附近的社区组织在视觉和烹饪艺术、骑自行车和社区服务方面的合作，学校将为学生提供在校内外学习的机会。学校的“全学生/全身”教学法将提供室内和室外的学习机会。
Through its partnerships with nearby community organizations in the visual and culinary arts,bicycling, and community service, the school will provide students with opportunities to learn bothon and off campus. The school's "whole student/whole body" pedagogy will feature learningopportunities both indoors and outdoors.

校园规划校园规划通过创建一条汽车、行人和骑自行车的人可以共存的“共享街道”，将两个独立的地块统一起来。在两侧，校园建筑采用阿肯色州常见的策略，狭长的建筑旨在控制暴露在强烈的南方阳光下，并允许屋檐自然通风。这些长形结构经过战略性弯曲，以防止内部走廊过长，并为外部的聚集空间提供框架。校园本身是一种教学工具，是农业的生产性景观，也是解决洪水和恢复原生生态系统的恢复性景观。
Campus Plan. The campus plan unifies two separate plots by creating a "shared street" on which automobiles, pedestrians, and cyclists can coexist. On either side, campus buildings use a strategy familiar in Arkansas, with long narrow buildings oriented to control the exposure to the intense southern sun and to allow natural ventilation at the eave. These long forms are strategically bent to prevent long internal corridors and to frame gathering spaces outside. The campus itself is a teaching tool as a productive landscape for agriculture and a restorative landscape that addresses flooding and restores native ecosystems.

该项目是与Eskew Dumez Ripple、景观设计师Andropogon和工程公司CMTA合作制定的综合总体规划的多阶段实施。Marlon Blackwell Architects设计了校园内7栋建筑中的6栋，于2019年至2021年间完工。
The project is a multi-phased implementation of a comprehensive master plan created incollaboration with Eskew Dumez Ripple, landscape architects Andropogon, and engineering firmCMTA. Marlon Blackwell Architects designed 6 out of 7 buildings on the campus, completedbetween 2019 and 2021.

建筑物先锋飞行员路易斯·塔登的故居，学校以他的名字命名，已搬迁到校园的东北角，作为第八街和C街拐角处的门户。外部经过精心保护和重建，以反映其原始外观，并辅以一个新的独立卫生间，位于房屋的南侧，营造出二十世纪初奥索卡农场常见的庭院格局。内部开放，展示了历史建筑，并创造了一个更宏伟的入口和会议室。较小的翼楼是会议室和画廊，第二层被重新配置为容纳房屋和塔登家族历史的私人档案馆。
Buildings.Thaden House (2019).The original home of pioneering aviator Louis Thaden, for whom the school is named, has beenrelocated to the northeast corner of the campus, serving as a gateway from the corner of Eighth andC Streets. The exterior is carefully preserved and reconstructed to reflect its original appearance,complemented by a new detached washroom, positioned to the south of the house to create a courtconfiguration common in early twentieth-century Ozark farmsteads. The interior opens to revealthe historical construction and create a grander entrance and boardroom. The smaller wing is ameeting room and gallery, and the second level is reconfigured to house a private archive of thehistory of the house and the Thaden family.

Reels艺术与行政大楼（2019年8月）新的艺术与行政大楼内设有标志性的Thaden School课程Reels，包括教室、湿实验室和行政空间。为了应对集水和采光的环境挑战，起伏的屋顶还为入口提供了框架，并连接了各种景观。从校园的几乎每个地方都可以看到，独特的屋顶坡度和卷材提供了日光和通风。位于校园东北角，一个大型入口门廊通往校园中心、Thaden Performance大楼和与Thaden House共享的庭院。
Reels Arts and Administration Building (August 2019). The new Art and Administration Building houses the signature Thaden School program, Reels, and includes classrooms, wet labs, and administrative spaces. Designed to respond to the environmental challenges of water collection and daylighting, the undulating roof also frames entries and connects various landscapes. Visible from almost everywhere on campus, the distinctive roof pitches and rolls provide daylight and ventilation. Sited on the northeast corner of the campus, a large entry porch leads to the campus center, the Thaden Performance building, and a courtyard shared with Thaden House.

与Reels项目位于同一地点，管理层与校园活动保持联系，并为一年级中学生提供支持和培养环境。在里面，教室和湿实验室被服务空间的酒吧隔开，包括储藏室、卫生间和机械区。一条采光走廊连接着各个实验室，两旁是学生学习和学习空间，创造了一个充满活力和协作的学习环境。
Co-located with the Reels program, the administration remains connected to the activity of the campus and provides a supportive and nurturing environment for first-year middle-school students. Inside, classrooms and wet labs are divided by bars of service spaces that include storage, restrooms, and a mechanical area. A daylit corridor connects the various labs and is lined with student learning and study spaces, creating a dynamic and collaborative learning environment.

车轮科学与制造大楼（2020年8月）作为标志性车轮项目的所在地，科学与制造大楼通过将校园与本顿维尔广场连接起来，为学校创造了公众形象。该建筑位于2个学生共享空间的西侧和Thaden Performance大楼的南侧，向东开放，营造出一种入口和到达的感觉。主街上的天棚充当了校园的“广告牌”，并为Wheels实验室创造了一个户外工作空间。与艺术和行政大楼类似，Wheels大楼的屋顶既是一种象征性的表达，也是一种表演性的回应。
Wheels Science and Fabrication Building (August 2020). Home to the signature Wheels program, the Science and Fabrication Building creates a public presence for the school by linking the campus to Bentonville Square. Situated west of the 2 student commons and south of the Thaden Performance building, the building opens to the east to create a sense of entrance and arrival. A canopy along Main Street acts as a "billboard" for the campus and creates an outdoor workspace for the Wheels lab. Similar to the Arts and Administration Building, the Wheels building roof is a performative response as much as it is a figural expression.

Wheels大楼的线性平面图允许沿其脊柱简单分布程序，而签名程序则固定在东端和西端。有盖区域将学生的工作空间延伸到建筑外，与户外相连，并向校园和社区展示活动。创客空间位于学生公共空间，学生和他们的作品总是在那里展出。一条大型中央走廊加宽，以容纳学生协作和学习空间，全年采光水平一致。
The linear plan of the Wheels building allows for a simple distribution of programs along its spine, while signature programs anchor the east and west ends. Covered areas extend student work spaces out of the building, connecting with the outdoors and displaying activity to the campus and the community. The maker space is located in the student commons, where the students and their work are always on display. A large central corridor widens to accommodate student collaboration and study spaces lit from above with a consistent level of daylighting throughout the year.

自行车谷仓（2020年5月）自行车棚位于校园东侧边缘的护堤上，靠近足球场、自行车道和泵道，与步行道网络融为一体，将ThadenSchool与延伸至阿肯色州西北部的更大步道系统连接起来。通过重新配置奥索卡（Ozark）斜置牛棚的轮廓，以最大限度地提高桁架下方的高度，可以容纳各种运动，包括排球、篮球和自行车，同时还提供自行车存储和支持设施。当地制造商制造了桁架，这些桁架是使用当地材料和专业知识共同开发的。外墙覆盖着当地采购的柏树，并结合了传统上用于谷仓的红色油漆或保护木材的透明饰面。在西侧，足球场旁有一个很深的门廊，为观众提供了庇护所和阴凉处。除了储藏室和储物柜，整个空间都通过柏木墙板上的开放式接缝、通风天窗和一系列通往周围景观的卷帘门自然通风。
Bike Barn (May 2020).Sited on a berm on the eastern edge of the campus next to the soccer field, the cyclo-cross, and thepump track, the Bike Barn is integrated into a network of pedestrian pathways that connect ThadenSchool to a larger system of trails that extend throughout northwest Arkansas. By reconfiguringthe profile of an Ozark gambrel barn to maximize the height below the trusses, a variety of sportscan be accommodated, including volleyball, basketball, and cycling, while also providing bikestorage and support facilities. A local manufacturer fabricated the trusses, which were developedcollaboratively using local materials and expertise.The exterior walls are clad in locally sourced cypress and finished with a combination of red painttraditionally used on barns or a clear finish that protects the wood. On the west side, a deep porchfaces the soccer field and provides shelter and shade for spectators. Except for storage and lockerrooms, the entire space is naturally ventilated through a mix of open joints in the cypress boardsiding, vented skylights, and a series of roller doors that open to the surrounding landscape.

业绩（2021年11月）正如校园总体规划中所设想的那样，Performance位于主校区的西北角，由于其地理位置，公众可以很容易地看到它，它是一个吸引人的社区连接中心，同时维护校园安全。该建筑支持各种表演艺术教育项目，包括音乐、戏剧和电影，所有这些都可以轻松进入世界级的表演场地。多功能和高效的空间分配推进了学校作为即兴创作、实验和想象舞台的使命和身份。宽敞的凉廊和富有表现力的顶棚营造出一种强烈而温馨的街道边缘。它们延伸到建筑主体之外，并通向天窗入口。除了多彩金属外壳升起时两侧的玻璃外，3个表演大厅中只有一个大窗户点缀着外壳。俯瞰校园和原始的Thaden House，这扇巨大的窗户在内部更大，为原本密封的表演大厅带来了柔和的间接光线。表演大厅从舞台直接连接到后台，是一个多功能、专业的创意表演场所。
Performance (November 2021). As envisioned in the campus master plan, Performance is situated on the northwest corner of the main campus and, by virtue of its location, is highly visible to the public and serves as an inviting hub for community connection while maintaining campus security. The building supports a wide variety of educational programs in the performing arts, including music, drama, and film, all with ready access to a world-class performance venue. The versatile and efficient allocation of space advances the school's mission and identity as a stage for improvisation, experimentation, and imagination. A generous loggia and expressive canopy create a strong and welcoming street edge. They extend well beyond the main body of the building and lead to a skylit entryway. Other than the glazing on each side revealed when the multicolored metal shell lifts, only one large window in the 3 performance halls punctuates the exterior shell. Looking out to the campus and the original Thaden House, this monumental window is even larger on the interior, which brings soft, indirect light into an otherwise sealed performance hall. With direct connections from the stage to the back of the house, the performance hall is a versatile and professional venue for creative performance.
