创业狮子科技园是一个信息和通信技术（ICT）园区，位于肯尼亚的图尔卡纳湖畔。该项目通过提供高水平的培训和接触到国际工作机会的途径，来应对该地区面临的青年失业的紧迫挑战，也使青年企业家不必离开他们的原籍地就能在职业上得到发展。该园区将提供100个新的工作站，作为在偏远地区铺开信息和通信技术网络之宏伟愿景的第一步。

The Startup Lions Campus is an information and communication technologies (ICT) campus, located on the banks of Lake Turkana, Kenya. The project responds to the pressing challenge of youth unemployment faced in the region by offering high-level training and access to international job opportunities, allowing young entrepreneurs to thrive professionally without having to leave their place of origin. The campus will provide 100 new workstations and is the first step in an ambitious vision of spreading ICT networks in remote areas.

该项目颂扬了其所在地的独特地貌形态和自然美景。其建筑之间跨越了两层楼的高差，顺应自然坡度，并设有广阔的屋顶平台，可俯瞰图尔卡纳湖的全景。屋顶平台被匍匐的植被遮蔽，提供了令人愉悦的户外聚集空间和非正式交流的机会。

The project celebrates the unique morphology and natural beauty of its site. It is built over two levels that follow the natural slope and features extensive roof terraces that offer sweeping views over Lake Turkana. The roof terraces are shaded by creeping vegetation, providing pleasant outdoor meeting spaces and opportunities for the informal exchange of ideas.

该建筑从当地白蚁群建造的高耸土丘中获得灵感。高大的通风塔创造了一种烟囱效应，向上抽取暖空气并自然冷却主要工作空间，而新鲜空气则通过特别设计的低层开口引入。这个系统使园区能够承受高温天气，并且由于它可以防止灰尘损坏IT设备，特别适宜在科技园区使用。除了其功能作用外，这些塔楼还在周围环境中创造出一个显眼的地标。

The building takes inspiration from the towering mounds built by termite colonies in the region. Tall ventilation towers create a stack effect to naturally cool the main working spaces by extracting warm air upwards, while fresh air is introduced through specially designed low-level openings. This system allows the campus to withstand high temperatures and is especially well suited as it prevents dust from damaging the IT equipment. In addition to their functional role, the towers create a landmark in the surroundings.

园区的建筑是由当地采石场的石料建成，表面是石膏饰面。在选择使用哪种材料和施工技术时，团队对生态可持续性、成本和易得程度等因素进行了权衡，以达成平衡各因素的最佳方案。在这一决策过程中，与当地社区的合作是关键，团队从他们的经验和实践中汲取了营养。

The campus is built out of locally sourced quarry stone with a plaster finish. In choosing which materials and construction techniques to use, ecological sustainability, cost and availability factors were weighed to arrive at the best compromise. Collaboration with the local community was key in this decision-making process, drawing from their experience and expertise.
