教育区和游客服务中心 “的建筑项目位于墨西哥城查普尔特佩克森林第一区的阿方索-L-埃雷拉查普尔特佩克动物园的主要通道的北面。该项目是动物园全面改善的一部分,提供教育和文化领域的互动体验。

The architectural project for the “Educational Area and Visitor Service Center” is located on the north face of the main access road of the Alfonso L. Herrera Chapultepec Zoo, within the 1st Section of the Chapultepec Forest, in Mexico City. The project is part of the comprehensive improvement of the zoo and offers interactive experiences in the educational and cultural fields.

总的设计理念侧重于在建筑干预的表面实现最小的影响,尊重并整合场地内现有的植物物种作为建筑体验的一部分,确保对底土的最大透水性,并提供一个建筑产品,与其宏伟的位置积极对话,并回收和增加现有未使用财产的价值。

The general design vision focused on achieving the minimum impact within the surface destined for the architectural intervention, respecting and integrating the existing plant species of the site as part of the building experience, ensuring maximum water permeability to the subsoil, and offering an architectural product that actively dialogues with its magnificent location, and recycles and adds value to an existing underused property.

以一个规则的四角棱镜作为基本的调制单位,新建筑的建议自然地在地形中蔓延,设法划定和模糊建筑的界限以及它与自然的关系。56个模块被分组,包含人行道、楼梯、坡道、一个露天论坛、一个多功能厅、一个游客服务空间、卫生设施、一个仓库和一个机房。主要的覆盖空间被抬高,以确保最小的影响和最大的雨水收集区域。

Taking a regular quadrangular prism as the basic unit of modulation, the proposal for the new construction spreads naturally through the terrain, managing to draw and blur the limits of architecture and its relationship with nature. 56 modules are grouped to contain walkways, stairs, a ramp, an open-air forum, a multipurpose room, a visitor service space, sanitary units, a warehouse, and a machine room. The main covered spaces are elevated to ensure the minimum impact and the largest rainwater catchment area.

通过空模块、不同方向和密度的条纹象限、具有固体和透明表面的封闭棱镜以及现有和拟建的植被,光和影将空间衔接起来,包住了几何形状,并将内部和外部结合起来。

It is through empty modules, striated quadrants in different directions and densities, closed prisms with solid and transparent surfaces, and existing and proposed vegetation, that light, and shadow articulate spaces that envelop geometry and integrate interior and exterior.

在回收现有建筑的情况下,重点是充分保护已经建成的物体的建筑质量,并对其进行战略性干预。同样地,我们提出了一个新的体量,它轻盈而透明,将作为一个点睛之笔与它所在的石头基地积极对话,并通过其材料和透明度与新建筑对话。

In the case of the recycling of the existing building, the focus was on fully conserving the architectural quality of the already built object and intervening strategically inside it. Likewise, a new volume was proposed, light and transparent, that would actively dialogue as a finishing touch with the stone base on which it rests, as well as with the new construction through its materiality and transparency.
