架构师提供的文本描述。AIRA位于Querétaro市北部最发达的地区之一，距离主干道100米，是一座由35套公寓组成的塔。该项目位于一个狭窄而深的场地上，面积为2，100平方米。它的紧凑体积反映了产生开放空间和创造绿色区域的意图，并提供了一个强有力的垂直反应，一个地区主导的水平建筑。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in one of the most extensively developed areas in the north of the city of Querétaro, and 100m from one of the principal avenues, AIRA is a tower of 35 apartments. The project is located on a narrow and deep site measuring 2,100 m2. Its compact volumetry reflects the intention to generate open space and to create green areas and offers a forceful vertical response to an area dominated by horizontal architecture.

建筑面积10382平方米，七套公寓原型每层四台。第1、2、3、4、7和8层是标准平面图，一层的公寓面积从97平方米到157平方米不等。在第5层和第6层，有一个特殊的公寓类型，有两层和170平方米的面积。在第9层和第10层，每层有两套顶层公寓，朝南的有260平方米，朝北的有236平方米。

With 10,382m2 of construction, seven apartment prototypes are distributed four per level. Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are standard floor plans with apartments on one floor ranging from 97m2 to 157m2. On levels 5 and 6 there is a special apartment type with two levels and 170m2 of floor space. On levels 9 and 10 there are two penthouses per floor, those facing south measure 260m2 and those facing north 236m2.

超过1000平方米的广场，梯田和花园补充了该项目的居住空间。公共设施区占据了塔底和塔顶。这座建筑占据了遗址的中心，北部有一个绿树成荫的广场供公众使用，南部则有一个更私人的花园。前厅欢迎用户，然后是相辅相成的空间，一起或独立运作。

More than 1,000m2 of plaza, terraces, and gardens complement the living space of the project. The public amenity areas occupy the base and the top of the tower. The construction occupies the center of the site, with a tree-lined plaza for public use to the north and a more private garden to the south. The Lobby welcomes users and is followed by spaces that complement each other, functioning together or independently.

一边是活动厅，一边是培高拉露台，在户外培养时间；另一边是有屋顶的游泳池和露台，辅之以烧烤区和花园。从桥台上升起的西面，可以看到树木茂密的住宅区和壮丽的奎莱塔罗日落。北面是遥远的山脉，把奎莱塔罗州和瓜纳华托州隔开。

To one side, the event room extends to the pergola terrace, fostering time spent outdoors, and to the other, the roofed pool and terrace, which are complemented by the barbecue area and gardens. Rising from the abutment, the west façade seeks privileged views of a wooded residential area and the imposing Querétaro sunset. To the north are views of the distant mountain range that divides the states of Querétaro and Guanajuato.

从外部看，独角石呈现穿孔和切割，而从内部的视图是框架和空间是舒适的邀请空气和光进入空间。用虚空来雕刻固体：建筑的最终形状是从把体积学当作石头雕塑的角度来表现出来的。

From the outside, the monolith presents perforations and cut-outs, while from the inside the views are framed and the space is made comfortable by inviting air and light into the spaces. Sculpting the solid to work with the void: the final shape of the building emerges from treating the volumetry as if it were a stone sculpture.

砂色调的着色混凝土是形成建筑物组成的基础，而双高的混凝土则形成了塔顶。每个人和每个家庭都有独特的需求和品味，这意味着没有一个层次是相同的，即使它们是标准的平面图。露台或桥台之间的隔开有助于戏剧化体积测量，在所有四个立面上都出现了深深的裂缝，这使得空气和光线都能在建筑物中游走。

The pigmented concrete in sandy tones was the basis for shaping the composition of the building, while double-height compositions form the top of the tower. The rhythm and movement of the openings are inspired by the fact that each person and each family have unique needs and tastes, meaning that no level is the same, even if they are standard floor plans. The terraces or the separation between the abutments serve to dramatize the volumetry, and deep cracks appear that are announced on all four facades, inviting the air and light to tour the building.

人们一直在寻找自然界的存在，所有的楼层都被这种关系所激活；绿色的色彩被自然地描绘出来，花盆分布在正面。着色混凝土的墙暗示着该地区土壤的颜色，它们是结构和皮肤的同时。材料的不同细微之处的颜色在体积测量中产生了微妙之处，并允许建筑物随着时间的推移以一种更有尊严的方式老化。Aira在2018年Cemex奖中获得“住宅”类第二名。

A constant presence of the natural world was sought, and all floors are enlivened by this relationship; green hues are painted by nature with the planters that are distributed over the facades. The walls of pigmented concrete allude to the color of the soil in the area; they are structure and skin at the same time. The color of the different nuances of the material generates subtlety in the volumetry and allows the building to age in a more dignified way over time. Aira has been recognized with the 2nd place in the category “Residential” at the Cemex 2018 Awards.
