架构师提供的文本描述。位于里斯本雷斯特洛的富裕地区，新的埃及大使馆坐落在阿韦尼达多姆瓦斯科达伽马的一块地块上，其典型特点是20世纪40年代和50年代的一系列大型独立别墅，其中许多已逐渐转变为外交代表。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in Lisbon’s affluent quarter of Restelo, the new Embassy of Egypt stands on a plot in Avenida Dom Vasco da Gama which is typologically characterized by a string of large free-standing villas of the 1940s and 50s, many of which have been gradually been converted into diplomatic representations.

大使馆大楼既是公民的港湾，也是公民的避风港，也是国家最高层的外国代表。它将庇护和安全的理念与国家历史和文化的象征价值结合在一起。在这种情况下，地块的监管约束所产生的紧凑性最终起到了设计隐喻的作用。考虑到埃及建立大规模刻板印象的传统；强调某种严肃性观念的人，后者是大使馆礼宾的基本要素。

An embassy building is just as much a harbor and a safe-haven for its citizens, as it is the state’s foreign representation at the highest level.  It combines the idea of sheltering and safety, with the symbolic values of the country’s history and culture.  In this case, the compactness yielding from the plot’s regulatory constraints ultimately served as a design metaphor, having in mind Egypt’s founding tradition of massive stereotomic; one that emphasizes a certain idea of solemnity, the latter an essential element of embassy protocol. 

 Axonometric

考虑到这一点，这座建筑本质上是由三块厚厚的石板组成的一块巨石，再加上一堆图案斑驳的墙壁，这些墙巧妙地让人联想起古埃及的几何图案。按照古典的后连体系，这些墙会在特定的位置被打断，形成窗户，而在上一层，每个角落形成一个阳台的后退和旋转从一个角度到下一个。正面是预制混凝土面板的深无烟煤颜料，强调了巨大的引力的整体，同时与轻的窗口框架，这是手工制作的精致青铜涂层不锈钢型材。

With this in mind, the building is essentially a monolith composed by three thick slabs combined with an interweaving mass of patterned walls with bas-reliefs discreetly evocative of ancient Egyptian geometric motifs.  Following the classical post-and-lintel system, these walls are interrupted at specific positions to form windows, while on the upper floor each corner forms a balcony by receding and revolving from one angle to the next. The facade is in precast concrete panels of a deep anthracite pigment that emphasizes the monumental gravitas of the ensemble, at the same time contrasting with the lightness of the window frames, which are handcrafted in delicate bronze coated stainless steel profiles.

公众和私人电路的明确性，以及访客的充分可见性“Access（Access）是设计核心的一个关键安全问题。位于地块中心的19世纪大别墅，周围有一个紧密的花园，在其毗邻的侧面，汽车的入口是由VascodaGamaAvenue（VascodaGamaAvenue）的缓坡进行的。在对面，一个安全网关调查和过滤行人公共访问大使馆和领事馆。

Clarity of public and private circuits, as well as full visibility of visitors’ access, is a critical security issue at the core of the design.  Positioned like a large 19th-century villa in the center of the plot, surrounded by a tight garden on its contiguous sides, car access is made by a gentle ramp from Vasco da Gama avenue.  On the opposite side, a security gateway surveys and filters pedestrian public access to the embassy and to the consulate, respectively.

在室内，人们一直在谨慎地选择那些多年来天气温和、长成帕蒂纳(Patina)的材料，而不是变得破旧不堪。考虑到这一点，公共区域都是大的白色石板，上面铺着壁板，用油漆过的木头做镶板。最后，公共区域的核心是一个中庭，里面有一种巴比伦式的楼梯，就像阿皮亚的舞台一样，这个中央的中庭是由一个天窗组成的棺材，它被伊斯兰图案的百叶窗过滤，产生千变万化的光，在白天投下一个旋转的阴影。

Inside, care has been taken to choose materials that weather gently and grow patina over the years, instead of becoming rundown.  With that in mind, the public areas are in large white stone slabs with wainscots and paneling in painted wood.  Finally, the centerpiece of the public area, an atrium with a kind of Babelesque stairway, that, like an Appian stage, is clad in a veiled solid wood railing that migrates to the walls to become an all-encompassing panel.  This central atrium is crowned by a skylight coffin which is filtered by an Islamic patterned louver that generates a kaleidoscopic light, casting a revolving shadow across the day.
