近40年后，这颗闪闪发光的钻石不再像以前那么明亮了。今天，多论坛存在许多问题。壁画的易碎材料和油漆已经成为元素和空气污染的受害者，需要不断的关注和修复，以促进和保护结构的状况。然而，作为一个私人博物馆，多元论坛没有得到政府的支持，需要不断的开支来进行重要的维护和修复工作。博物馆根本没有足够的资金来支持它的使命：保存和推广大卫·西奎罗斯的独特而非凡的作品。

Nearly four decades later, the sparkling diamond does not shine as bright as it once did. Today, there are many problems concerning the Polyforum. The mural's fragile materials and paints have become victim to the elements and air contamination, requiring constant attention and restoration to promote and preserve the structure's condition. However, being a private museum, the Polyforum receives no government support and requires constant expenditure for its crucial maintenance and restoration. The museum simply does not have the adequate funds to support its mission: to preserve and promote the unique, extraordinary work of David Siqueiros.

针对这些问题，多方论坛的业主建议建立一个综合项目，以保证壁画的维护、保存和推广。在建筑的北侧，一座纤细的高塔将升起，被设计成一个用来拥抱、提升和保护多论坛之美的背景。

In response to these problems, the owners of the Polyforum proposed to create an integral project which would guarantee the maintenance, conservation, and promotion of the murals. On the north side of the building, a slender tower will rise, designed to be a backdrop to embrace, enhance, and preserve the beauty of the Polyforum.

该项目开始于消除其现有的停车场，以创造一个诱人的公共空间，理想的观看多论坛的外部。塔的足迹将只占整个场地的15%，在较低的楼层，公共空间延伸到建筑物内，作为休息和坐的空间。在这里，游客可以欣赏到论坛北面的景色，这是目前隐藏的观点。

The project begins with ridding the area of its existing parking sites to generate an inviting public space, ideal for viewing the Polyforum's exterior. The tower's footprint will only occupy 15% of the entire site, and on the lower floors, the public space extends into the building as areas designed for sitting and resting. Here, visitors can enjoy views of the north side of the forum, a viewpoint which is currently hidden.

当塔楼上升到多层论坛的高度以上时，它的宽度将加倍，形成一个微小的悬臂，覆盖在玻璃上，就在多丽论坛上方。倾斜的形式，加上玻璃的反射特性，将屋顶的壁画反射到街道和广场上，吸引游客和行人的注意和欣赏。悬臂的顶端是一个空中大厅，其特色是开放的公共露台，这再次为观察Siqueiros令人惊叹的壁画创造了一个视角。

As the tower rises above the height of the Polyforum, it will double in width, resulting in a slight cantilever covered in glass positioned right over the Polyforum. The inclined form along with the reflective properties of glass will reflect the murals of the roof onto the street and plaza to be noticed and admired by visitors and pedestrians. The cantilever culminates with a sky lobby featuring an open, public terrace, which again, creates a viewpoint for observing the Siqueiros' stunning murals.

大楼的其余高层将容纳商业机构、办公室、公寓和酒店。租户的部分租金将直接捐给保护多元论坛的行政信托基金。

The remaining, upper floors of the tower will house commercial establishments, offices, apartments, and hotel. Portions of tenants’ rent will contribute directly to the Administrative Trust for the preservation of the Polyforum.

建筑师们很小心地设计了一个谨慎的建筑，这不会带走现有论坛的美丽和重要性。由此产生的项目是精心设计的，以克服多元论坛目前的困难，而不改变，移动，触摸，或影响地标或其宝贵的杰作。

The architects were careful to design a discreet building which would not take away from the beauty or importance of the existing forum. The resulting project was carefully designed to combat the Polyforum’s current difficulties without changing, moving, touching, or affecting the landmark or its precious masterpiece.
