在项目之前，工作空间是按照传统的Office模型组织的，这种模式不利于空间的集成或宜居性。因此，有必要提出一项解释当前工作动态的提案，同时可以将其插入现有的空间。

Before the project the workspace was organized from a conventional model of office, which did not favor the integration, or the habitability of the spaces. For this reason it became necessary a proposal that interpreted the current working dynamics and at the same time, that could be inserted into the pre-existing space.

干预区包括一个​​2000平方米的表面，由于2010年的地震和一些最终削弱了原有建筑的改造，这一地区的状况不太好。旧办公室是从一条中央走廊订购的，该走廊将两个开放工作站区域分开；同时，在工厂的纵向设有私人办公室、会议室和浴室，这些办公室是在建筑物正面组织起来的，从而限制了朝向工厂中心的工作空间的照明。尽管采取了这些和其他干预措施，但仍有可能认识到建筑物中具有重要价值的一些属性，如高度、结构和方向。

The intervention area consisted in a surface of ​​2000 m2, which wasn’t in very good condition because of the earthquake of 2010 and some modifications which eventually detracted from the original architecture. The old office were ordered from a central corridor that divided two areas of open workstations; simultaneously, in the longitudinal direction of the plant, were located private offices, meeting rooms and bathrooms, which were organized against building facades, thus limiting the illumination of work spaces that were located towards the center of the plant. Despite these and other interventions, it was possible to recognize some attribute in the building that had an important value such as the height, the structure and the orientation.

对于建议的定义，我们制定了三项核心原则：突出现有建筑，设计一个激发现代和充分团队合作的空间，最后确定工作空间和流通的自然照明的优先次序。有了这些想法，我们决定释放建筑的北面和东面，从而定义一个将工作站与直射光隔离开来的展厅，同时确定了一个流通领域和相遇点。另一方面，会议室集中在工厂的中轴线，以确定两个平行的工作区域。这些房间的布置是纵向的，同时通过流通，使各种方案(办公室、工作站、会议室和流通)得以整合。

For the definition of the proposal we establish three core principles: to stand out the pre-existing building, to design a space that inspires a modern and adequate teamwork, and finally to prioritize the natural lighting for work spaces and circulation. With these ideas is that we decide to release the northern and eastern façade of the building, so as to define a gallery that distance the workstations from direct light, and at the same time determined a circulation area and encounter. On the other hand the meeting rooms are concentrated on the central axis of the plant so as to define two parallel areas of work. These rooms are arranged longitudinally and are simultaneously traversed by circulations that allow the integration of the various programs (offices, work stations, meeting rooms and circulation).

从所涉及的空间的规模和在工厂进行的活动，我们优先考虑“​​工业”的概念，这定义了材料和装置的选择和使用。这样，每一个元素都是由一个建设性的综合设计而来的，这使得总体比零件更重要。这就是为什么大多数垂直元素都是建立在金属结构和玻璃的基础上的，它们也大声地定义了体积上的特定程序，这些程序同时在视觉上与工厂的其他部分集成在一起。此外，地板的定义和设计，以支持工厂的程序秩序，以区别纵向横向循环，工作站，会议室等。

From the scale of the space involved and of the activities that take place in the factory, we prioritize the idea of “the ​​industrial”, which define the election and the use of the materials and installations. In this way each one of the elements is design from a constructive synthesis which makes that the total be more important than the parts. That´s why most of the vertical elements are construct based on metal structures and glass, which also aloud to define volumetrically certain programs at the same time that are visually integrate with the rest of the plant. Also the floor is define and design to support the program order of the plant, in order to differentiate longitudinal transverse circulations, work stations, meeting rooms, etc.
