架构师提供的文本描述。这一项目的基础是对托雷斯韦德拉斯历史中心的一些建筑物进行改造，以便容纳一个致力于音乐、表演、新媒体和视觉艺术的创新艺术中心。

Text description provided by the architects. This project is based on the adaptation of a number of buildings in the historic centre of Torres Vedras so as to accommodate an innovative arts centre dedicated to music, performance, new media and the visual arts.

这所年轻机构的雄心，以及融入和重建城市整体的意愿-包括一项与自己的街道配套的小型住房计划-决定了变形金刚(Transforma)总部应该利用公共和私人之间的模糊性。虽然较低楼层的自助餐厅可能会通过正门扩展到邻近的广场，但一条新建的城市通道延伸了现有的小巷，将城市的不同层次连接起来。提供多样的空间体验，包括公共通道的可能性，这条道路允许进入构成艺术组织核心的多用途、肾形礼堂。

The ambitions of the young institution, as well as the willingness to integrate and rehabilitate the urban ensemble – including a small housing scheme complete with its own street – determined that the Transforma headquarters should play on the ambiguity between public and private. While a cafeteria in the lower floor potentially expands onto the adjacent plaza through the main entrance, a newly minted urban pathway extends the existing alley to connect different levels of the city. Offering diverse spatial experiences, including the possibility of public passage, this path gives access to the multipurpose, kidney shaped auditorium that constitutes the central core of the arts organization.

一般情况下，公共外观被改造得最少，而新的内部“器官”作为一组与新功能和用途相关联的体积和胶囊来推动旧墙。

In general, public facades are minimally transformed, while new internal “organs” push against the old walls as a set of volumes and capsules linked to new functions and uses.

不同的颜色被用来表征这些胶囊作为一个基本的过程，以声称他们的存在和独特的性质。

Different colours are used to characterize these capsules as a basic process to claim their presence and exceptional character.
