架构师提供的文本描述。位于墨西哥城最著名的街道Paseo de la Reforma上，Torre Reforma是一个文化、历史和金融区的一部分。这是墨西哥城大城市垂直增长的转折点，拥有2800平方米的地块，对于大约8.7万平方米的高层建筑来说非常小。

Text description provided by the architects. Located on Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City’s most renowned avenues, Torre Reforma is part of a cultural, historical, and financial district. It is a turning point for vertical urban growth in the megalopolis of Mexico City, having a 2,800 m2 ground site, extremely small for a high-rise building of roughly 87,000 m2.

它的形状，由建筑-结构部分衍生，考虑到许多社会、财政和环境因素。这座57层的建筑，以其三角形的形式，由两面246米高的混凝土墙组成，就像一本开着的书，被第三块玻璃幕墙-金属对角线所封闭，可以看到查普尔特佩克公园的全景。它的立面允许多功能柱自由空间，并对减少能源消耗有很大的影响，从全玻璃外墙的一代。现有的历史建筑被整合在一起，成为主大厅的一部分。地下和地下一层的商业区使街道活动得以展开。

Its shape, derived by the architectural-structural parti, takes into consideration many social, financial and environmental factors. The 57 story building, distinguished by its triangular form, is composed of two 246 meter high exposed concrete walls, resembling the form of an open book, closed by a third glass-façade-metallic diagrid, with a panoramic view to Chapultepec Park. Its façades allow for a versatile column free space and have a great impact on the reduction of energy consumption, shifting from an all-glass façade generation. The existing historical house on site is integrated, forming part of the main lobby. The commercial areas at ground floor and first basement allow for the street activity to unfold into the building. 

该建筑有一系列的服务，包括体育设施，开放空间和露台，酒吧和餐馆，花园，礼堂和公共会议室。

The building has an array of services that includes, sport facilities, open spaces and terraces, bars and restaurants, gardens, auditorium, and common meeting rooms.

根据对流动的实际重要性，Torre Reforma非常方便，并与城市基础设施和服务有很好的联系。它的战略位置被重要的道路所包围，如墨西哥城最长的大道Avenida Insurgentes，以及连接城市中心区的城市高速公路。在地面一级，人行道得到扩大，所有使用者都可以进入，优先考虑行人，而不是车辆。这座历史房屋被修复，以恢复其城市价值，作为一个过渡，从一个小规模的步行街到一个高层建筑规模。现有的基础设施包括两个地铁站、公交巴士和多个公共自行车站。

In accordance to the actual importance towards mobility, Torre Reforma is very accessible and well connected to the urban infrastructure and services. Its strategic location is surrounded by important avenues such as Paseo de la Reforma, Avenida Insurgentes, the longest avenue in Mexico City, and Circuito Interior, an urban freeway connecting the city’s central neighborhoods. At ground level the sidewalks were expanded and made accessible for all users, giving priority to pedestrians rather than vehicles. The historical house was restored to recover its urban value, serving as a transition from a small scale at pedestrian level to a high rise building scale. The existing infrastructure includes two subway stations, transit buses, and multiple public bicycle stations.

Torre Reforma是一个发展中地区的主要摩天大楼之一，那里还有许多其他的摩天大楼。Torre Reforma改善了城市天际线的视觉质量，也改善了行人在街道上的视觉质量。

Torre Reforma is one of the leading skyscrapers in a developing area where many others are yet to come.  Torre Reforma improved the visual quality of the city’s skyline as well as at street level for pedestrians. 

实心混凝土结构和建筑外观受到前西班牙裔和殖民时期墨西哥建筑的影响，其中固体材料(混凝土或石头)占主导地位。

The solid concrete structural and architectural facades are influenced by Pre-Hispanic and colonial Mexican architecture where solid materials (concrete or stone) are predominant.

玻璃立面45度，面向城市的最佳景观，以及斜坡14米以上的历史建筑。建筑物的允许高度是物业前面街道宽度的两倍，在这种情况下，是Paseo de la Reforma。然而，虽然有外观高度的限制，适用于财产的条例允许较高的密度。根据墨西哥的规范，在Paseo de la Reforma对面的1.80米高处有一条假想的线，穿过立面的最高点。建筑物的潜在高度是虚线的极限。这使得TorreReforma有246米高，并且有一个从200米高开始的斜面。

The glass façade turns 45 degrees to face the best views of the city as well as slopes 14 meters over the historical house. The allowed height for the building is twice the width of the street in front of the property, in this case, Paseo de la Reforma. However, although there are façade height restrictions, the regulations applicable to the property allowed for a higher density. According to the Mexican norm, an imaginary line is traced at 1.80 meters in height from the opposite side of Paseo de la Reforma, passing through the highest point of the façade. The potential height of the building is the limit of the imaginary line. This allowed Torre Reforma to have 246 meters in height, and have a sloped façade starting at 200 meters in height. 

它被组织成14个四层楼的集群，建筑内的建筑，允许用户在更大的范围内与城市互动，在他们的工作空间中更小的规模。在一个高地震活动的城市，混凝土墙被设计为弯曲，因为它的开口，重复每一簇沿塔，提供自然光室内三高花园。这些花园是从街道水平的公共空间延伸到垂直轴的延伸，创造了室内的微型空间。

It is organized into 14 four-story clusters, buildings within the building, allowing users to interact on a larger scale with the city to a smaller scale within their workspace. In a city with high seismic activity, the concrete walls were designed to bend due to its openings, repeated every cluster along the tower, providing natural light to interior triple height gardens. These gardens are an extension from the horizontal public space at street level to a vertical axis, creating indoor micro spaces.

考虑到AIA 2030对能源性能的承诺，Torre Reforma的结构效率和建筑设计已获得白金USGB预认证。根据ASHRAE的说法，建筑围护结构产生了24%的节能性能。能源消耗的减少是由于立面-结构设计：混凝土墙和双层玻璃外墙的遮阳，使所有办公空间都有自然照明。这大大有利于用户提供美观和舒适的内部空间，以更好的性能。

Considering the AIA 2030 Commitment for energy performance, Torre Reforma’s structural efficiency and architectural design has obtained the Platinum USGB precertification. The building envelope generated a great energy performance with a 24% reduction according to ASHRAE. The reduction of energy consumption is due to the façade-structural design: the concrete walls and the double layer glass façade with shades, allowing natural lighting in all office spaces. This drastically benefits the user by providing aesthetic and comfortable interior spaces for better performance.

雨水和废水在水处理厂是100%的再利用，主要用于浴室和空调。水槽位于塔顶沿线，用于更有效的供水系统，它依赖重力而不是水泵的使用，特别是在火灾紧急情况下。

Rain and waste water is 100% reused in the water treatment plant mainly for bathrooms and the air-conditioning. Water tanks, located along the tower for more effective water system, rely on gravity rather than pump use, particularly in fire emergency.

建筑物的设计是为了优化建筑物内的用户流量，同时也是与城市相关的。在建筑物内，低、中、高层的电梯是分开的，目的是优化不同的用户，但为了提高效率，共享相同的竖井空间。通过EES系统，电梯可以在火灾期间使用，因为每层都有加压井和难民区。这两座容纳400辆汽车的机器人停车场对环境的影响很小，因为停车时没有排放有毒气体，而且空间不需要点亮或通风。为了减少对邻近街道的影响，地下停车场有第三个坡道，可以调整其方向：上午入口处和下午出口。

The building is designed to optimize the users flux within the building but also in relation to the city. Within the building, the elevators for Low, Mid, and High Rise are separate in order to optimize the different users but share the same shaft space for efficiency.  By an EEES System, elevators can be used during a fire due to pressurized shafts and refugee areas on each floor. The two robotic parking buildings for 400 cars have a low impact on the environment because no toxic fumes are emitted while parking and the space doesn’t need to be lit or ventilated. In order to have the least impact on neighboring streets, the underground parking has a third ramp that can adapt its direction: entrance in the morning and exit in the afternoon. 

它是二十世纪早期的一座房子，是它的一部分，在历史上受到保护。为了使建筑在经济上可行，房子被整合到主大厅，下面的空间被用于基础地下停车场和服务。

Forming part of the property is an early twentieth century house that is historically protected. In order for the building to be economically feasible, the house was integrated into the main lobby and the space beneath was used for the foundation underground parking, and services.

结果，房子被搬走了。加固的方法是加厚墙壁，并在下面浇上混凝土板，然后放在铁轨上，并在离原来位置18米的地方临时移动。在基础完成后，房子被退回到原来的位置，地下的水平被挖掘。旧的，受损的石灰石已经修复，目前正在租用零售空间。

As a result, the house was moved. It was reinforced by thickening its walls and pouring a concrete slab underneath it which was placed on top of rails and moved temporarily 18 meters away from its original position. After the foundation was completed, the house was returned to its original position, and the underground levels were dug. The old, damaged limestone has been restored and is currently rented for retail space.
