架构师提供的文本描述。该项目是一座多用途的学术大楼，委员会是由哥伦比亚北巴兰基拉大学举办的一次私人竞赛的结果。这个加勒比城市位于大西洋和马格达莱纳河之间。平均温度为28摄氏度，相对湿度为80%；这意味着项目的热效率和控制面临挑战。

Text description provided by the architects. The project is a multipurpose academic building which commission was the result of a private competition held by the Universidad del Norte de Barranquilla in Colombia. This Caribbean city is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Magdalena River. The average temperature is 28ºc and the relative humidity is of 80%; this implies a challenge for the project’s thermal efficiency and control.

该建筑的实施承认并重视一系列符合校园环境的庭院，并将通道庭院中的主要人流纳入现有植被，并作为公共通道层，开展集体休闲和娱乐活动，促进学术界的相互作用。

The implementation of the building acknowledges and values the series of patios that conform the campus and takes the main pedestrian flows in an access patio that incorporates the existing vegetation and behaves as a public access level with collective activities for leisure and recreation that promotes the interactions of the academic community.

 Floor Plan

该项目占地11.220平方米，由考古学博物馆、工程和计算机实验室、研究生和本科生教室、2个礼堂和办公室组成。它的楼层是开放和灵活的服务核心，技术设施和垂直流通。建立了人员流动和技术网络分布的系统电路。

With 11.220 m2, the project has a mixed academic program that consists of an archeology museum, engineering and computer laboratories, graduate and undergraduate school classrooms, 2 auditoriums and offices. Its floors are open and flexible with a service core, technical facilities and vertical circulations. The movement of people and technical network distribution are established as systematic circuits.

该建筑的双层皮肤是一个太阳能保护系统，预制板，支持生长的植被和玻璃板。同时，这是一种气候舒适的装置；一种自然光滤光器，它在改善视觉人体工程学的同时，还可以享受景观，并大大降低空调的耗电量。

The building’s double skin is a solar protection system with prefabricated lattices, supports for growing vegetation and glass panels. At the same time, this serves as a device for climatic comfort; a natural light filter that improves visual ergonomics while allowing to enjoy the landscape and achieving a considerable electricity consumption reduction in air conditioning.

该项目的美学表达是建立在加勒比建筑的气候考虑之上的。通过双面建筑的构成，提出了乡土建筑的手工传统与自然财富和港口日益增长的工业活动相协调。

The aesthetic expression of the project is constructed upon climatic considerations on the Caribbean architecture. By means of the constitution of the double skin we propose the conciliation of the artisanal tradition of vernacular architecture with the natural wealth and the increasing industrial activity of the port.

作为一座教育性建筑，该项目通过使建筑的技术系统为学生提供学习，增强了建筑学的教学劳动。通过对废水的分离和处理，使饮用水减少58%，将建筑物建成一个开放的实验室。

As an educational building, the project enhances the pedagogical labor of architecture by making visible the building’s technical systems for the learning of the students. Achievements are communicated and shown, such as the reduction of potable water in 58% by means of separation and treatment of wastewater, among others, turning the building into an open laboratory.
