架构师提供的文本描述。在位于巴拿马城最重要的城市中心之一的一小块土地上，这个项目是一个重大的设计挑战。它位于以色列大道之间的拐角处。

Text description provided by the architects. Program The project was a major design challenge in a small plot of land, located in one of the most important urban centers of Panama City. It is located on the corner between Israel Avenue & 72th Street, San Francisco. Besides having a minimum commercial space to work with, the field is surrounded by two large walls in the rear boundaries. These walls are the basis of a large building that seems to isolate the ground. To address these conditions, the solution was to Attach The Project to the surrounding walls in order to get the maximum amount of commercial and open space in the front, to achieve a visually cornered structure.

 Floor Plan

设计策略该项目被定义为一个盒子角，由4个商业空间(每层2层)组成。两个后立面与现有建筑相连，前角由两种建筑元素组成：一楼廊和上面装有三角玻璃实验系统的盒子。我们的想法是，在每个项目中，无论遇到什么困难，都有可能有一个实验方法：项目内的一个项目。在这个过程中，我们开发了一个系统，由一个单一的图形，重复和旋转，以创造一个连续的有机玻璃墙。

Design Strategy The project is defined as a Box Corner, of 4 commercial spaces (2 floors each). The two rear facades are attached to the existing building, and the front corner consists of two architectural elements: The ground floor gallery and the upper box containing a Triangulated Glass experimental system. The idea is to show that in every project, no matter the difficulties, it’s possible to have an experimental approach: A Project within a Project.
In this process we developed a System From a Single Figure, repeated and rotated to create a continuous and organic glass wall.

背景一幅宏伟的发光标志的请愿书，旨在抵消场址对下一家酒店的商业劣势，这是一个机会，可以将第二元素转化为与历史和背景的联系。项目前面的
位于Don Bosco教堂和Don Bosco学校，它们的正面被石头覆盖的单体所破坏，这似乎决定了建筑物的体积平衡。参考这一有趣的资源，在商业标志上竖立了一个比例相等的石碑，其投影范围与停车场中心的材料相同。

Context The petition of a grand luminous sign to counteract the commercial disadvantage of the site towards the nextdoor hotel, served as an opportunity to turn a secondary element into a connection with both history and context.
In front of the project are located the don bosco church and the don bosco school, their facades being caracterized by stone covered monoliths that appear to define the volumetric balance of the buildings. Making a reference to this interesting resource, a stone monolith of equal proportions is erected for the commercial signs, following a projection that extends with the same material as the center of the parking lot does.

概念原型是基于两个相邻的三角形，其相反的角向内倾斜。这种几何确保每个模块可以旋转和线性地连接在一起，形成一个连续的和无限的表面。这种基于单一形式的系统可用于公共空间、公园和广场。在低预算项目中，可以制造模具，在城市工程中产生作为挡土墙和桥梁的创新表面。我们对新架构的愿景是，每个架构师在各自的项目中开发一个实验性的设计过程和研究：包含其他想法的想法，以重复创建创新系统和新技术的努力。

Concept The prototype is based on two adjacent triangles whose opposite corners are tilted inwards. This geometry ensures that each module can be rotated and linearly attached to each other, forming a continuous and infinite surface. this system, based on a single form can be produced for public spaces, parks and plazas. In low budget projects, molds could be created to generate innovative surfaces in urban works as retaining walls and bridges. Our vision of a new architecture is that each architect develops an experimental design process and research in each of their projects: ideas containing other ideas, to duplicate efforts on creating innovative systems and new technologies.
