架构师提供的文本描述。水塔是超越其技术用途的基础设施，有助于塑造更大的景观。水塔建于20世纪的大部分时间，通常是通过简单的挤压或围绕中轴的轮廓旋转形成的切割部件。虽然这一概念通过唤起不断扩大的接受者而产生一个简单、合理的统治形象，但它源于一种逻辑，即所含液体优先于景观。这位客户希望抓住这个难得的时刻，建造一座新的水塔，创建一个项目，质疑水塔切割的数字，成为一个强大的
信号，同时也是规模可观的古林堡工业区的一个里程碑。

Text description provided by the architects. Water towers are infrastructures that transcend their technical purpose and help to shape the greater landscape. Water towers, built for the most part in the 20th century, are usually cut parts developed from a simple extrusion or the revolution of a profile around a central axis. Although this conception generates a simple,rational image of dominion by evoking a repeatedly enlarged recipient, it stems from a logic whereby the liquid contained takes precedence over the landscape. The client wanted seize this rare moment, the construction of a new water tower , to create a project that would the question the figure that water towers cut, be a strong
signal and also serve as a landmark for the sizeable Ghlin-Baudour industrial estate.

该项目是对水塔功能的直接响应，一个直径20米的圆形缸矗立在一个50米高的
平台上。平台的支撑结构由现场混凝土中的X形和V形组成。2000立方米的增值税并不代表结构的延续，而是建立在支撑之上的独立结构。因此，该平台提供了很大的灵活性，在任何未来的改造水塔。

The project serves as a direct response to the function of a water tower, a circular vat of 20m of diameter stands on a platform at a
 hight of 50m. The supporting structure of the platform is formed by an X and a V shape cast out of concrete on site. The 2000m3 vat does not represent a the continuation of the structure but rather an independent structure resting on a support. Hence the platform offers great flexibility in the event of any future reconversion of the water tower.

撤回的缸给头顶的音量一个优雅的透明，而夜光给漂浮的缸它的神秘的气氛。这座宏伟的建筑被脆弱的建筑所丰富，这在严格的工程领域是不寻常的。它塑造了一个动态的图形，可以通过各种具有挑战性的方式观察到附近运河和高速公路的使用者。

The withdrawn vat gives the overhead volume an elegant transparence while the night lights give the floating vat it’s aura of mystery. The imposing structure is enriched by a fragility that is unusual for the strict world of engineering. It casts a dynamic figure that can be observed in a variety of challenging ways by the users of the nearby canal and motorway.
