架构师提供的文本描述。游泳池被设计成一个治疗设施，供5至16岁的身体残疾儿童使用。这些设施向公众开放，但主要供La Esperanza学校的学生使用；因此，外部的黄绿色“verde Esperanza”颜色和主水池底部写着的“Esperanza”(“希望”)字样。这是波多黎各第一个此类结构。

Text description provided by the architects. The Pools are designed as a therapeutic facility for use by children with physical disabilities between the ages of 5 and 16 years. The facilities are open to the public but will be used primarily by students of La Esperanza School; thus the yellowish- green “verde esperanza” color of the exterior and the word “esperanza” (“hope”) written on the bottom of the main pool. This is the first structure of its kind in Puerto Rico.

该设计包括以下前提：

The design incorporates the following premises:

 Floor Plan

-该项目位于拉·埃斯佩兰萨学校附近的一个空置停车场。这个地点通过一条连接两个地点的行人通道连接游泳池和学校，这也有助于维持较低的预算，并为今后的项目扩展提供空间。

-The project is located in an empty parking lot adjacent to the La Esperanza School. This location provides a connection between the pools and the school by means of a pedestrian passage that connects the two sites.  This location also helped to maintain a low budget and provides space for a future expansion of the project.

-太空的主角是光明和天空。该项目最重要的意图之一是创造一个独特的空间，使自然光不断地改变内部的气氛；在用户和自然之间建立直接联系，并促进愈合过程。

-The protagonists of the space are the light and the sky. One of the most important intentions of the project was to create a unique space where natural light constantly transforms the atmosphere inside; creating a direct connection between the user and nature and facilitating the healing process.

-每个游泳池都被视为一个庭院；这是一个典型的波多黎各设计元素，植根于该岛的殖民和乡土建筑。从池子里看，天花板上有高高的圆柱形栏杆，形成了使用者和天球之间的直接关系。这一点很重要，因为孩子们在仰视的同时接受治疗。

-Every pool is treated as a courtyard; a prototypical Puerto Rican design element rooted in the colonial and vernacular architectures of the island. From within the pools the ceiling apertures with their tall cylindrical parapets frame the sky generating a direct relationship between users and the celestial sphere. This is important because children receive therapies while floating on their backs, looking upwards.

-设计的重点是增强用户的权能，突出和促进空间体验，而不是治疗空间所必需的临床要求，同时仍然满足通用设计的所有要求。这与其他同类项目的不同之处在于，这些项目往往侧重于高度可见的临床需求，如坡道和扶手，将用户体验放在第二位。

-The design focuses on empowering the user, highlighting and promoting the spatial experience rather than the clinical requirements necessary for a therapeutic space, while still meeting all the requirements of universal design. This differentiates this project from other projects of its kind which tend to focus on highly visible clinical requirements such as ramps and handrails, putting in second place the user experience.

-用于建筑的材料(由涂有结构灰浆的隔热泡沫芯组成的结构混凝土绝缘板)使空间保持在舒适的温度，而内倾设计阻碍外部分散，同时还允许充足的自然光。

-The material used for construction (a structural concrete insulated panel composed of a thermally insulating foam core coated with structural mortar) keeps the space at a comfortable temperature while the introverted design blocks exterior distractions while still allowing for ample natural light.

-该项目的圆柱形和曲线突出了空间的内向和宁静特征，为治疗的进行创造了一种放松和欢迎的气氛。一小股水流流入主水池，同时作为过滤系统的一部分，也产生一种微妙的飞溅声，创造出一种宁静、放松与和平的氛围。与明亮的外观相比，室内装饰主要是白色和中性的，与空间的平静治疗性质保持一致。

-The cylindrical shapes and curves of the project accentuate the introverted and tranquil character of the space creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for the therapies to occur. A small stream of water flowing into the main pool, while working as part of the filtration system, also generates a subtle splashing sound creating an atmosphere of tranquility, relaxation and peace.  In contrast to the bright exterior the interior finishes are predominantly white and neutral, keeping with the calming therapeutic nature of the space.
