架构师提供的文本描述。BokHouse是在Vivex社区社会项目的方法下开发的住宅，这是S-AR(一个设在墨西哥蒙特雷的协作建筑讲习班)的倡议，其目的是将建筑及其设计过程、规划和社会工作带给贫困家庭、边缘化社区，或为提供社会支持的机构提供基本基础设施。

Text description provided by the architects. Box House is a dwelling developed under the methodology of the social project Vivex Community, an initiative of S-AR (a collaborative architecture workshop based in Monterrey, Mexico), whose purpose is to bring architecture and its design processes, planning and social work to poor families, marginalized communities, or to provide basic infrastructure to institutions that provide social support.

该项目旨在为中低收入市场创造一种具有竞争力和可行性的住房类型。

This project aims to generate a typology of competitive and feasible housing for a low and medium income market.

 Planta Baja

普兰塔巴哈

这一地产是在郊区的一块地块中提出的，面积为标准面积，属于地方政府(蒙特雷大都会区)和许多在城市经营的住房开发商通常建造的分区，即大约7米宽x15米长的地块。

This property is proposed in a suburban plot with an area of standard dimensions, in the subdivisions commonly made by the local government (Monterrey Metropolitan Area) and many of the housing developers operating in the city, that is, lots approximately 7 m wide x 15 m long.

作为一项社会建筑工程，建筑方法寻求未来用户的积极参与。户主是一名建筑工人，产生了对该项目的根源、责任和承诺。

As a project of social architecture, the construction method seeks the active participation of future users. The head of the family is a construction worker, generating roots, responsibility and commitment to the project.

Vivex社区所支持的家庭是户主或其他成员是建筑工人的家庭，这是为了便于了解和执行该项目。此外，从事这项工作的人经常为他人建造自己的居住房屋，自相矛盾的是，他们往往没有自己的房子，不得不付房租。很多时候，他们的租金没有足够的空间、照明、通风和清洁条件。

The families that Vivex Community is supporting are families whose heads or other members are construction workers, this in order to facilitate the understanding and execution of the project. Also, people engaged in this work regularly make their living building houses for others, paradoxically often have no house of their own, and have to pay rent. Many times their rent has inadequate conditions of space, lighting, ventilation and cleanliness.

由于建筑项目、雇主或公司不断变化，这一部门也很脆弱，因为施工项目、雇主或公司不断变化，这无助于它们产生稳定的储蓄或有资格从政府那里获得要求受益人信贷的官方住房方案。

This sector is also vulnerable because of the instability of the work, as the construction projects, employers or companies constantly change, and that does not help them generate steady savings or qualify for official housing programs from the government that demand credit from the beneficiaries.

社区和参与性方法是如何运作的？Vivex社区通过赞助公司和个人提供建筑材料的供应和管理，以及向房屋设计师提供技术援助，在这种情况下是S-AR。

How does the community and participatory methodology work? Vivex Community provides the supply and management of construction materials through sponsorships with companies and individuals, as well as technical assistance with the designers of the house, in this case S-AR.

受益家庭拥有自己的土地，每周都与同事、朋友和家人一起带来劳动力，这大大降低了住房成本，并在家庭中产生了团队合作的价值。建构过程本身就是一个学习过程和价值观的同化过程。同样地，当他们用自己的手工资源建造房子时，家庭会学到新的技能，将来可以用来做其他有报酬的工作。

The beneficiary family, which has its own land, brings labor every week, along with coworkers, friends and family, which significantly reduces the cost of housing and generates the value of teamwork in the family. The construction process itself is a learning process and an assimilation of values. Likewise, when building the house with their own manual resources, the family learns new skills that they can use for other paid jobs in the future.

我们每周都会与所有参与的人会面，从住宅的设计过程到建筑，以及现场监督。

We meet weekly with everyone involved, from the design process of the dwelling to its construction, as well as site supervision.

这一进程的目的是支持贫困家庭，就像Jesús Galván的家庭(受益家庭的户主)一样，使他们能够拥有自己的房子，这将给他的家庭带来亲密的空间和未来发展的空间，以实现健康和教育等其他基本目标。

The aim of this process is to support poor families, as is the case of Jesús Galván's family (head of a beneficiary family), so that they can have their own house, which will bring a space of intimacy and a place for his family to develop in the future, towards other basic aims like health and education.

Jesús Galván是一名建筑工人(俗称石匠)，32岁。他的家人包括他和他的伴侣Norma Alicia、他的长子Jesús Alejandro和小女儿Yareli Guadalupe和Kelli Yojana。多年来，他们一直住在一位熟人的家里，在楼上租了一间单独的房间。

Jesús Galván is a construction worker (commonly called masons), 32 years old. His family consists of him and his partner Norma Alicia, his eldest son Jesús Alejandro and small daughters Yareli Guadalupe and Kelli Yojana. For years they have lived renting a separate room upstairs in the house of an acquaintance.

两年前，由于他的工作，他开始在蒙特雷大都市区郊外的祖祖阿社区购买土地，在那里他经常做建筑工人。他还在付那块地的钱，但正在慢慢地到达那里。

Thanks to his work, a little over two years ago he began to buy land in the community of Zuazua, on the outskirts of the metropolitan area of Monterrey, where he regularly works as a builder. He is still paying for the land, but is slowly getting there.

费用/时间。这所房子在赞助材料和做工方面的总成本为15万墨西哥比索，其中只有一个不是由受益人直接制造的，因为他可以提供房屋的建筑服务和木制品，从而使他获得了专业增长。这是唯一不是由受益人直接制作的物品。这包括基础、结构、墙壁、石板、电气和水管、木工、铁匠、玻璃、人行道、室内石膏板、油漆和防水两层110平方米的房屋，甚至还有一种增长的选择。

Cost / Time. The total cost of the house in sponsored materials and workmanship for basic blacksmithing and glass installation (the only items that were not made directly by the beneficiary, as with counseling he could perform the building services and woodwork of the house, which has generated a professional growth for him) was 150,000 Mexican pesos, about 11,600 US dollars. This includes the foundation, structure, walls, slabs, electrical and plumbing, carpentry, blacksmithing, glass, sidewalk, interior plaster slabs, painting and waterproofing of a house with two levels of 110 m2, and even an option for growth.

这类工程的施工时间比一般工程要长，因为劳动取决于受益人家庭的时间投资，他们通常每周只能花一到两天的时间来建造他们的住房，以便继续他们的正常活动和长期工作。时间也受捐赠物资或收到的资源流动的影响。

The construction time for this type of project is longer than a common project because labor depends on the time investment of the beneficiary family, which usually can only spend one or two days a week on the construction of their home, to continue with their normal activities and permanent work. Times are also influenced by the flow of donations of materials or resources received.

项目。这所房子被定义为一个盒子，里面依次装着其他的盒子。第一个盒子被放置在场地的中央，留下一大片未建的土地，形成一个可以给房子带来自然光和通风的侧院子。同样，这一自由空间也产生了一个空间，可以扩大室内社会活动的范围，而这些活动是在房子的一楼进行的。一个房间留在一楼，现在由长子使用，并在未来的父母，当他们长大。

Project. The house is defined as a box containing in turn other boxes. The first box is placed in the middle of the site, leaving a huge swath unbuilt land to generate a side yard that allows bringing natural light and ventilation to the house. Similarly this free space generates a space for a possible expansion of internal social activities, which are on the first floor of the house. A room is left on the ground floor, now used by the eldest son and in the future for the parents when they get older.

一楼盒子里的免费空间是餐厅、客厅和通道。客厅和厨房里的家具可以是临时的，因为它们可以存放在楼梯下面的自由空间里。这为一楼的商业或生产用途提供了灵活性。

In free space in the box on the first floor are the dining, living room and access. The furniture in the living room and kitchen can be temporary, as they can be stored within the free spaces under the staircase. This allows flexibility for the on the first floor, for commercial or productive uses.

放置在房子一端的一个侧箱包括水管、电气和楼梯。

A side box placed at one end of the house contains plumbing, electrical, and the stairs.

私人区域布置在第二层，有起居室和两间卧室。这一层的一侧有一个由独立的门组成的围护室，可以调节房间的隐私、照明和通风，而在较低的水平上则是一个与侧院子相连的更开放的围护结构。

The private area is laid out on the second level, with living room and two bedrooms. One side of this level has an enclosure composed of independent doors that can regulate privacy, lighting and ventilation of the rooms, as opposed to a more open enclosure on the lower level that is linked to the side yard.

整个房子是用混凝土砌块建造的，没有重叠，所以它是加固的，并且是较轻的钢筋混凝土板。墙壁是由木条上的胶合板和玻璃框架制成的。该房屋设计为永久性住房，处于适宜居住阶段，易于改进，并随后由用户进行调整。

The whole house is built with concrete blocks placed without overlap, so it is reinforced, and lighter reinforced concrete slabs. The walls are made of plywood and glass frames on wooden bars. The house is designed as permanent housing, in a habitable stage, with ease improvement and subsequent adjustments by users.
