目前的任务是建造一座代表我国的建筑，同时讨论世博会的主题：水及其对环境的影响。

The task at hand was to raise a building that would represent our country while addressing the Expo theme: water and its environmental implications.

 Ground Floor Plan

唤起森林的空间，或水面上的一丛竹子，是该项目的基本想法。一方面，希望建立一种建筑机制，从能源逻辑和环境意识的角度来创造难以置信的可能性，这是未来萨拉戈萨国际博览会西班牙馆的一个基本和象征性的愿望。但另一方面，一个最吸引人的空间，无论是物质还是光，都会转移到建筑领域。森林正在变化的空间，充满暗示和细微之处，其中概念，如垂直和深度发挥关键作用。

Evoking the space of a forest, or of a cluster of bamboos on a surface of water, was the project’s underlying idea. On one hand was a desire to create a building mechanism that could create incredible possibilities from the point of view of energy logic and environmental awareness, an essential and symbolic aspiration for the future Spanish Pavilion at the International Exposition of Zaragoza. But on the other hand, one of the most attractive spaces one can possibly deal with, in terms of both matter and light, would be transferred to the field of architecture. Forests are changing spaces, full of hints and nuances, where concepts like verticality and depth play a key role.

自然的东西能被人工复制吗？在这种情况下，森林隐喻的几何强度对我们有利，而所建议的图像给了建议一个象征性的充电，这在一个展馆的情况下是必要的。隐喻性的暗示，其中的水是存在于所提及的景观，因此产生强烈和清晰。

Can something natural be artificially reproduced? In this case the geometric strength of the forest metaphor acts in our favor, and the image suggested gives the proposal a symbolic charge that is necessary in the case of a pavilion. The metaphorical allusion, in which water is present through the landscape referred to, therefore comes forth strong and clear.

指导和启发建造展馆的标准在某种程度上已经体现在项目本身中。适度材料的选择(兵马俑，软木…)这是为了使展馆成为手段和目的之间充分关系的正式表达的一部分，也是为了使展馆在一定程度上独立于世博会本身强加的直接经济环境。最终的结果是一种非常干燥的，类似于Meccano的建筑，它既保证了上述的独立性，也保证了更快的建设速度。

The criteria that have guided and inspired the construction of the pavilion were in a way already present in the project itself. The choice of modest materials (terracotta, cork…) was part of an endeavor to make the pavilion the built formal expression of an adequate relationship between means and ends, as well as an attempt to give the pavilion a certain degree of independence from the immediate economic context imposed by the Expo itself. The final result was a very dry, Meccano-like construction that guaranteed the aforementioned independence as well as faster construction.
