我们感谢意大利卡尔维诺的“下一个千年的六份备忘录”中所描述的轻盈、准确、可见度和多重性。

We are indebted to the Lightness, the Exactitude, the Visibility, and the Multiplicity described in Italo Calvino’s, “The Six Memos for the Next Millennium”.

 […the casual architecture of the ‘El Caspolino’ fair converted it into a place which opened to its surroundings, a natural continuation of the street or plaza, so contrary to the many cultural centers which are closed and impermeable to the outside…El País newspaper, March 22, 2005]

巴塞罗那加泰罗尼亚经济学家研究所的新总部占地面积380平方米(1 247平方英尺)，面积32米(105英尺)。加勒·拉普莱奇迪亚广场远端的街道正面，毗邻奥古斯塔。一旦广场的城市改造完成，该地点将俯瞰145×45米的行人空间和树木，并将与前面提到的街道接壤。这个地块从20世纪40年代起就与“El Caspolino”博览会的吸引人一起被占据，位于巴塞罗那上区GràCIA和Sarrià-Sant Gervasi社区之间的交界处(GràCIA和SarriàSant Gervasi之间)。

The new headquarters of the Catalan Institute of Economists of Barcelona occupies a narrow site with 380 m² (1,247 ft²) of surface area and 32 meters (105 ft.) of street frontage at the far end of the Plaza Gal·la Placídia adjacent to Via Augusta. Once the urban reformation of the plaza is completed, the site will overlook a pedestrian space of 145 x 45 meters with trees, and will be bordered by the formerly mentioned street. The parcel, which was occupied since the 1940’s with the attractions of the ‘El Caspolino’ fair, is situated at the border between the neighborhoods of Gràcia and Sarrià-Sant Gervasi in the upper zone of the city of Barcelona.

加泰罗尼亚经济学家学院新总部的设计是以开放和享受建筑为基础的。这样做的目的是让城市开放。

The design of the new headquarters of the Catalan Institute of Economists is based on the action of opening and enjoying the architecture. The idea is to make the city open.

我们设计的这座建筑，从一开始就有能力成为这座城市的一部分。这就是我们所说的“垂直正方形”。什么叫建筑垂直广场？

The building we have designed, since its beginnings, has had the capacity to be a piece of the city. It is what we call a “vertical square”. What does calling a building a vertical square mean?

这意味着经济学家们从这里向下看广场，广场上的行人也仰望着他们。这意味着，每一层楼，就像一座画廊一样，在立面上都有一个门厅，让所有到总部工作的人都能欣赏到广场的景色和南方的阳光。垂直广场不仅是一个社交场所，也是一个让它所在的机构更具活力的机会。

It means that from here the economists look down onto the square, and the pedestrians of the square look up to them. It means that each floor, like a gallery, has a foyer on the façade so that all who arrive and work at the headquarters enjoy the views and the southern sunlight of the square. The vertical square is not only a place to socialize; it is also an opportunity to give visibilityto the institution that it houses.

前厅空间，除了是社会中心的建筑，也是一个气候缓冲器，利用传统的画廊的建筑巴塞罗那。

The vestibule space, in addition to being the social heart of the building, is also a climatic buffer which uses the tradition of the galleries of the architecture of Barcelona.
