架构师提供的文本描述。梅里达市是人们对教育感兴趣的地方。它有许多不同的学术水平的机构，本科水平是最具吸引力的东南部和中部各州。在这些情况下，我们可以就外国学生的住屋问题提出一个答案。这个地方位于该州最有声望的大学的中心，与城市最重要的周边道路相连。

Text description provided by the architects. The city of Merida is a pole of interest in education. It has many institutions of various academic levels, with the undergraduate level being the most attractive among the southeast and central states. These circumstances allowed us to propose an answer to the problem of housing for foreign students. The site is at the center of the most prestigious universities in the state, connected by the most important peripheral roads of the city.

发展这一项目的一个原因(在城市中非常罕见)是为人们之间的社会、文化和学术交流创造空间，使他们能够建立公共关系，使他们有更好的专业发展。此外，还提供日常生活、体育、清洁、学习、娱乐等方面的必要服务。

One reason for the development of this project (very rare in the city) was the idea of creating a space for social, cultural, and academic exchange among the people, allowing them to create public relations that allow them to have a better professional development. This was in addition to the necessary services for daily life, sports, cleaning, study areas, recreation, etc.

这种刺激人际关系的因素促使我们提出了一个相互关联的庭院方案，其中包括公共活动、自习室、会议室、咖啡馆等。这些庭院的尺寸分别为30米、30米和12米，这使得居民能够感受到学生社区的氛围，而不是机构建设。这种配置还为项目中的每个房间提供了必要的自然光线和通风。

This factor of stimulating human relationships led us to propose a scheme of interconnected courtyards in which to conduct public activities, study rooms, meeting areas, cafes, etc. The scale of the courtyards with dimensions of 30m x 30m and 12m in height allows the resident to feel in a student community rather than an institutional building. This configuration also provides the natural light and ventilation necessary for each and every room in the project.

该项目从一开始就采用预制混凝土构件，由于其维护程度低，施工速度快，因此该项目需要6个月的时间才能建成，允许第一批学生入学的最长时间。

The project was conceived from the beginning with precast concrete elements, due to their low maintenance and the speed of the construction, so that the project took six months to build, the maximum time allowed for the admission of the first students.

这个项目是用L型建筑设计的，所以每个庭院都是由其中的两个建筑组成的，每个庭院都是开放的两个相对的角落，允许这些开放空间之间的连接，以及它们之间的交叉通风。图书的西侧和南面都有流通，腾出了北面和东边的房间。

The project is designed with L-shaped buildings, so that every courtyard is formed by two of these buildings, leaving open two opposite corners that allow the connection between these open spaces, and cross ventilation between them. The circulations are all on the western and southern sides of the volumes, freeing the north and east for the rooms.

成本和时间的需求决定了我们的战略，模块化建筑，由模块部分建造。对于包围体积的平面，我们提出了一个单一的预制混凝土单元的设计，允许内部空间中需要的开口，并产生了各种外观和最小的元素。

The cost and time requirements defined our strategy, modular buildings, constructed with modular parts. For the planes enclosing the volumes, we proposed a design with a single precast concrete element that allowed for openings as required in the interior spaces, and generated a variety of facades with minimal elements.

庭院的布局及其腾出空地的能力使我们得以为到达和离开该项目的人创建一个大型通道广场，作为通往该项目的道路的通道。

The configuration of courtyards and their capacity to free up open spaces allowed us to create a large access plaza for arrivals and departures from the project, which works as an access to the road that leads to it.

该提案允许我们创建一个低规模的住房开发项目，它不会对城市环境产生负面影响，但在城市中有一个重要但谨慎的存在，长方形的石料体积被设计成一个大型城市格，塑造梅里达市周边道路​的轮廓。

The proposal allowed us to create a low-scale housing development, which does not impact negatively on the urban environment and yet has an important but discreet presence in the city, rectangular stone volumes designed as a large urban lattice that shape the profile of the peripheral road​of the city of Mérida.
