架构师提供的文本描述。拱形软木展馆是为Amorim Isolamentos LDA建造的，目的是在2013年Concreta展示其软木建筑材料，Concreta是在波尔图Exponor举行的两年一度的建筑博览会。

Text description provided by the architects. The Vaulted Cork Pavillion was built for Amorim Isolamentos Lda., to demonstrate its cork building materials at Concreta 2013, a biennial building fair held at Exponor, Porto.

这一架构和研究项目由Pedro de Azambuja Varela、Maria Jo o de Oliveira和Emmanuel Novo开发，由Amorim Isolamentos LDA赞助。在学习数字建筑高级研究课程(CEAAD)时，这是ISCTE-IULisboa和FAUPorto的合资公司。所有的制造工作都是在VFABlab-IUL进行的，协调工作由Alexandra Paio教授和JoséPedro Sousa教授进行。

This architecture and research project was developed by Pedro de Azambuja Varela, Maria João de Oliveira and Emmanuel Novo, who were sponsored by Amorim Isolamentos Lda. while studying in the Digital Architecture Advanced Studies Course (CEAAD), a joint venture between ISCTE-IULisboa and FAUPorto. All the fabrication was carried out at VFABLAB-IUL, and the coordination was carried out by Professors Alexandra Paio and José Pedro Sousa.

这一建设一开始是对落实2012/2013年CEAAD中提出的概念和调查的挑战，所有这些概念都与扩大的软木凝聚有关，这些概念包括：单独使用软木塞的可能性、复合半透明软木材料以及辐射和声优化系统。所有这些概念都应在展馆内以连续变质化的形式形成共生关系。

This construction started out as challenge to materialize concepts and investigation developed within CEAAD 2012/2013, all related with expanded cork agglomerate. These concepts are: the possibility to span vaults with cork alone, a compound translucent cork material, and a system for radiation and acoustic optimization. All these concepts ought to be shown within the pavillion in a symbiotic relation formalized by the continuous and metamorphic shape.

建筑空间存在于内外空间的相互关系之中，促进了建筑周围的动态通量和循环。外面提供循环和休息的地方，人们可以在长凳或波浪状放松。里面是一个像隧道一样的空间，有一个连续的长凳和一个展览空间，在那里人们可以找到避风港，远离贸易博览会的刺耳的噪音和灯光。所有这一切都是正式的形状，从地板上生长，创造了地板和拱形屋顶之间的平稳过渡。

Architectonic space lies within an inter-relation between inner and outer space, promoting dynamic fluxes and circulation all around the construction. The outside provides circulation and rest areas, where people can relax in benches or wavy forms. The inside is a tunnel like space that has a continuous bench and an exhibition space, where people can find shelter from the trade fair harsh noise and lights. All this was formalized as a shape that grows from the floor creating a smooth transition between the floor and vaulted roof.

软木特性是空间概念形成的主要动力。地板和墙壁是光滑和柔软的，而且气味是非常独特的。在这个空间里，一个人有着置身于另一个环境中的感觉，这就是改变光线、声音、气味和触觉的效果。外部的草-表明在活屋顶上使用软木的可能性-创造了活植物和软木树皮的共生体。

Cork characteristics were a main driving force to the space conception. The floor and walls are smooth and soft, and the smell is very particular. Inside the space one has the feeling of being inside another environment, such is the effect of changing light, sound, smell and touch. The grass in the exterior - showing the possibility of using cork on living roofs - creates a symbiosis of living plants and cork bark.

在头脑风暴开始阶段之后，创建了一种算法来测试形状在一个参数级别上的不同变化，其中许多变量负责曲率和尺寸。一旦该形状达成一致，另一种算法就会自动创建在VFABlab上被数控切割的数百个独特块的几何形状。所有这些块都贴上了有意义的系统标签，从而简化了Amorim Isolamentos LDA的工作。组队一边拼装各式棋子。

After a starting phase of brainstorming, an algorithm was created to test different variations of the form in a parametric level, with many variables responsible for curvatures and dimensions. Once the shape was agreed upon, another algorithm was crafted to automatically create the geometry of the hundreds of unique blocks that were to be CNC cut at the VFABLAB. All the blocks were labelled with a meaningful system, easing the work of the Amorim Isolamentos Lda. team while assembling the various pieces.
