架构师提供的文本描述。Culiacan植物园是由工程师CarlosMurillo在30多年前创建的。6年前，管理这座位于市中心的植物园的董事会主席决定将其作为当地和国际社会的一个参考点。因此，六年前开始了一个雄心勃勃的项目，除了加强花园收藏之外，还包括安装35件艺术品和一套15座小型展馆，为花园及其新的艺术项目提供服务。在植物学上，该项目的目的是维持其全球收藏，并以具有高生物和民族植物学价值的物种丰富它。该园旨在成为墨西哥西北部植物区系保护和研究的参考机构，特别是具有一定保护地位和较高民族植物学价值的植物群。为了突出其生态特性，环境业务工作室(TOA)应邀开展了一项环境和景观项目。迄今为止所进行的植物干预使该花园成为全国范围内两种植物的主要收藏者：棕榈和竹子，几年后它将成为世界领先者。

Text description provided by the architects. The Culiacan Botanical Garden was created by the engineer Carlos Murillo over 30 years ago. 6 years ago, the president of the board that manages this botanical garden in the middle of the city, decided to make it a point of reference both for the local and international community. Thus, six years ago began an ambitious project that beyond strengthening the garden’s collection, includes the installation of 35 works of art and a set of 15 small pavilions that will provide services to the garden and its new art program. Botanically, the aim of the project is to maintain its global collection and enrich it with species of high biological and ethnobotanical value. The garden seeks to become an institution of reference in terms of conservation and research of flora from northwest Mexico, especially flora with a certain conservation status and high ethnobotanical value. To highlight its ecological character, the Environmental Operations Studio (TOA) was invited to make an environmental and landscape project. The botanical intervention carried out to date has positioned the garden as the main collector nationwide of two species: palms and bamboos, and in a few years will make it into a world leader.

在这个自然保护区，策展人帕特里克查彭内尔创造了一个艺术项目，涉及35位最重要的当代不同民族的艺术家。该项目追求为花园开发能增强游客活力的具体作品的想法，产生了一种不同的艺术体验，一种具有这类表达方式的正面方式，从根本上改变了Culiacan社会欣赏当代艺术的方式。塔蒂亚纳毕尔巴鄂办公室负责协调自然与建筑秩序。它的路径和公共服务结构的轨迹是为了避开几乎无政府的自然增长。华南针树给了我们设计新路径的方案。我们设计了16个小结构，有一个多样化的程序。这些建筑物分为六套，为实用目的，我们称之为：南方通道、露天礼堂、文化服务、温室、教育服务、居家和北方通道。

On this natural sanctuary, the curator Patrick Charpenel generated an art project involving 35 of the most important contemporary artists of different nationalities. Pursuing the idea of developing specific works for the garden that reinforce the dynamics of visitors, the project generates a different artistic experience, a frontal approach with these types of expressions, which is radically changing the way that Culiacan society admires contemporary art. The office of Tatiana Bilbao is in charge of reconciling nature with architectural order. The trace of its paths and its structures of public service were done in a way to elude the almost anarchic growth of nature. The Huanacaxtle tree gave us the scheme that was chosen to design the new paths. We designed 16 small structures with a diverse program. These buildings are laid out in six sets, which for practical purposes, we call: Southern Access, Open Auditorium, Cultural Services, Greenhouse, Educational Services, Curatorial, and Northern Access.

教育服务集，现场完成，包括三个建筑物：厕所，多用途礼堂和教室。这些建筑物是作为景观的一部分而设计的，这些建筑可以通过其构造形状与自然相联系，并由裸露的混凝土建造。随着时间的推移，它们对水分的反应会变绿。外露混凝土是一种不需要进一步加工，可达到较高视觉质量的表面处理材料，具有维修量小、使用寿命长、保温性能好等优点。在这种情况下，由于使用骨料，裸露混凝土具有防水的特点，使我们可以用同样的材料建造楼板。在该项目中强调的实施做法是，由于设计角度的困难，模板的制作过程，以及振动混凝土和确保其结构的方法。

The Educational Services set, finished on site, consists of three buildings: restrooms, multipurpose auditorium, and classroom. The structures were designed as part of the landscape, buildings that could relate to nature through their tectonic shape and built of exposed concrete. They will turn green as they react to moisture over time. Exposed concrete, besides being a finish that does not require any further processing and which can achieve a high visual quality, has the advantage of requiring very little maintenance, it has a long life, and has thermal qualities. In this case, due to the aggregates used, the exposed concrete has a waterproof feature which allowed us to build the roof slab in the same material. Implementing practices highlighted in this project were the processes of formwork due to the difficulty of the design angles, as well as methodologies for vibrating the concrete and ensuring its texture.

开放礼堂是第二套建筑，是由三面墙组成的空间，里面有一个室外屏蔽区。为了设计墙壁的布局和屏幕的位置，我们对地板和墙壁上的阴影进行了分析。我们把这个空间设想成一个室外礼堂，周围的树木都有天然的树荫。它位于植物园的南面，通过7分钟的视频向用户介绍。它有一个入口大厅，也是一个广场，组织团体使用该建筑物。植物园是一个公共空间，是一个开放的博物馆，使用者可以不受任何限制地直接接触这些作品和建筑物。进行体育活动，这是为公众拍摄照片和特别活动的场所。目前，这个花园每月有3万多人参观，是这个城市的主要景点之一。这座花园已经成为Culiacan的一个标志，它是一个参照点，也是重新组合身份和社会结构所需要的空间。

The Open Auditorium, the second built set, is a space formed by three walls that contain an outdoor screening area. To design the layout of the walls and the location of the screen, we did an analysis of shadows on floor and walls. We conceived this space as an outdoor auditorium which has natural shade from the surrounding trees. It is located on the southern access of the Botanical Garden, in order to give users an introduction through a 7-minute video. It has an entrance hall that also serves as a plaza to organize groups using the building. The Botanical Garden is a public space, as an open museum, where users have direct contact with the pieces and the buildings without any restriction. Physical activities are performed, and it is the scene for photographs and special events for the public. Currently, the garden is visited by over 30,000 people a month, and it is one of the main attractions of the city. The garden has become an icon in Culiacan, a point of reference, and the space that was needed for the recomposition of identity and social fabric.
