架构师提供的文本描述。对于线性时间和时间，‘时间’反对‘凯罗斯’，一个不明确和象征性的时间，不能衡量，除非他的性质。这座大楼想要在对话中安排两个明显不可调和的时期。由于非常古老的时期，建筑渴望‘永恒’的理念，通过一个空间和物质能够抵抗时间。伟大的寺庙和大教堂，完全由天然石头建成，继续与同时代共存。具体的建筑无疑代表了现代性的遗产，它们也恢复了这种象征性的永恒观念。

Text description provided by the architects. To the linear and chronological time ‘CHRONOS’ opposes ‘KAIROS’, an undefined and symbolic time which cannot be measured except by his quality. The building wants to put two apparently irreconcilable times in dialogue. Since the very ancient periods buildings aspire to the idea of the ‘eternal’ through a spatiality and materiality able to resist time. The great temples and cathedrals, completely made out of natural stone, continue to coexist with the contemporaneity. Concrete constructions represent undoubtedly the legacy of modernity and they recover as well this symbolic idea of eternity.

这种在短暂与永恒之间的对峙是值得研究的东西，从一般的角度来看，我们的时间可以提供给我们的可能性。这种预制件解决方案能够同时处理这两个方面，因为它允许我们通过模块化结构和易于组装或拆卸的方式，与耐久和耐久的材料对话一起工作。

This confront between the temporary and the eternal is something worth researching through a general view to the possibilities that our time can offer us. This prefab solution is capable to deal simultaneously with these two aspects as it allows us working with a durable and resistant material dialoguing with continuous Time, through a modular construction and an easy assembly or disassembly.

由若昂·奎尔卡和蒂姆·西蒙创造的凯罗斯，是历史上通过使用物质、光和时间进行的一项空间研究的结果。关于混凝土，太阳之光和时间的问题。这是一个比例的调查和小规模的孤立模块与整个建筑本身的大尺度与环境的关系。

KAIROS, created by João Quintela and Tim Simon, appears as a result of a spatially research referenced in history through the use of Matter, Light and Time. The Matter of the Concrete, the Light of the Sun and the Time built from both. It’s an investigation about proportions and the relationship between the small scale of the isolated module and the large scale of the whole building itself in relation with the context.

该空间是由一个非常简单和原始的结构体系的重叠和连接件，利用自己的重量，而不使用任何胶水或螺丝。这是一座方型建筑，里面有一个方形露台。因此，周围存在一个周界，它位于上下两层的路径中，产生了两个完全对立的空间。一个是覆盖和黑色，而另一个是外部和明亮。

The space is built by a very easy and primitive constructive system of overlapping and joining pieces, taking advantage of their own weight without using any glue or screws. It’s a square plan building with an inside square patio. Thus, there exists a perimeter all around that consists in a path developed both on the lower and upper level, generating two similar spaces with completely antagonistic ambiences. One is covered and black while the other is exterior and bright.

里面的天井是由镜子定义的，镜子通过里面的水来反射天空，复制空间。这成为中心要素，不可接近和沉思，能够冻结时间，建立一个亲密的时刻，与过去的对话。成为最重要的空间，并获得象征意义，因为他不可能征服。

The inner patio is defined by the mirror created through the water inside which reflects the sky and duplicates the space. This becomes the central element, inaccessible and contemplative, able to freeze time and build an intimate moment, a dialogue with the past. Becomes the most significant space and acquires symbolism due to his impossible conquer.
