该项目是一所社区学院的建筑，位于Ejercito大道上一片面积极小的地块上，名为Barrio Universitario de Santiago。建筑规范认为这是一个保护区，它允许一个高达20米高的连续建筑，100%占用该地块。

The project is a building for a community college, located in a plot with very little facade on Ejercito Avenue, in an area denominated Barrio Universitario de Santiago. The building code identifies this as a conservation area, and it allows a continuous building up to 20 meters high with 100% occupancy of the plot.

该委员会包括一座大楼，将容纳尽可能多的教室，并可在八个月内完成，其中包括技术项目、建筑和许可证。

The commission consisted of a building that would house as many classrooms as possible and that could be completed within eight months, with technical projects, construction and permits included.

意识到一座6层的教育性建筑是多么的不舒服，也意识到将自然光引入建筑内部是多么困难，我们设计了一个中央空间，它通过从东到西的大横梁，支撑着一个玻璃屋顶，整天反射光线并将光融入庭院。这个屋顶与横梁分开，产生了建筑物的自然通风，降低了空调费用。为了减轻教育性建筑的建筑高度问题，该建筑沿纵向部分被切割并抵消为半层。半层由俯瞰中央空间的坡道连接，使其更容易在建筑物中导航，并为项目的核心提供了巨大的生命力。为了在通道层创建一个除庭院以外的有趣的地方，并邀请学生占据整个建筑，坡道的尽头是屋顶上的一个观景台，创造了一个社区空间和树木，为该建筑创造了一个娱乐区。

Aware of how uncomfortable it is for an educational building to have 6 floors, and of the difficulty of bringing natural light into the interior of the building, we designed a central space that through large beams that run from east to west and which support a glass roof, reflect and incorporate light into the courtyard throughout the day. This roof is separated from the beams, generating a natural ventilation of the building, reducing air conditioning costs. To mitigate the problem of the building height for an educational building, the building was cut and offset into half levels along its longitudinal section. The half levels are connected by ramps that overlook the central space, making it much easier to navigate through the building and giving great life to the heart of the project. To create a place of interest other than the courtyard at the access level and to invite the students to occupy the entire building, the ramp ends in a viewing deck on the roof, creating a community space with trees to generate a recreation area for the building.

这块地块是一片空地，被用作停车场。它周围是世纪初的建筑物，有沉重的正面，其中简单的体积占主导地位，填补了空隙和阳台在不同的高度。由于这是一座当代建筑，我们试图尽可能地关注已经存在的东西。虽然该地区的建筑规范允许我们建造一栋较高的建筑物，但由于原有建筑物的空间性，我们不得不将四楼的立面向后调整，以重建现有建筑物的高度，使之与其中一座毗连建筑物的高度相吻合，从而保持客户所需的面积。

The plot was a vacant site and was being used as a parking lot. It is surrounded by early-century buildings with heavy facades where simple volumes predominate, the filled over the void and balconies at different heights. As this is a contemporary building, we tried to be as attentive as possible to what was already there. Although the building code in the area allowed us to build a taller building that the preexisting buildings, the spatiality of the street conditioned us to set back the facade in the fourth floor to reconstitute the height of the existing building, making it coincide with the height of one of the contiguous buildings and therefore keep the area required by the client.

最后，由于施工所需时间较短，我们决定以钢筋混凝土为基础的后张板建筑，大大缩短了混凝土的养护时间。正面覆盖着有机灰泥和混合颜料，类似于该地区原始建筑的灰泥。

Finally, due to the short time required for construction, we decided on a building based on reinforced concrete with post-tensioned slabs, which shortened significantly the curing times for the concrete. The facade is clad with organic stucco with incorporated pigment, similar to the stucco of the original buildings in the area.
