架构师提供的文本描述。普雷蒙特哈雷-戴维森位于魁北克省。这个复杂的建筑面积接近8000平方米，里面有一个大型展厅，一个博物馆，里面有几件收藏品，还有一家大型修理店。该节目还包括一个主题餐厅和行政办公室。建筑部分包括建造一座标志性建筑，这是一个乡村地标。在工地的南端，这座建筑的顶端是一座被截断的塔楼，它的上部消失了，以便为普雷蒙特灯笼腾出空间。这盏灯笼现在可以在夜间被看到，就像灯塔一样-从高速公路和周边地区可以看到一个地标。

Text description provided by the architects. The Prémont Harley-Davidson is located in Québec. The complex measures nearly 8000 square metres and houses a large showroom, a museum that includes several collectors’ items, and a large repair shop. The program also includes a theme restaurant and administrative offices. The architectural part consisted of creating an iconic building, a landmark in the countryside. On the southern end of the site, the building culminates in a truncated tower, the upper part of which disappears in order to make room for the Prémont lantern which can now be seen at night like a lighthouse—a landmark visible from the highway and surrounding areas.

这座建筑位于La Capitale高速公路交叉皮埃尔-伯特兰大道的地方，这里的环境以市郊的通用建筑为标志。进入这一地区的道路设计时考虑到了汽车，建筑物被铺在僵化的、固定的、匿名的地块上。许多分布在农村的建筑物都是用小预算建造的。他们的设计是平庸的和最小的，没有考虑到他们建在什么地方。这种金属盒的积累创造了一个重复的景观，满足了眼前的需要，但没有长远的愿景。在这种情况下，普雷蒙特哈雷-戴维森大厦实现了自己的身份和设计适合网站和它的特点。

The building is located where La Capitale expressway crosses Pierre-Bertrand Boulevard, in an environment marked by the type of generic architecture found in city outskirts. Access to the sector was designed with cars in mind, and buildings are laid out on rigid, regular, anonymous plots of land. Many of the buildings dotting the countryside were built with small budgets. Their design is banal and minimal, with no thought for the place in which they were built. This accumulation of metal boxes creates a repetitive landscape that meets an immediate need but has no long-term vision. In this context, the Prémont Harley-Davidson building achieves distinction by having its own identity and a design appropriate to the site and its characteristics.

这座建筑的形状很简单，但充满活力。它的灵感来自哈雷-戴维森品牌，有一个优雅，流畅的形象，也体现了自由和独立的愿望，使自己超越惯例。建筑塑造了这种精神。

The building’s shape is simple, but dynamic. It is inspired by the Harley-Davidson brand and has an elegant, fluid image that also projects freedom and independence expressed by a desire to place itself beyond conventions. The architecture gives shape to this spirit.

尽管这一领域的大多数建筑都牢固地坐落在自己的土地上，但普雷蒙特·哈雷-戴维森大楼(PrémontHarley-Davidson)却是以“U”型向后转弯的乐队打开的；因此，它背对着高速公路，在另一边创建了一个受保护的院子。这一空间是一种小气候，使建筑周围的环境更具人情味，并提供了免受噪音、风和污染的保护。在离林荫大道最近的一边，一条绿色的大带子贯穿着大楼的长长，与周围铺好的路面形成了鲜明的对比。停车场朝后，与大楼平行。这使陈列室可以在前面的林荫大道上。

Although most of the buildings in this sector sit solidly on their lots, the Prémont Harley-Davidson building opens out in a band that turns back on itself in a “U” shape; thereby turning its back to the highway to create a protected yard on the other side. This space, a sort of microclimate, gives the building’s surroundings a more human scale and provides protection from noise, wind, and pollution. On the side nearest the boulevard, a large green band runs the long of the building and contrasts with the surrounding paved surfaces. The parking area is towards the back and parallel with the building. This allows the showroom to be in front on the boulevard.

根据一天中的不同时间，这座建筑的亮点之一是它的黑色铝制双层皮肤，它的作用就像一层戏剧般的面纱，白天在主建筑上形成了一种剪裁，晚上由于它的缺席而闪闪发光。在高速公路上，当汽车快速驶过时，烤架就会向外墙倾斜，这要归功于莫尔效应。构成信封的各层给行人带来了深度、不透明和光线的影响。金属皮是以逐渐显露内部的方式制成的。白天，金属烤架给人不透明的印象，并制造出阴影。这种材料使人想起邻近工业建筑物中使用的金属。晚上，皮肤过滤来自内部的光线，把大楼变成一个巨大的灯笼。通过大开口穿孔，面纱允许光线被过滤在里面，并创造了一个不同的阴影发挥。

Depending on the time of day, one of the building’s highlights is its double skin of black aluminum that acts like a theatrical veil, creating a cut-out on the main building by day and shining by its absence at night. From the highway, the grill lends movement to the façade thanks to the moiré effect when cars travel quickly by it. The layers that make up the envelope give the effect of depth, opaqueness, and light to pedestrians walking by. The metal skin is made in such a way that it gradually reveals the interior. During the day, the metal grill gives the impression of opaqueness and creates a play of shadows. This material brings to mind the metal used in the neighbouring industrial buildings. At night, the skin filters the light that comes from inside and transforms the building into an immense lantern. Perforated with large openings, the veil allows light to be filtered inside and creates a play of varying shadows.

这一方法既耐人寻味，又引人入胜。当你乘摩托车到达皮埃尔-伯特兰大道时，信封上有一个两层高的开口.像海报一样，这个窗口展示了几辆摩托车，并给出了参观的预感。皮肤沿着这个外观运行，上升和下降，让内部被看到，然后在入口上方的一座塔达到顶峰。

The approach is intriguing and inviting. When you arrive on a motorcycle, on Pierre-Bertrand Boulevard, the envelope frames a two-story high opening. Like a poster, this window displays a few motorcycles and gives a foretaste of the visit. The skin runs along this façade, rising and falling to let the interior be seen, then culminates in a tower above the entrance.

这座建筑的内部设计更像是博物馆的走道，而不是一家简单的商店。室内设计的目的是为游客创造一种体验。他们是通过空间绘制的序列，告诉了哈雷-戴维森公司的历史。正门位于塔下，标志着哈雷-戴维森世界的入口。一旦到了大厅，游客们就会淹没在从塔里出来的光线中。他们还可以看到支持它的结构。从这个地方起，一场开场白和灯光点缀在球场上，突出展示的物体，引导游客穿过不同的空间。

The inside of the building is designed more like a museum walkway than a simple store. The interior layout is designed to create an experience for visitors. They are drawn through the space following a sequence that tells the history of the Harley-Davidson company. The main entrance is located under the tower and marks the entrance to the world of Harley-Davidson. Once in the hall, visitors are submerged in the light that comes from the tower. They can also see the structure that supports it. From this spot, a play of openings and light dot the course, highlight the objects on display, and direct visitors through the various spaces.

不仅仅是一个信号建筑，普雷蒙特哈雷戴维森抓住了传奇摩托车品牌的精神，并赋予它的形状，同时创造了一个独特的建筑反应在这个通用的环境。

More than a signal building, Prémont Harley-Davidson captures the spirit of the legendary motorcycle brand and gives it shape, while creating a unique architectural response in this generic environment.
