架构师提供的文本描述。监狱是一个令人不舒服的机构，监狱的结构往往受制于技术官僚的标准。这种奴役迫使监狱脱离其所属的社会文化领域，从而使其从公共话语中抹去。监狱作为一个机构的隐蔽性表明了当代社会尚未解决的矛盾。我们打算通过建筑来探讨这一矛盾。监狱必须同时满足纪律(监禁)和自由(重新安插)的要求。在这个复杂的框架内，建筑可以利用它的能力，综合表达看似矛盾的问题，成为解决当代监狱悖论的积极因素。根据我们在Mas d‘Enric监狱的经验，我们声称监狱是关键设计的对象，我们要求建筑在增加可能性方面所起的作用，而不是限制它们。

Text description provided by the architects. The prison is an uncomfortable institution and its architecture is often subjugated to technocratic criteria. This servility forces the prison out of the sociocultural realm where it belongs, thus erasing it from public discourse. The invisibility of the penitentiary as an institution demonstrates an unresolved contradiction underlying contemporary society. We intend to explore this contradiction through architecture. A prison must respond to the demand for discipline (confinement) and liberty (reinsertion) at the same time. Within this complex framework, architecture can make use of its ability to synthetically articulate problems that seem contradictory to become an active agent in resolving the paradox of the contemporary penitentiary. Based on our experience with the Mas d’Enric penitentiary, we claim the prison as an object of critical design and we reclaim architecture’s role in multiplying possibilities as opposed to limiting them.

考虑到非常严格的程序要求，一系列决定在功利主义和概念性之间建立了联系：建立一个适当的、非压迫性的环境；引入最大数量的外部媒介；以及在形式上和概念上都是核心的开放空间的产生。

Given very strict programmatic requirements, a series of decisions forges a link between the utilitarian and the conceptual: the construction of an appropriable, non-oppressive environment; the introduction of a maximum number of vectors of exteriority; and the generation of open space that is central both formally and conceptually.

三个关键方面贯穿于整个设计过程中，并作为表达项目的概念视野：总体：解决设计总体环境的问题。振动：引入空间和知觉的多样性开放：在拘留中心庆祝开放。

Three keys aspects permeate the entire design process and serve as the conceptual horizons that articulate the project: Totality: Tackling the problem of designing a total environment. Vibration: Introducing spatial and perceptual diversity Openness: Celebrating openness in the heart of detention.

类型设计和拓扑设计策略都是Mas d‘Enric监狱项目的核心。类型学：我们的目标是超越传统的现代监狱建筑，创建一个经过修订的席子建筑：监狱的规划范围很广，地势很低。相邻消除了建筑物之间的剩余空间。它还允许组织的灵活性，同时在不同的尺度上以庭院的形式生成外部空间。

Both typological and topological design strategies are central to the Mas d’Enric Penitentiary project. Typological: We aimed to move beyond conventional modern prison architecture by creating a revised mat-building: the prison is extensive in plan and low to the ground. Contiguity eliminates residual spaces between buildings. It also allows for organizational flexibility while generating exterior spaces in the form of courtyards on different scales.

拓扑：地形适应允许与地形的温和整合。它创造空间多样性，同时允许没有任何类型的室内围栏。由于地面的清晰度，远望山成为可能。邻近林地的景观改善了牢房和庭院的条件。

Topological: The topographical adaptation allows for a gentle integration with the terrain. It creates spatial variety while allowing for the absence of any kind of interior fencing. Distant views of the mountains are made possible by an articulation of the ground level. Views of the adjacent woodlands improve conditions in both the cells and the courtyards.

屋顶的连续性在类型和拓扑两方面都有作用，为建筑创造了形态统一，并与景观的大尺度建立了关系。该计划所要求的监禁并不是一件大事；相反，监狱的建筑面临着创造一个真正的家和壁炉的挑战，也许是不可能的。

The continuity of the roof works on both a typological and topological level, creating morphological unity for the building and establishing relationships with the large scale of the landscape. The confinement required by the program is not monumentalized; on the contrary, the prison’s architecture faces up to the, perhaps impossible, challenge of creating a genuine home and hearth.
