架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑位于这片土地上的原因是之前对220，000平方米土地进行的一项城市研究，该地块希望将其总部和所有地理上分散的支助服务集中起来。新的空间还将包括若干其他社会、娱乐和文化设施，并应侧重于与自然的关系和参与，这是该公司活动的基础概念。

Text description provided by the architects. The siting of the building on the land results from a previous urban study for a 220,000m2 plot of land where Agros wished to concentrate its headquarters and all its geographically dispersed support services.The new space would also contain a number of other social, recreational and cultural facilities, and should focus on the relationship and involvement with nature, a concept that underlies the company's activity.

该公司总部所需的能见度表明，一个地点尽可能靠近A28高速公路，该高速公路与东部陆地接壤，从而完成了作为周界构造道路而创建的主轴。

The visibility that was required for the Company’s Headquarters pointed to a location as close as possible to the A28 motorway which borders the land to the east, completing, in turn, the main axis that was created as a structuring road for the perimeter.

虽然我们的客户希望强调农业协会UCRL作为合作社联盟的力量和代表性，该联盟在过去60年中稳步发展，努力发展葡萄牙农业，并以一座塔为标志，设立了一个新的总部，但该地点的市政总体规划确定了地面和第一层的界限。对我们来说，这座建筑应该反映出这家公司的需求水平、严谨程度和现代化程度，这在某种程度上让我们感到惊讶，因为它的特点是使用尖端技术来支持牛奶生产。它给我们带来了巨大的挑战，我们想以建筑设计作为回应，而建筑设计也以其结构的大胆性而闻名，这对工程设计团队提出了更大的挑战，他们在整个过程中以坚持不懈和技术能力支持我们。为了规避城市规划对其高度的限制，我们建议将这座建筑解读为一座“平卧塔”，但不放弃具有这些特征的建筑物的重要性和象征意义。这座建筑的定义是一个纯平行的两层建筑的长度，其纵向优势突出了这一点，它的8米悬空、东面的长度以及围绕着它的绿色空间的部分悬空，更加突显了这一点。这座3200平方米的建筑“轻轻地”停在构成停车场的西/南的一个基地上，远离地面，被大自然的绿色植物所环绕和穿越，只停留在模拟一根大柱子的紧急楼梯上。

While our client wanted to stress the strength and representativeness of Agros UCRL as a union of cooperatives that has steadily grown over the past 60 years, striving towards the development of Portuguese agriculture, with a new headquarters symbolised by a tower, the Municipal Master Plan for the site defined the limit of the ground and first storeys. For us, the building should be a reflection of the levels of demand, rigour and modernity of this company which somehow surprised us, as it is characterised by the use of cutting edge technologies to support its milk production. It presented us with a great challenge, and we wanted to respond with a building design that would also be notable for its structural boldness, and this posed an even greater challenge for the engineering design team that supported us throughout the process with persistence and technical competence. As a way to circumvent the urban planning constraints on its height, we proposed that the building was read as a "recumbent tower" but without relinquishing the importance and symbolism that a building of these characteristics presupposed.  The building is defined by the length of a pure parallelepiped two-storey mass, highlighted by its longitudinal dominance, accentuated by its 8m overhang the length of the east façade and by its partial suspension over the green space that surrounds it. This 3,200m2 building "rests" lightly on a base at the west/south, which forms the car park, and is clear of the ground, remaining surrounded and traversed by nature’s greenery and only resting on an emergency staircase that simulates a large pil

入口是集中的，服务于一个大坡道，通往入口的标志是一个大的，双高，外部，有盖的大厅。这座大楼的内部组织非常清晰，纪律严明。该方案包括四个职能单位-三个部门和行政当局，它们在两层楼的布局上几乎是对称的，分为南北两部分，所有共同事务和进入大楼两翼的通道都位于中心。公共出入区域的双重高度提供了各种共同使用空间之间的透明度和相互作用，这使它们具有更大的动力。在建筑的两翼中，每一个都有一个室外的、绿树成荫的、半封闭的露台，这再次加强了重叠部门之间的建筑邻近性。这些露台可以标志着与周围农村的关系，也可以防止流通变得过于内化，这有利于为各部门负责人设计的区域之前的休息室/等候区。

The access is centralised and served by a large ramp which leads to the entrance marked by a large, double height, exterior, covered lobby. The building’s internal organisation is very clear and disciplined. The programme comprises four functional units - the three Departments and the Administration, which are laid out in an almost symmetrical plan on two floors, divided into two wings, north and south.  All the common services and the accesses to the two wings of the building are located in the centre. The double heights that characterise the common access areas provide the transparency and interaction between the various spaces of common use, which gives them a greater dynamic. There is also an outdoor, tree-lined, semi-closed patio in each of the two wings of the building, which streamline and strengthen once more the architectural proximity between the overlapping departments. These patios that serve to mark the relationship with the surrounding countryside also prevent circulation becoming too internalised, and this benefits the lounge/waiting areas that precede the areas designed for the heads of the various departments.

建筑物的清醒但富有表现力的视觉组合的外部装饰，也有潜在的象征意义。牛奶的纯白度是农士的精髓，它是用埃斯特雷兹大理石实现的，这种大理石能激发深灰色热玻璃的密度和透明度，在白天形成一组不同的对比、反射和光线相互作用，给建筑带来动态的表现。建筑物的能见度不应在晚上消失。因此，它的外观就像一个自燃的大灯箱，在一天中的任何时候都能吸引路人的目光，并能反映出一家公司的形象，该公司每天工作24小时，一年365天。

The building’s sober but expressive visual combination of exterior finishes also has underlying symbolism. The pure whiteness of milk, the essence of Agros, is achieved with Estremoz marble that sets off the density and transparency of the dark grey thermal glass, resulting in a differentiated set of contrasts, reflections and light interplay throughout the day that give a dynamic expression to the building.  The visibility of the building should not be lost in the evening, so its façade was treated like a large self-illuminated light box that at any time of the day holds the gaze of passers-by, managing to reflect the image of a company that works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

从建设的角度出发，建筑整体旨在探索钢筋混凝土建筑的边界。作为建筑物结构平衡特征的大型悬垂，是通过在钢筋混凝土中建立一个具有横向和纵向预应力的实体平台来实现的，该平台能够承受上部楼层的体积，由一个较轻、混合的组合式结构和金属柱和薄混凝土板组成。支撑这一体积的基础是一个半埋藏的地下室，专为停车、储存和厂房而设计，完全用钢筋混凝土建造。

From a constructive point of view, the architectural ensemble aims to explore the boundaries of reinforced concrete construction. The large overhangs that characterise the structural balance of the building are achieved by creating a solid platform in reinforced concrete with transversal and longitudinal prestress, capable of withstanding the volume of the upper floors, consisting of a lighter, mixed modular structure with metallic pillars and thin slabs of concrete. The base that supports this volume is a semi-buried basement, designed for parking, storage and plant rooms, and built entirely in reinforced concrete.
