架构师提供的文本描述。CIHAC博览会是拉丁美洲最大的年度建筑和建筑展览会。和其他许多展览一样，它会产生大量的垃圾，从而造成大规模的污染。几乎所有不同品牌和产品的展馆都与建筑和建筑行业有关，最终落在垃圾堆里。我们对此深感关注，并与展览负责人接触，建议建立一个低成本零废物可持续展馆，为未来的展览树立榜样。

Text description provided by the architects. Expo CIHAC is the biggest annual architecture and construction exhibition in Latin America. Like many other exhibitions, it creates large-scale contamination due to the excess waste it generates. Almost all the pavilions of the different brands and products related to the architecture and construction industry, end up in the trash. Deeply concerned by this, we approached the exhibition principals with the proposal of creating a low cost - zero waste sustainable pavilion that could set an example for future exhibitions.

在自行车运动的启发下，我们专注于将废品或无用产品转化为质量更好或环境价值更高的新材料或产品，我们构想了一个专门由堆在一起的苏打水箱组成的展馆。首先，我们把这个项目介绍给一家主要的汽水公司，在这个例子中，可口可乐，让他们赞助我们并借给我们苏打水箱。由于他们发现这个项目非常有趣，并且与他们的可持续发展公司计划相一致，他们甚至提出赞助箱子的运输。

Inspired by the upcycling movement, that focuses on converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value, we conceived a pavilion made up exclusively of soda crates piled on top of each other. First, we presented the project to a major soda company, in this case Coca Cola, to get them to sponsor us and lend us the soda crates. Since they found the project very interesting and in tune with their sustainability company programs, they even offered to sponsor the transportation of the crates.

第二，我们说服展览的负责人让我们建造展览的自助餐厅，这个餐厅从来没有被认为是明智的设计，有5，000个苏打水箱作为一个自行车展馆。除了审美品质以及他们所看到的环境和可持续性美德之外，我们最大的卖点是它不会花费他们一分钱。

Second, we convinced the exhibition principals to let us build the exhibition´s cafeteria, which was never given any thought design wise, with 5,000 soda crates as an Upcycling Pavilion. Besides the aesthetic qualities and the environmental and sustainability virtues they saw in it, our biggest selling point was that it would not cost them a cent.

由于我们从来没有用苏打水箱建造过一个展馆，所以在展览开幕前三天，我们等待着5000箱的到来，并通过现场试验、试验和错误，在现场建造了这座展馆。板条箱被堆在一起，简单地用小塑料吊带绑在一起，形成墙壁。弯曲的墙并不是毫无意义的，它们会给你结构，让你爬到5米高。墙的尽头是对角线，与地面相接，这样它们才能有更多的稳定性。

Since we´d never built a pavilion out of soda crates, we awaited the arrival of the 5,000 crates three days before the exhibition opened, and constructed it on the spot through on site experimentation and trial and error. The crates were piled on top of each other and simply tied to one another with small plastic cinch straps to create the walls. The curved walls are not gratuitous; they give structure and let you go up to 5 meters in height. The walls end in diagonal lines that meet the floor in order for them to have more stability.

虽然这个展览已经进行了一段时间，但在展览举办的三十多年里，从来没有做过这样的事情。它为创造低成本和零废物展台的非传统和非常规解决方案提供了一个范例。展览结束后，展馆被拆除，塑料吊带被收集并回收，苏打水箱被归还可口可乐，继续用于原来创造的东西：携带汽水POPS。

Although upcylcing has been around for some time now, nothing of this sort had ever been done in the more than thirty years that the exhibition has taken place. It served as an example for unconventional and outside the box solutions for creating low cost and zero waste pavilions. When the exhibition came to an end, the pavilion was dismantled, the plastic cinch straps were collected and recycled and the soda crates were returned to Coca Cola to continue being used for what they were originally created: carrying soda pops.
