在西班牙大亚维亚市市中心的一棵六头棕榈树倒塌后，我们设计了“El Mirador de la Palmera”，并以此为借口对这棵树进行了结构支撑。

After the collapsed of one of the six-headed palm tree in the center of town in Daya Vieja, Spain, we have designed “El Mirador de la Palmera” with the excuse of a structural support for the tree.

我们想把市中心和周围的果园连接起来，向游客展示不同季节景观氛围的变化。我们已经建立了一个了望塔与一个螺旋式长廊，以一个壮观的狭窄立交桥最高，突出，并在一个主要的城镇大道。El Mirador de la Palmera提供了维加巴哈，罗贾莱斯和拉玛丽娜惊人的景色。

We wanted to connect the town center with the orchards in the surroundings to show the visitors the change of landscape atmospheres along the different seasons. We have created a lookout tower with a spiraling promenade that culminates in a spectacular narrow overpass that juts out and over a major town thoroughfare. El Mirador de la Palmera offers stunning views of the Vega Baja, Rojales and La Marina.

这种奇怪的结构的结果是“变体古根海姆3”，或“从棕榈林的观点”，一个三层螺旋金属人行道。在西班牙西南海岸的大亚维雅镇，一片有六棵棕榈树的小树林有着非同寻常的巨大支撑系统。我们设计了圆柱形或直径2，4，6厘米的结构，这是一种在三维结构设计程序中玩的游戏，这个游戏持续了8个多月的预定义和重新绘制。

The result of this odd structure is the "Variation Guggenheim 3", or "Viewpoint from the Palm Grove," a three story spiraling metal walkway. In the Spanish town of Daya Vieja, on the southwestern coast of Spain, a grove of six palm trees has an unusually grand support system. We have designed the structure with round bars or 2, 4 and 6 centimeters of diameter, it was a kind of game played in a 3D structural design program; this game lasted more than 8 months of predefinitions and redrawing.

与传统的支撑系统相比，Mirador无疑使用了更多的材料，占用了更多的空间，但它让游客更靠近树木，创造了愉快的体验，同时也发挥了宝贵的作用，值得称赞。除了优美的景观和有趣的结构，让树成为焦点并与它们一起工作的想法是一个可持续思维的例子，渗透了当今建筑的大部分内容。

While the Mirador certainly uses more materials, and takes up more space, than a traditional support system would, it deserves credit for bringing visitors closer to the trees and creating a pleasant experience, while performing a valuable function as well. In addition to the nice views and fun structure, the idea of making the tree a focal point and working with them is an example of the sustainable thinking that infiltrates much of today’s architecture.

这座塔看上去很像为行人建造的过山车。而不是速度，Mirador提供了令人敬畏的360度视图大亚维雅。西班牙设计的El Mirador de la Palmera，既是一个螺旋式的走道/观望塔，也是棕榈树的支撑。

The tower looks rather like a roller coaster made for pedestrians. Instead of speed, the Mirador offers awesome, 360 degree views of Daya Vieja. El Mirador de la Palmera designed in Spain, serves both as a spiraling walkway/lookout tower and a brace for the palm trees.
