这种协议的主要目的是推动恢复和插入一项具有社会利益的混合用途计划，这一计划将振兴埃斯奎拉斯·皮亚斯的城市环境。这些方案包括COAM的新总部和COAM文化基金会、一个托儿所、一个日托和高级中心、体育设施和一所音乐学校。还将修建大量地下停车位，以满足新建筑物和附近居民的需要。

The main goal of such agreement was to impulse the restoration and insertion of a mixed-use program of social interest, one that would revitalize Escuelas Pias' urban context. Such program included the new headquarters for COAM and the COAM Cultural Foundation, a nursery, a day care and senior center, sport facilities and a music school. Extensive underground parking space was also to be built, covering both the needs of the new buildings and nearby residents.

所有这些都应在不干扰圣安东尼奥教堂举行的宗教仪式的情况下进行，圣安东尼奥教堂也是修复的对象。作为一个不可缺少的条件，公共通道、绿色开放区域被设置为综合体的核心.该项目被认为是一个机会，可以在一个单一的体系结构响应中巩固一系列非常多样化的活动和兴趣。

All of this should be done without interfering with the religious services that take place in the church of San Antón, included in the complex, and which is object of a restoration as well. As an indispensable condition, a public-access, green open area is set as core of the complex. The program is regarded as an opportunity to consolidate a very diverse array of activities and interests in a single architectonic response.

Ecuelas Pías de San Antón的总建筑面积为5878平方米，其中628个属于巴洛克式圣安东尼奥教堂，这是建筑师Pedro Ribera宣布的“文化利益建筑”，完全嵌在建筑群中，是唯一没有遭受影响该地段其余部分的渐进破坏的部分。

The total built area for Escuelas Pías de San Antón is 5878 sqm, of which 628 belong to the baroque church of San Antón, a declared "Building of Cultural Interest" by architect Pedro Ribera that is completely embedded within the complex an constitutes the only part that didn't suffer the progressive ruination that affected the rest of the lot.

这个项目所追求的价值是创造一种平静而又充满活泼满足的气氛。保留下来的立面也有新的立面连续性，因为建筑群从来没有过，这要归功于一个圆木阳台，它白天时可以去物质化，晚上会变成一个生机勃勃的灯笼，在城市上空盘旋，…在花园上方。宁静的地方，拥抱生命的地方，.团圆的地方。一个惊喜，一个城市的“口音”。

The value that the project seeks is to create a serene -yet full of lively contentment- atmosphere. New ledge continuity in the preserved facades is also proposed, as the complex never had it, thanks to a loggia-balcony that dematerializes during the day and transforms into a vibrant lantern at night, hovering over the city,...above a garden. A place of quietude, of serenity, that embraces life,...a place for reunion. A surprise, an "accent" to the city.

有开放性格的隐居空间。通过街道透明度发现树木的地方。城市这片稠密地区的花园.一个允许呼吸的开阔空间，那里的生命自然地展开。建筑氛围与他们耳语般的品质；诚实和清晰的建筑；多丽丝的态度，接近本质的物质揭示其自然价值.理解，“在建筑，诚实是一个智力的立场”。

A secluded space with an open character. A place where trees are discovered through transparency at street level. A garden in this dense part of the city...an open space that allows to breathe, where life unwinds naturally. Architectural atmospheres with a whisper-like quality to them; honest and clear construction; a doric attitude, an approximation to essence where matter reveals its natural values...the understanding that, "in architecture, honesty is an intellectual position“.

它主要由混凝土、钢铁、玻璃和金色花岗岩建造。“树荫”在这里被视为一个无与伦比的价值空间。一个城市空间的真正转变是通过它的建筑和树木产生的。如果我们能够把城市这一部分的树木作为遗产传给我们的孩子们，我们就会建立起宝贵的城市遗产。

It is predominantly built with just concrete, steel, glass and golden granite. "The shade of a tree" is here regarded as a space of unparalleled value. The true transformation of an urban space is produced both through its buildings as well as its trees. If we are able to pass on a garden with trees in this part of the city as inheritance to our children, we will have built valuable urban heritage.
