架构师提供的文本描述。就像巴塞罗纳都会区的许多城镇一样，帕劳-索里塔自上世纪80年代以来人口增长了两倍，并通过单一家庭住房和低层公寓楼扩建。在这方面，公共建筑的设计可能是为了使结构中的主要街道具有城市和公民性质，或与构成这一大规模城市化外围的一系列仓库、购物中心和特许经营相适应。地方警察部队的总部就是一个例子。

Text description provided by the architects. Like many towns in El Vallès, in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, Palau-solità has tripled its population since the 1980s and extended by means of single-family houses and low-rise apartment blocks. In this context, a public building may be designed to give the main streets in the fabric an urban, civic character or to fit in with the series of warehouses, shopping centres and franchises that form the periphery of this sprawling urbanization. The headquarters of the local police force is an example of the former. 

该项目突出了一个城市轴心，即以前的水道-Carrerada路，它是一个高质量的公共空间，两旁有梧桐树和宽阔的人行道，还有一座设施综合体，由Josep Lluís Sert设计，由Josep Lluís Sert设计，并新建了警察局。项目的数量和建造线符合将其纳入这一途径的架构的目标。

The project highlights the civic axis that is Passeig de la Carrerada, a former watercourse, as a quality public space lined with plane trees and broad pavements, and a complex of facilities, with the Escoles Velles school building designed by Josep Lluís Sert, the sports centre and the new addition of the police station. The volumes and building lines of the project respond to the aim of integration into the architecture of this avenue.

这座建筑之所以引人注目，是因为它强调了自己在公众中的作用，并避开了一栋单户式住宅的国内外观，否则，该项目的规模或许就说明了这一点。其目的是为需要传达安全和安保的派出所创造一个紧凑、统一和可明确识别的形象。任何与标准三级建筑的关联都是通过专注于建筑的具体特征来避免的。

The building was made to stand out, emphasising its public role and shunning the domestic appearance of a single-family home that the size of the project might otherwise suggest. The aim was to create a compact, unitary and clearly identifiable image suitable for a police station that needs to convey safety and security. Any association with standard tertiary architecture is avoided by concentrating on the specific characteristics of the building.

这个项目是T形的，在前面，在大街上，在后面，可以俯瞰庭院，中间空间和室外大厅都有很大的投影。它还将底层的用途转移到一楼，以便只有与公众有关系的空间位于街道层。在内部，这些用途都是围绕着一个双层中央空间展开的，这个空间将整个建筑联系在一起。

The project is T-shaped in section to create large projections at the front, on the avenue, and at the rear, overlooking the courtyard, with intermediate spaces and outdoor lobbies. It further transfers ground-floor uses to the first floor, so that only spaces for relation with public are situated at street level. Inside, the uses are laid out around a double-height central space that communicates the whole building.
