架构师提供的文本描述。谢尔盖住宅的建筑通过解决其时代建筑的功能、规划和文化要求，摆脱了现有建筑的模拟设计，作为一种替代方案提出了当代世界，它通过节奏和纯粹的体积来诠释军事的永恒价值，如规则、清醒、严谨和纪律。谢尔盖的聚居地强调建筑结构是构成建筑的一个要素，是军事文化起源中的传统。

Text description provided by the architects. The building for the housing of Sergeants seeks the contemporary world through the resolution of functional, programmatic, and cultural requirements of the construction of its era, escaping from a mimetic design of the existing one, proposing itself as an alternative, which interprets timeless values of the military, such as the rule, sobriety, rigor and discipline, embodied in architecture through the rhythm and pure volumes. The accommodation block of the Sergeants emphasizes the structure as an element forming the architecture, being this tradition in the genesis of the military culture.

寻找一种能够以低成本提供体面条件的解决办法，并把自己作为其时代的一座建筑，是它赖以生存的前提之一。类型学必须是一个“画廊”，以寻求一种历史的连续性，价值已经被证明。因此，在谢尔盖的住宿区，有葡萄牙自己的建筑文化的事实，如拱廊，它在进入建筑物时通过其设计传达尊严，也是一个会议空间。

Looking for a solution that could offer decent conditions at low cost, imposing itself as a building of its time, was one of the premises on which it was based. The typology would have to be the one of a "gallery", in search of a historical continuity, with values already proven. Thus, in the accommodation block of Sergeants, there are facts of the Portuguese architectural own culture, such as the arcade, which conveys dignity by its design while entering the building and is also a meeting space.

一是利用建筑形式在功能上、结构上和逻辑上的审美连贯，将对应于和象征某些功能的卷相结合，即：柱状体作为动态形式，对应于垂直通道；“廊道”的类型是由水平线和海湾本身的节奏所强调的，最终形成了将音量非物质化并赋予建筑形式适当价值的紧急楼梯。这一选择与Vitruvius所持有的价值观是一致的，他提到，当作品的意义指的是有形和具体的东西，而它们的含义是“(.)基于概念逻辑的证据”。

One took advantage of the architectural forms in a functional, structural and logical aesthetic coherence, materialized by combining volumes that correspond to and symbolize certain functions, namely: the cylindrical volume as dynamic form, which corresponds to the vertical access; the typology of “gallery” is emphasized by horizontal lines and the rhythm of the bays themselves, culminating in the emergency stairs that dematerializes the volume and assigns a proper value to the architectural form. This option is consistent with the values held by Vitruvius when he mentions that when the meaning of the work refers to something tangible and concrete, while what they mean concerns "(...) with the evidence based on the logic of concepts."

建筑经济的概念始终是结构与建筑之间妥协的结果。该结构被理解为具有功能、空间和美学能力，超出了其作为负载支撑的主要功能。人们关心的是通过展示简单的事物来寻找美，这是基于这样一种信念，即建筑是从需求结束时开始的。建筑中对美的追求赋予了它永恒的品格，它不仅仅是因为新奇而具有价值，而是始终在寻找永恒的价值。

The notion of economy in architecture is always the result of a compromise between the structure and the architecture. The structure was understood as possessing functional, spatial and aesthetical capacity, beyond its primary function as a support of loads. There was a concern to find beauty by showing simple things, based on the belief that architecture begins when the need ends. The pursuit of beauty in architecture is what gives it a timeless character, not having value just for the novelty, but always looking for a value of permanence.
