架构师提供的文本描述。了解购物中心在当今社会中所扮演的新角色-吸引着社交聚会，甚至是文化交流-罗金德·阿奎科托斯(Roj金德·阿奎科托斯)被委托为这家3万平方米的新百货公司设计一个外观，作为该公司寻求重塑品牌的新时代的一部分。利物浦百货公司有着164年的历史，在很大程度上一直是墨西哥大型购物中心的主要支撑点之一。它的战略位置在直接的城市环境中起着重要的作用。

Text description provided by the architects. Understanding the new role shopping centers play in today’s society, in which they have be- come a magnet for social encounters and even cultural exchanges, Rojkind Arquitectos was commissioned to design a façade for the new 30,000m2 department store as part of a new era in the company’s pursuit for re-branding itself. Liverpool department stores, with a 164-year- old history, have for the most part always been one of the main anchor stores for large shop- ping centers in Mexico. Its strategic location plays an important role in the immediate urban context.

这个相对较新的郊区位于墨西哥城郊外的Interloma的北部“依赖汽车”的地下中心，其特点是缺乏开放的公共空间和众多不欢迎行人的道路。这个新立面是对这个与世隔绝的郊区的日常生活的快速反应，它坐落在一个非常拥挤的高速公路和立交桥的交汇处，这给了它一种未来主义的“刀锋式跑步者”的感觉。在现有的圆形脚印下，直接从3D模型制作的半成品过程驱动了立面设计意图背后的想法。速度成为项目经验的一个非常重要的因素。灵活性、流动性和动态性推动了设计过程。

Located in the northern “car dependent” sub- urb of Interlomas on the outskirts of Mexico City, this relatively new suburb is character- ized by a lack of open public space and a myriad of roads on which pedestrians are not welcomed. The new facade responds to a fast pace of the everyday life in this isolated suburb, sitting in the middle of a very congested intersection of highways and overpasses, which give it a futuristic “Blade Runner-like” feel. With an existing circular footprint, the cus- tomization process of fabricating directly from 3D models drove the ideas behind the façade design intent. Speed became a very important factor in the way the project is experienced. Flexibility, fluidity and dynamism drove the design process.

双层的门面遮住了这家商店，也让它的用户远离了混乱的环境。它是光滑的不锈钢机器一样的外观，是打算以一种非常流畅的方式，因为强烈的太阳沐浴了一整天。这是一个矛盾的精神和混乱的旋转；并列成为这部分城市的一个新的参考。

The double-layered façade shelters the store and it’s users from its chaotic environment. It’s sleek stainless steel machine-like exterior, is intended to evolve in a very fluid way as the intense sun bathes it throughout the day. It’s a contradiction to the grit and chaos of its sur- roundings; a juxtaposition that becomes a new reference for this part of the city.

晚上，外墙各层之间的空腔将被光线吞没，光线将通过皮肤褶皱处形成的细腻浮雕巧妙地逸出。夜间的外观由白天的坚实的单色AP-珍珠转变为一种被光线所强调的动态形态。作为客户这一新努力的一部分，选择了多家设计公司参与项目的各个部分：室内设计由FRCH完成，屋顶花园由Thomas Balsley完成，美食空间由JHP完成。

At night the hollow cavity between the layers of the façade will be engulfed in light that will subtly escape through the fine reliefs formed at the folds in the skin. The façade transforms at night from its solid monochromatic ap- pearance during the day to a dynamic form accented by light. As part of this new endeavor by the client, multiple design firms were selected to participate in the various parts of the project: the interiors were done by FRCH, the rooftop garden by Thomas Balsley and the gourmet space by JHP.

在最初的研讨会中，很明显，主要的中央内部空间需要反映外部的动态性质，因此客户保留了RojkindArqui-tectos来设计这个空间。当游客进入时，他们会遇到一个三层楼的中庭，里面充满了移动和过滤的日光，鼓励游客在百货商店中移动。弧形背光阳台意在提醒人们注意外观的流动性，但相对于外部外墙的城市尺度而言，它更具有人情味。

In the initial workshops sessions, it became clear that the main central interior space needed to reflect the dynamic nature of the exterior so the client retained Rojkind Arqui- tectos to design this space as well. As the visitor enters, they are met by a three- story atrium full of movement and filtered daylight that encourages the visitor to move throughout the department store. The curved backlit balconies are intended to be a reminder of the fluidity of the exterior façade but at a more human scale as opposed to the urban scale of the exterior façade.

这种内部和外部之间的游戏旨在为用户创造一种在屋顶花园达到高潮的发现感。屋顶露台将包括一个公园样的设置，不仅可以享受商店的游客，也可以由周围的地方社区，从而加强了百货公司将发挥的社会作用。这个项目的复杂性，加上一个非常紧的时间表和一个艰难的城市场地条件，需要一个高技能的设计团队和合作者的结合，在这个团队中，互联和数字设计工具已经从根本上改变了我们今天设计和建造建筑物的方式。

This play between the inside and outside is intended to create a sense of discovery for the user that culminates at the roof garden. The roof terrace will contain a park-like set- ting that can be enjoyed not only by the store visitors but also by the surrounding local community, thus enhancing the social role that the department store will play. The complexity of the project combined with a very tight schedule and a difficult urban site condition, required the combination of a highly skilled design team and collaborators in which the interconnectivity and digital de- sign tools have radically transformed the way we design and construct buildings today.
