Text description provided by the architects. Integration is transformation

Rubem Braga电梯综合体旨在改善里约热内卢市帕瓦奥社区居民的可达性，该社区位于地面80米以上。不久前，就像在里约热内卢的其他几个社区一样，那里的居民经历了摇摇欲坠的楼梯和临时通道的危险，更不用说山体滑坡的威胁了。

The Rubem Braga Elevator Complex aims to improve accessibility for the residents of Pavao community, located 80 meters above ground level, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Not long ago, as in several other Rio de Janeiro neighborhoods, that population experienced the danger of rickety stairways and makeshift passages up and down the slope, not to mention the threat of landslides.

电梯综合体由两座塔楼、全景电梯和金属楼梯组成。连接塔楼的是40米长的钢桥。此外，它们还与一套新的室外混凝土楼梯相连，这些楼梯在山坡上和下面蜿蜒而行。为了防止山体滑坡，在岩石中建造了一套挡土墙。此外，电梯塔还提供通往奥索里奥地铁站的通道，从而增加了当地居民的城市流动性。

The elevator complex consists of two towers housing panoramic elevators and metal staircases. Linking the towers are 40-meter-long steel bridges. Also, they’re coupled with a new set of outdoor concrete staircases winding up and down the hillside. A set of retaining walls was built into the rock as way to prevent landslides. Moreover, the elevator tower provides access to General Osório Metro Station, thus offering increased urban mobility to the local population.

电梯塔建筑群象征着特权地区与缺乏最基本公共服务的地区之间的联系，因为它将帕沃社区与城市其他地区紧密相连，传达了一种城市发展的感觉。在里约，这座建筑群被视为一种全新的观光选择。这种以游客为导向的使用方式可以为社区带来令人兴奋的经济前景，也可以促进引人入胜的社会互动，这突出了该项目最初的理念：人人享有城市空间。

The elevator tower complex symbolizes a link between a privileged area and one lacking the most basic public services, as it closely connects the Pavão community with the rest of the city, and conveys a sense of urban development. The complex has been seen as a brand-new sightseeing option in Rio. That tourist-oriented usage can bring in exciting economic prospects for the community, and can also foster fascinating social interactions, which highlight the project’s initial idea: urban spaces for all.

塔概念

Tower Conception

采用的建筑方法既保持了山坡的稳定性，也只取代了少数当地居民。塔的结构由一个棱柱形的金属框架组成，三个等距的混凝土圆柱体作为顶点。电梯位于这个棱镜内，它由透明玻璃制成，一边是透明玻璃，另一边是砖石鞋底。砖-鞋底的特点是从蓝色到绿色的调色板，从而代表了海洋和森林之间的平稳过渡。

The architectural approach adopted preserves hillside stability, as well as displaces only a few of the local population. The structure of the towers consists of a prism-shaped metal framework with three equidistant concrete cylinders for vertices. The elevators are located inside this prism, which is made with transparent glass down one side and brise-soleils down the other two. The brise-soleils feature a palette ranging from blue to green, thus representing a smooth transition between sea and forest.

能够看到美丽的里约热内卢城市和海景，是一个透明的玻璃立面在泰谢拉德梅洛街轴线。在其余的立面后面是两套楼梯，在紧急情况或停电情况下提供逃生途径。

Enabling a view of the beautiful Rio de Janeiro city and seascape is a transparent-glass façade at the axis of Teixeira de Melo Street. Behind the remaining façades are two sets of stairs providing a means of escape in case of emergency or a power failure.

第二塔与文字

对城市当局来说，无障碍的概念必须超越使残疾人生活更容易的可能性。它适用于所有类型的人：老年公民、预产期母亲、在校儿童以及游客和城市居民。因此，电梯成为进入当地社区的门户，为当地社区带来了众所周知的好处，如减少社会不平等、降低犯罪率、改善生活质量，更不用说不受限制地使用不同的公共交通工具了。

To the city’s authorities, the concept of accessibility must transcend the possibility of making disabled people’s lives easier. It extends to all kinds of people: senior citizens, expecting mothers, school children, as well as tourists and city residents alike. Therefore, the elevator makes for a gateway into the local community, bringing in well-known benefits for the local communities, such as reduced social inequality, lower crime rate, improved quality of life, not to mention unrestricted access to the different means of public transport.

电梯机舱上方有一座有盖的观景台，不仅可以保护楼梯不受雨淋，还可以形成一个新的观光点，从而让不同的社区聚集一堂，让他们都能欣赏到城市独特的景色。

Above the elevator engine room is a covered belvedere designed not only to protect the staircases from the rain but also to generate a new sightseeing spot, thus bringing together different communities by allowing all of them to enjoy the city’s unique views.
