架构师提供的文本描述。拉巴塔通常被称为塔，因为它的旋转地板创造了一种形状，使人联想到在传统宝塔中发现的分层屋檐。这座塔由西班牙建筑师米格尔·菲斯克建造，于1968年至1999年期间矗立在马德里郊区。塔是菲斯克作为一名建筑师和混凝土大师的有趣和技巧的一个强有力的例子。休息后会有更多。

Text description provided by the architects. Laboratorios Jorba is commonly referred to as the Pagoda because its rotating floors create a shape reminiscent of tiered eaves found in traditional pagodas. Built by Spanish architect Miguel Fisac, the tower stood on the outskirts of Madrid between 1968 and 1999. The Pagoda was a strong example of Fisac’s playfulness and skill as an architect, and a master of concrete.  More after the break.

米格尔·菲斯克被公认为20世纪下半叶西班牙现代建筑的领军人物。他的作品长达六十年，其中包括在这段时间里建造了300多件作品。FISAC在工业设计、家具设计、城市规划和绘画等许多其他设计领域的项目也受到赞誉，但最出名的是他的创新建筑和他对混凝土的迷恋。

Miguel Fisac is recognized as the leader of modern architecture in Spain in the second half of the 20th century. His work spans six decades, and includes the construction of over 300 works in that time. Fisac is also credited with projects in many other design fields such as industrial design, furniture design, urban planning, and painting, but is most well known for his innovative buildings and his fascination with concrete.

20世纪50年代，菲斯克创作了数量惊人的多产作品，同时也开始了他与混凝土的关系。这种关系告诉了他的许多最著名的建筑，包括塔。他接受材料的灵活性，认为它是与他的设计合作的现代材料。FISAC很早就使用了模块化的混凝土构件，这使得他开发出了他最著名的后应力空心混凝土梁。这些梁让人联想到骨骼结构，并经常出现在他那个时期的作品中。在他的职业生涯后期，费斯克尝试了混凝土模板的重要性，在设置混凝土中创造了新的表面条件。对于塔，菲斯克使用木制模板为外部创造专利预制板，允许完全控制在他的设计形式。

In the 1950s Fisac produced an incredible amount of prolific work, and also began his relationship with concrete. This relationship informed many of his most recognizable buildings, including the Pagoda. He embraced the material’s flexibility and saw it as the modern material to partner with his designs. Fisac played with modular concrete pieces early on, which led him to develop the post-stressed hollow concrete beams for which he is most well known. These beams are reminiscent of bone structures and appear often in his work of that time period. Later in his career, Fisac experimented with the materiality of concrete formworks, resulting in new surface conditions in set concrete.  For the Pagoda, Fisac used wooden formwork to create patented pre-cast panels for the exterior, allowing for total control in the form of his design.

Jorba制药公司在1965年委托Fisac设计他们的建筑。由此产生的塔将Jorba的生产、储存和行政办公室安置在高度可见的塔内，以及它所处的长长的基础上。塔坐落在马德里郊外的高速公路上，为路过的交通提供了弯曲的混凝土外部景观。

The Jorba Pharmaceutical company commissioned Fisac to design their building in 1965. The resulting Pagoda housed Jorba’s production, storage, and administrative offices within the highly visible tower, and the long base on which it sat. The Pagoda was located along the highway just outside of Madrid, providing the passing traffic with views of the curving concrete exterior.

这座塔由五层楼组成，底部三层。塔楼的五个八角形平面图上升45度，形成了一座传统宝塔的形状。在建筑物内，钢柱和具有循环的中央核心将扭转地板统一起来。在外观上，菲斯克壮观的混凝土面板也把地板连在一起，楼面上有一个尖顶。

The tower was made up of five floors, with a base of three floors below. The tower’s five octagonal floor plans shift 45 degrees as they rise, creating the shape that recalls a traditional pagoda.  Within the building, steel columns and the central core with circulation unite the twisting floors.  On the exterior, Fisac’s spectacular concrete panels also unite the floors, which are topped with a pinnacle.

混凝土的表面上有木模板的线条。这些线条重复并增强了Fisac的双曲线抛物面曲线，这些曲线包裹着塔楼的移动平面图。这些混凝土双曲抛物面是混凝土的壳，向两个方向弯曲。面板是矩形的，大小不一，可以连接地板。

The surface of the concrete is marked with the lines of the wooden formwork. The lines repeat and enhance Fisac’s hyperbolic paraboloid curves, which wrap the tower’s shifting floor plans. These concrete hyperbolic paraboloids are shells of concrete which curve in two directions. The panels are rectangular, and vary in size to connect the floors.

这座塔在马德里城外矗立了30年，但在1999年被拆除。它的拆除引起了公众的极大关注，他们猜测建筑物倒塌的原因。这座塔在西班牙并不是一座历史悠久的建筑，因此它的主人可以自由地在该遗址上做他们想做的事情。特别不幸的是，一位年迈的菲萨克还活着，看到他的塔被拆毁。如今，这块土地拥有一座大得多的建筑，占用了大部分土地的足迹。这座塔不再矗立，现在通过它的存在和毁灭的形象来纪念它。

The Pagoda stood outside of Madrid for 30 years, but was demolished in 1999. Its demolition received a significant amount of attention from the public who speculated on the reason the building was going down. The Pagoda was not considered a historic building valid for protection in Spain, and therefore the owners had freedom to do what they wanted on the site. Especially unfortunate was that an elderly Fisac was still alive to see his Pagoda demolished.  Today the piece of land holds a much larger building, using up most of the site’s footprint. The Pagoda no longer stands and is now memorialized through images of its existence, as well as its destruction.
