架构师提供的文本描述。癌症中心ABC(美国英国癌症中心)的协同作用，创造了一个最佳的治疗环境，挑战的患者，通过一种可怕的和改变生活的经验。这家综合性肿瘤学中心位于墨西哥城，集放射治疗、化疗、小手术、临床多专业小组、诊断学、病人支持和教育于一体。目前分散在校园内的许多服务现在被合并成一个多模式中心。该设施还将许多肿瘤学专家聚集在一起，为医生和工作人员创建了一个多纪律的团队组织。

Text description provided by the architects. The synergy of the Centro de Cancer ABC (American British Cowdray Cancer Center) creates an optimal treatment environment for patients challenged with persevering through an intimidating and life-changing experience. Located in Mexico City, this comprehensive oncology center integrates radiation therapy, chemotherapy, minor procedures, clinical multi-specialty teams, diagnostics, and patient support and education. Many of the services currently scattered throughout the campus are now consolidated into one multi-modality center. This facility also brings many of the oncology specialists together in one building, creating a multi-disciplined team organization for physicians and staff.

化学疗法位于顶层，通过窗户外的景观露台提供城市天际线的景观。疗伤园为病人、访客和工作人员提供休息，毗邻基督教和犹太小教堂。

Chemotherapy is located on the top floor and provides views of the city skyline through landscaped terraces just outside the windows. A healing garden provides respite for patients, visitors and staff, and is adjacent to Christian and Jewish chapels.

项目场地的一部分被分配给一个社区公园，以进一步为社区服务，并将建筑整合到社区结构中。整座大楼的街道边缘都有周边的景观。在两层提供病人接送和贴身服务，并在该大楼附近立即提供等级停车场。

A portion of the project site is allotted for a neighborhood park to further serve the community and integrate the building into the neighborhood fabric. The entire street edge of the building has landscaping along the perimeter. Patient drop-off and valet services are available at two levels, and grade-level parking is located immediately adjacent to the building.

在设计挑战中，有几个因素起了作用：这个奇怪的城市工地把项目锁在了老旧的住宅建筑、街道、一组旧仓库和一小片三角形的土地之间。主要医院就在街对面，所以方法是找出与之相连的地方，利用南面的城市天际线的景观，防止人们对相邻屋顶的不尽人意的看法，同时为每一个可用的空间提供急需的自然光。视觉玻璃的组合被用来增强视野，而喷砂玻璃则用来阻挡和过滤其他人的自然光，这样病人就不会面对不想看到的视线。

Several factors played a role in the design challenge; the odd-shaped urban site locked the project between older residential buildings, streets, a group of old warehouses and a small triangular strip of land. The main hospital sits across the street, so the approach was to find connectivity with it, take advantage of views of the city skyline toward the south and prevent undesired views of adjacent rooftops, while at the same time providing with much needed natural light into every space available. A combination of vision glass was used to enhance and frame views, while spandrel and sandblasted glass served to block and filter natural light in others, so patients would not face undesired lines of sight.

由于街道的杂乱无章的布局形成了一个四层玻璃中庭，作为整体形态的发电机，因此需要创造一个司机会认出的主要入口；它的凹面玻璃遵循新引入的环形交叉路口，引导游客和病人在落地的天篷下。这一解决方案使设计团队能够重新引入和扩大现有的绿地，并加强它，将其直观地连接到建筑物上，并将其与城市织物交织在一起。

The need to create a front that drivers would recognize as the main entry, due to the street’s disorderly layout shaped a four-story glazed atrium that acts as the generator of the overall form; its concave glass follows the newly-introduced roundabout that leads visitors and patients under the drop-off canopy. This solution enabled the design team to re-introduce and expand the existing green space and enhance it, connecting it visually to the building and intertwining it with the urban fabric.
