架构师提供的文本描述。作为墨西哥城政府的一个项目的一部分，设立了盲人和视障中心，为城市中处境最不利和人口最稠密的地区之一提供服务；伊兹塔帕拉帕是墨西哥首都视力受损人口最多的地区。

这座面积达14，000平方米的建筑群位于两条街边的拐角处。四面的盲墙围绕着建筑群，起到声屏障和挡土墙/空白墙的作用，以容纳从邻近荒地地区移动的土壤。与抽象的外观不同，边界墙的内部外观创造了改变形状、高度和方向的银行，从而创造了各种庭院。

The 14,000 sqm complex is on corner plot bordered by two avenues. A blind wall encircles the complex on its four sides and acts as an acoustic barrier as well as a retaining wall/blank to hold the earth moved from neighboring wasteland areas. In contrast to the abstract exterior, the internal facade of the boundary wall creates banks that change shape, height, and orientation, thus creating various courtyards.

平面图，同时，可以理解为一系列的过滤器，从入口延伸成平行的条带。第一个过滤器是行政办公室、自助餐厅和公用设施区的大楼。第二部分由两条平行线组成，两条平行线沿中心广场对称排列。这些建筑包括一家商店，“TLOTROTCA-Sonoteca”(一个声音和触觉画廊)和五个工艺品作坊。第三个过滤器是面向花园的教室和最私人的庭院。垂直入口处，一系列双高的藏书包括图书馆、体育馆-礼堂和游泳池.

The floor plan, meanwhile, can be read as a series of filters which stretch out from the entrance in parallel strips. The first filter is the building that houses the administrative offices, cafeteria, and utility area. The second consists of two parallel lines of buildings organized symmetrically along a central plaza. These buildings contain a store, the "tifloteca-sonoteca" (a sound and touch gallery) and five arts and crafts workshops. The third filter has the classrooms facing the gardens and the most private courtyards. Perpendicular to the entrance, a series of double-height volumes house the library, gymnasium-auditorium, and swimming pool.

建筑物为矩形棱柱，以混凝土框架和平屋顶为基础。每个小组探索不同的空间和结构关系，使每个空间可以识别为用户和不同的大小，轻强度和重量的材料：混凝土，铁砖，钢和玻璃。

The buildings are rectangular prisms, based on concrete frames and flat roofs. Each group explores different spatial and structural relationships, making each space identifiable for the user and varying size, light intensity and weight of materials: concrete, tepetate bricks, steel, and glass.

该中心旨在增强空间感知，激活作为经验和信息来源的五种感觉。一个水渠穿过广场的中心，使水的声音引导用户沿着他们的道路。在混凝土的水平和垂直线在手的高度提供了触觉线索，以确定每一个建筑物。周边花园里有六种芳香的植物和花卉，它们作为固定的感应器，帮助用户在复杂的环境中定位。

The Center aims to enhance spatial perception, activating the five senses as experience and source of information. A water channel runs through the center of the plaza, so that the sound of the water guides users along their way. Horizontal and vertical lines in the concrete at hand height offer tactile clues to identify each building. Six types of fragrant plants and flowers in the perimeter gardens act as constant sensors to help orientate users within the complex.
