架构师提供的文本描述。萨拉曼卡市位于乔帕河(Choapa River)底部的一个内谷，这是一个采矿和农村地区。周围的景观包括一条长而窄的农业带，四周环绕着垂直的干旱山坡。该项目为目前低水平建设城市引入了一个新的高度。这一高度并不意味着一座从外部可以看到的塔，而是一座五层楼的建筑，它被理解为与山谷相关的内部结构。

Text description provided by the architects. The city of Salamanca, is located in an inner valley at the base of the Choapa River, a minning and rural area. The surrounding landscape includes a long narrow agriculture strip surrounded by vertical arid slopes. This project introduces a new height for the present low construction city. This height does not mean a tower that can be seen from outside, but instead a five floor building understood as an interior in relation to the valley.

该网站毗邻城市的主要广场，广场德Armas de Salamanca。第一种直觉是从扩大的公共人行道开始建筑旅游，认为这座建筑是城市环境的一部分。

The site is adjacent to the city’s main square, Plaza de Armas de Salamanca. The first intuition was to start the building tour from enlarged public sidewalk, thinking the building as part of an urban situation.

该建筑包含一个坡道系统，通过一个内部空间向景观开放，从地面到顶层的露台，汇集了各种市政服务。为了接收坡道，两个独立的结构是建立在与水平失配的底层。坡道连接两个卷，辅之以两个楼梯-两端各一个-这是工作团队和公众的捷径。

The building contains a ramp system, which runs through an interior space opened to the landscape from ground level up to the terrace on the top floor, bringing together the various municipal services. To receive the ramps, two independent structures are based from the ground floor with a level mismatch. The ramps connect both volumes, complemented by two staircases -one at each end- which serves as shortcuts for work teams and the public.

这整个空间的程序复杂性会聚在一起，每天接收大量的人，巩固建筑物的公共性质。这座建筑为一个紧凑的社区提供了一个聚会场所，因为它是一个人口不超过12，000人的城镇。所有楼层开放到这一主要空间，工人团队在轻松的气氛中接待公众，通过远处的景观将建筑内部带入。

This whole space where programmed complexity converges, receives a large number of people daily, consolidating the public nature of the building. This building proposes a meeting place for a tight community, as it is a town of no more than 12,000 inhabitants. All floor levels open to this main space, where worker teams receive the public in a relaxed atmosphere, brought inside the building by distant landscape views.

室内的物理属性被激活，通过对流来通风，在地下院子里呼吸空气，并在顶部通风。这条路的顶部有天窗，北面有一面玻璃墙，这是自然的照明。屋檐宽6米，在冬季和夏季，建筑与南半球太阳旅游的几何关系中调节光线。

The physical attributes of the interior are activated to ventilate the place by convection, taking air in an underground yard and venting it in the top. It is naturally illuminating with a skylight at the top of the route and a glass wall facing north. With an eave six meters wide, the building regulates the light in winter and summer, in the geometric relationship with the south hemisphere solar tour.

从城市地面上升到第四层的旅程从公共向私人推进，下层的公共项目对社区更开放，上层更多的私人项目。

The journey upward from the urban ground to the fourth floor progresses from public to private with public programs in the lower levels, which are more open to the community, to more private programs in the upper levels.

在每一层，各部门垂直地分布在建筑物的长度上。从坡道的收据，你穿过一系列的层次，到达内部办公室，在那里可以看到河谷的河流和北坡。

In each level, departments are distributed perpendicularly along the length of the building. From the receipts of the ramps you go through a series of layers to reach the inner offices, where the river and northern slopes of the valley are seen.

建筑过程始于在现场安装的一座抗震混凝土结构，以及所有其他建筑构件-比如混凝土面板、坡道和玻璃-都是在这座孤立的城市外预制而成的，并以灵活的连接方式组装到主结构上，以消散地震活动。

The building process started with a seismic-proof concrete structure erected on site, and all other construction elements –like concrete panels, ramps and glasses- are prefabricated outside this isolated city and assembled to the main structure with flexible connections, that dissipate seismic movements..
