智利圣地亚哥·镜子广场

"Plaza de los Espejos" 是一个城市基础设施项目，是由公共和私人合作产生的，包括项目开发的四个基本元素：一个现有的广场，地面涂装，新的城市家具和一座顶棚。所有这些元素在我们城市的剩余空间中产生了活力和意想不到的用途。

Plaza de los Espejos is an urban infrastructure project resulting from a Public and Private articulation that includes 4 basic elements for its development: an existing square, a floor painting, new urban furniture, and a cover. All of this generates dynamism and unexpected uses in the residual space of our city. 

这个现有的广场位于圣地亚哥市的Las Condes市政府辖区内，由于其作为“剩余空间”的性质而被选中用于这个项目。这个广场的“剩余空间”是由于Manquehue大道地下部分的施工工程导致的，这条大道穿过这个广场的下方，形成了一个“城市孤岛”，即在三条交通繁忙的大街之间的一个三角地带。此外，这个广场还具有一系列在设计中需要考虑的元素：八个混凝土花坛之间的空地，每个花坛都种有一棵树，以及由瓷砖组成的铺装，这些瓷砖呈正交排列的几何布局。

The existing square corresponds to the Municipality of Las Condes in the city of Santiago and was chosen for this project due to its condition as a "residual space" resulting from the works of the underground section of Manquehue Avenue that passes below this square, which caused an "urban island", a triangle in the middle of three highly transited avenues with almost no pedestrian connection. In addition, this square presented a series of elements that had to be considered in the design: an empty space between eight concrete planters with a tree each and the pavement composed of tiles arranged geometrically in an orthogonal layout.

在现有的布局内，地面铺装形成了新的三角形和梯形几何图案，采用了SEAT汽车品牌提供的一系列Pantone色彩作为参考。这些颜色代表了巴塞罗那天空的各种颜色，这座城市是这个品牌的发源地，作为一种广告和品牌定位的方式。

The floor painting is arranged within this pre-existing layout, generating a new triangular and trapezoidal geometry of multiple colors that takes as reference a series of Pantones provided by the automotive brand SEAT, which, as a form of advertising and brand positioning, represent the various colors of the Barcelona sky, the city of origin of this brand. 

新的城市家具采用胶合板面板制成，被视为地面涂装所引起的新几何形状的延伸，考虑到了3个不同高度的层次，用于各种未经计划的活动，如坐下、用餐、交谈、聚会、跳舞、跳跃、游戏、滑冰、唱歌等等，总之，这是各种活动的舞台。这些家具位于被间歇性线条划分的空间的中心，线条具有不同的高度和三种颜色：红色、橙色和黄色。

The new urban furniture, built with plywood panels, is understood as an extrusion of this new geometry caused by the floor painting, considering 3 levels of height that serve for multiple unplanned activities such as sitting, eating, conversing, gathering, dancing, jumping, playing, skating, singing, in short, a stage for various activities. This furniture occupies the axis or center of the space intervened by means of an intermittent line of various heights and three colors: red, orange, and yellow.

钢制顶棚的布置与空地以及带有树木的花坛相对应，因此在生成6个支撑柱的同时，这些支撑柱位于6个花坛的轴线上，旨在延续空间的空旷状态，但这一次通过一个提供阴凉的屋顶来对其进行包容和保护。这个屋顶通过采用反光不锈钢作为材料，作为顶棚的天空涂层，从而与广场的其他元素（地面涂装和家具）以及人们产生互动和刺激。这种设计创意的灵感来源于建筑师诺曼·福斯特（Norman Foster）设计的马赛老港（Vieux port de Marseille）和建筑师b720和Fermín Vázquez设计的巴塞罗那Encants市场（Mercats dels Encants）。这种设计概念创造了人与广场元素之间的动态和抽象使用方式。

The steel cover is arranged according to the empty space and the planters with the trees, thus generating 6 support pillars located at the axis of 6 planters, in order to continue with the empty condition of the space, but this time contained and protected by a roof that provides shade, and an interaction and stimulation with people and the other elements of the square (floor mural and furniture), through the use of reflective stainless steel as a coating for the sky of the cover, thus generating a dynamic and abstract use between people and the elements of the square, which takes as reference the Vieux port de Marseille by architect Norman Foster and the Mercats del Encants de Barcelona by architects b720 and Fermín Vázquez.

屋顶的形状还受到花坛的限制，因为在雨季，水直接落在树上，这是由于树的倾斜方向和一个排水槽将水引导到树上。这样就实现了雨水在屋顶上落下后重新循环，用于浇灌树木。屋顶的颜色响应了第五个立面的概念，因为周围的高层建筑包围了这个区域。

The shape of the roof is also conditioned by the planters, as the water discharges for the rainy season fall directly onto the trees due to the direction of their inclination and a gutter that leads the water to the trees, thus generating the recirculation of rainwater that falls on the roof for the watering of the trees. The colors of the roof respond to the concept of the fifth facade due to the high-rise buildings surrounding this area.
