Elena Poniatowska 的文化之家丨FMTEstudio

这座建筑最初被称为“Elena Poniatowska的文化之家”，在其最重要的开放期间举办了独立电影放映、书籍展示和户外晚宴。原来的建筑是梅里达历史中心的两座殖民地房屋合并的结果。该方案通过充满活力的绿色纹理马赛克地板将两座建筑统一起来，模拟一个长长的地毯，邀请用户在其中行走。为了传达新的文化中心价值，该项目旨在突出安静的空间作为中性的风景，让图形图像和个性的多样性给建筑带来生命。

Originally known as “Elena Poniatowska’s cultural house”, this building hosted independent film screenings, book presentations, and outdoor dinners during its foremost opening.The original building is the result of the merger of two colonial houses in Merida’s historical center.The proposal unifies the two buildings through a vibrant green textured mosaic floor, simulating a long carpet that invites the user to walk through it.To communicate the new cultural center's values, the project aims to highlight quiet spaces as neutral scenery, allowing the graphic imagery and the diversity of personalities to bring the building to life.

该项目尊重现有建筑的空间，并适应不同的功能，试图产生一种共鸣和有意识的对话，如二手服装店、带自助餐厅的素食产品商店、画廊、诗歌图书馆以及论坛。所有的设计都是根据其独特的美学和功能完成。诗歌图书馆位于该项目的中心。在室内，它的蓝色马赛克强调了这个空间的重要性，因为它在概念和空间层面上都是方案的核心。它被两个室外露台所包围，露台上有重新制作的可渗透的人行道和当地的植被。     这些露台将空间转化为一个开放的区域，可以在这里举办文化活动、瑜伽课和电影放映会。

The intervention respects the spaces on the existing buildings and adapts different functions which seek to generate an empathetic and conscious dialogue: a secondhand clothing store, a vegan products shop with a cafeteria, a gallery, a poetry library, and a forum.All are designed according to their distinctive aesthetic and function.The poetry library is located in the center of the property.In the interior, its blue mosaics emphasize the importance of this space as it functions as the core of the proposal on a conceptual and spatial level.It is surrounded by two outdoor terraces with remade permeable pavements and endemic vegetation.These terraces transform the space into an open area, where cultural events, yoga lessons, and film screenings are hosted.

浴室的设计允许光线进入隔间，并为用户提供舒适的环境。单片水槽可以让不同体型、身高和能力的用户使用它，因为它提供了可变的高度。一些元素作为时间流逝的见证，比如与橱柜对齐的砖石，这表明以前有一个隔墙。立面被轻轻地修复并重新涂上了中性色。为了保护建筑物的文物价值，建筑物的代表性造型和飞檐被保留了下来。铁制品的设计是根据梅里达历史中心的图形设计的。

The bathroom is designed to allow light inside the booths and provide comfort to its users.      A monolithic sink enables users from different body types, heights, and capabilities to use it, as it offers variable heights.Some elements function as witnesses of the passage of time, such as the masonry aligned to the cabinets, which indicates there was a preexistent partition wall.The facade was gently restored and repainted in neutral colors.To keep the heritage values of the building, the representative moldings and cornices of the building were preserved.The ironwork is designed according to the graphics of Merida’s historical center.
