Balneario Bacalary浴场丨墨西哥丨Colectivo C733

Bacalar浴场位于Bacalar泻湖的边缘，是一处供当地人和游客免费使用的公共娱乐空间。该项目重新构想了景观，利用石灰石台阶来迎合海拔的变化，创造出从街道到泻湖的广阔全景视野。设计旨在打破边界，以梯台视角取代现有的墙壁，模糊了街道和综合体之间的界限。

Bacalar Baths, situated on the Bacalar Lagoon’s edge, stands as a public space offering free recreation for both locals and tourists. This project reimagines the landscape, utilizing stepped walls of limestone to absorb elevation changes, creating viewpoints from the street to the lagoon. The intervention prioritized breaking boundaries, replacing the existing wall with terraced viewpoints, blurring the line between street and the complex.

阶梯式的设计不仅创造出优美的景观，同时还为现有景观赋予了生态弹性。这些梯田模仿了泻湖边缘原始红树林的自然地形，有助于当地贮存水资源。此外，它们还作为雨水花园，成为了天然过滤器使进入泻湖的水更加清洁。该项目的设计强调了以水为中心的方法，旨在收集、处理、回收和再利用水资源，此外，项目中还设计了一个天然游泳池，以分散来泻湖游泳的运动者，在一定程度上减轻了泻湖的压力。

The stepped design not only provides scenic vistas but also establishes a resilient landscape. These terraces aid in rehydrating the territory, mimicking the natural action of the original mangroves along the lagoon’s edges. Additionally, they serve as rain gardens, acting as natural filters for cleaner water entering the lagoon. The project emphasizes a water-centric approach, capturing, treating, recycling, and reusing water, with a natural pool designed to mitigate the lagoon’s intensive use by bathers.

该综合景观设施包含了两个关键结构，第一个是多用途的palapa，这是一座棕榈编织和chicozapote木材搭建的结构，堪称乡土建筑工艺与当代技术的结合。第二部分由三个码头组成，每个码头都有不同的用途：其中一个供船只停泊，提供旅游服务；另一处提供了沉思空间，最后一处则是休闲区。

Two key structures embody the complex’s program. The first is a multipurpose palapa, a craftwork showcase of palm weaving and chicozapote wood, combining vernacular architecture with contemporary technology. The second comprises three piers, each with a distinct purpose: supplying boats with tourist services, providing a contemplation space, and offering a recreational area.

将Bacalar浴场转变为公共水上花园是对建筑和景观融合的探索，在这里，建筑环境无缝地成为自然基础设施的一部分。

This transformation of Bacalar Baths into a public water garden is an exploration to the integration of architecture and landscape, where the built environment seamlessly becomes part of the natural infrastructure.
