2018年11月，Espinet / Ubach建筑工作室完成了一个由26个居住单元组成的住宅项目，项目位于巴塞罗那具有象征意义的老Can Batlló纺织厂附近。住宅的中央庭院是设计的驱动因素，它可以调节建筑温度并且也是社区生活的中心。Can Batlló保障住宅是一个由Municipal Patronat de l’Habitatge de Barcelona（PMHB）举办的公开竞赛项目。场地位于Sants中心地带，原来Can Batlló纺织厂（现被列为“公共利益”）边缘的一个剩余地块。这个区域的三面可以看到不同的城市景观。

November 2018, the architecture studio Espinet / Ubach has completed a project consisting of 26 social housing units situated next to the emblematic old textile factory Can Batlló in Barcelona.

A central courtyard is the driving element of the project, as it regulates the temperature of the building and acts as the epicentre of community life.

The residential building of Can Batlló is the result of a public competition organized by the Municipal Patronat de l’Habitatge de Barcelona (PMHB).

It is located on a residual site, bordering the former textile factory of Can Batlló (which has been classified as ‘of public interest’), in the heart of the Sants district.

The plot has three sides that look out onto varying urban landscapes.

建筑体量位于Carrer Parcerisa的一端，通过一条小路与公园相连，公园内保留了Can Batlló遗留下来的主立面。

以“开放道路”为题，竞赛要求符合当地建筑的规定，并以不同高度“包裹”结构为概念。

建筑师最先采用的方式是挖掘内部庭院的品质，庭院不仅作为照明和通风元素，也是住宅之间连接的工具。

庭院作为气候调节器，在建筑生物气候研究中取得了非常好的效果。

The volume of the building stands on one hand at the end of the Carrer Parcerisa and on the other by a small passageway to a park that accommodates the main facade of the remains of Can Batlló.

Under the title ‘Opening Roads’, the competition presented the concept of a ‘wrapped’ structure of different heights, in accordance with local regulations on exterior and interior levels. This initial approach allowed us to explore the qualities of an interior courtyard, not only as a lighting and ventilation element, but also as an instrument of connection between the dwellings. The courtyard works as a climatic machine and has obtained very favourable results in the bioclimatic study of the building.

项目提出了一种理解住宅内部布局的新方式。环形服务空间围绕内部庭院设置，灵活性的生活空间设置在靠近建筑外立面的部分。建筑“皮肤”按照最佳视觉效果融入每个立面。最终结果是建筑立面产生精妙的开洞，非正交的围护结构和打破几何序列的分隔墙。

The programme presents a new way of understanding the internal layout of the dwellings. A ring of service areas has been placed around the courtyard, in the inner crown, and flexible living areas on the exterior facade.The ’skin’ of the building adapts to each façade and produces optimal visual assembly. The result is the subtle fractures in the façade, the de-orthogonally of the envelope, and the break in geometric order of the dividing walls.

庭院的中心性是最重要的秩序，庭院不仅是通往公寓的通道也是朝向天空的眼睛，吸引着昼夜与四季的阳光。由于产生的气流，它既是外部环境的导管，又可以排除内部产生的不良空气。

The formal order arises from the centrality of the courtyard. More than a mere passageway to the apartments, it becomes an oculus that opens towards the sky, attracting the light of night and day, winter and summer. It is both a conduit of the exterior environment and expels undesirable atmospheric conditions that are produced in the interior of the building, thanks to the current of air it generates.
