建筑事务所PMMT在医疗建筑方面有着超过25年的经验，同时也热衷于进行一系列创新性研究项目的开发，因此享誉全球，这次，他们为自己在巴塞罗那设计的新办公室充分地贯彻和传达了他们的价值观和设计理念。这个空间为客户和合作伙伴创造了一个能够亲身体验贯穿了PMMT所有项目的健康空间。

The architecture firm PMMT, internationally recognised for its over 25 years of experience in the healthcare sector and the development of innovative research projects, has made its new Barcelona office a space that transmits its values and philosophy. The space allows clients and collaborators to experience for themselves the added value of the healthy, inclusive solutions it incorporates into all of its projects.

PMMT Arquitectura的新办公室中设有办公空间和通用设计陈列室，位于巴塞罗那22@街区内的一座工业建筑内，这里曾是一家饼干加工厂。设计团队将这个空间进行了修复和改造，希望将其打造为一个鼓舞人心的创作环境，并将事务所一直以来的建筑理念——包容性和健康性融入其中，从而为自己公司的团队创造一个更加舒适的办公环境。对PMMT来说，这是一种基于RDI的建筑实践，因为这两个建筑理念一直是他们正在进行的研究项目的核心，并且这两个理念也已经产生了一系列诸如Friendly Materials®和Clear Code Architecture©等的设计方法。

Workplace and universal design showroom, the new office of PMMT Arquitectura is located in Barcelona’s 22@ district, in an industrial building that used to house a biscuit factory.
 The space has been rehabilitated with the ultimate aim of providing its team with an inspiring creative environment, as well as incorporating two of the criteria that are inherent in the firm’s way of understanding and approaching architecture: inclusion and health. For PMMT, an architecture practice based on RDI, these two values lie at the heart of ongoing research and have produced methodologies such as Friendly Materials® and Clear Code Architecture©.

Clear Code Architecture©是PMMT正在进行的一个调研项目的结果，它能够客观地评估一个空间普遍的可到达性，并针对评估结果提出改进措施。这些参数的应用能够使所有使用者都能在平等的环境条件下工作，从而创造出一个更加平等的社会。为此，新办公室的人工干预设计涉及到了从街道到空间入口的坡道设计，从而为行动不便的人创造一个便于通行的路径。Clear Code的标记被置于入口处，从而方便来访者抵达目的地，进入空间。

Clear Code Architecture© is the product of ongoing investigation, allowing objective evaluation of the universal accessibility of a place and helping to improve it. The application of these parameters enables all users to work in equal conditions, with a view to creating a more egalitarian society. To this end, interventions in the new office include a ramp from street level to the entrance, allowing access to people with impaired mobility. The Clear Code marker is situated at the entrance to help visitors find their way around.

在这里，建筑师还设计了一个可以指示办公室中所有空间的触觉地图，地图分为三种语言（西班牙语、加泰罗尼亚语和英语等）和盲文。因此，即使是盲人，也可以确定自己的确切位置，而盲文中的符号则与每间房间的门把手上的符号相对应，使得盲人可以确认自己走到了正确的房间。同时，在整个空间中，具有视觉多样性的人群也可以通过铺设着触觉材料的路径确定自己的行进方向。

At this point, a tactile map indicates all the spaces in the office, with their names in three languages (Spanish, Catalan and English) and Braille. So that people who cannot see know they are entering the right place, the symbols in Braille then correspond with the confirmation of destination included on the door handles of each room. Meanwhile, throughout the space, groups of people with visual diversity have an accessible route marked with tactile paving.
