2013年，我们被要求在世界上最干燥的沙漠设计一座供公众使用的建筑：

In 2013 we were asked to design a building for public use in the driest desert in the world:

阿塔卡马沙漠。

The Atacama Desert.

该地点靠近智利北部的第一个风电场，位于圣佩德罗·德阿塔卡马和艾奎纳之间。任务是提出一个方案，以及一个建筑的设计，能够暴露不同层次的沙漠的含义：自然，文化和活力。

The site is close to the first wind farm in northern Chile, located between San Pedro de Atacama and Ayquina. The task was to propose a program as well as a design for a building able to expose different layers of the meaning of the desert: natural, cultural and energetic.

由于缺乏对重点的明确定义，我们得以将该项目作为对当代建筑与景观关系的一项研究。

The lack of a clear definition of a focus allowed us to approach the project as an investigation into the contemporary relationship between architecture and landscape.

很明显，智利过去20年来最有趣的建筑是从与景观的辩证关系中建立起来的。

It is evident that the most interesting Chilean architecture of the past 20 years built its language from a dialectical relationship with the landscape.
