“两塔一路” 观景装置

通项目“两塔一路”我试图通过建造两座瞭望塔来促进位于智利南部生物生物区Coronel市的Boca Maule沼泽地的挪用和恢复，并以建筑学的眼光将当地社区、学术界、市议会和徒步旅行组织联系在一起。

With two towers and a trail, I sought to promote the appropriation and restoration of the Boca Maule Marshland, located in the city of Coronel, in southern Chile’s Bio-Bio Region, by building two lookout towers, aligning, with an architectural vision, the local community, academia, the city council and trekking organizations.

该项目来自于对智利大城市的发展方向横向诊断，在这些城市中，公共空间的缺乏，不仅仅是自由空间的缺乏，更多的是被解释为缺乏为这些目的而设置的空间。天然的 "空旷 "空间，如沼泽地、河口、泻湖或山丘，被困在城市扩张中，或在其贬值中，受市场摆布，或靠近弱势群体。

The Project emerges from a cross-sectional diagnosis of Chile’s large cities, where the lack of public space, more than lack of free space, is construed as a lack of spaces set up for these ends. Natural “empty” spaces, like marshlands, estuaries, lagoons or hills, are trapped within the urban sprawl or in their devaluation, at the mercy of the market, or close to vulnerable groups.

尽管如此，由于这些地方具有很高的自然和景观价值，在城市背景下，这些地方都是潜在的公共空间，能够改善生活在周围的居民的生活质量，在很多情况下，有组织的邻居是可以获得公共资金的设置的利益。

Despite this, with their high natural and scenic value, these places, within urban contexts, are potential public spaces, capable of improving the quality of life of the inhabitants who live around them, in many cases organized neighbors being those who can access public funds for the benefit of their settings.

因此，正是在这里，建筑能够用具体的干预措施来衔接这两个条件，不仅是受益者，而且是实现建议所需的参与者。科罗内尔是一个曾经的矿区城市，由于污染指数高，今天被称为牺牲区。然而，沼泽地是一个不断恢复的城市绿洲。

Therefore, it is exactly here that architecture is able to articulate these two conditions with concrete interventions, aligning not just the beneficiaries, but also the players needed to materialize proposals. Coronel is a former mining city, known today as a sacrifice area, due to the high contamination indices it has. However, the marshland is an urban oasis in constant recovery.

因此，我们建议在生态恢复区的两端建造两座瞭望塔，作为标记该区域的地标。这两座塔都是单体的、通透的堆叠式木质结构，就像一个容器，但与周围的景观相比，它们的内容有所不同。位于步道顶端的塔楼有一个方形的螺旋楼梯，可以露出沼泽地，而沼泽地就隐藏在这条路线上。同时，在另一边，位于小径底部的塔，在一个平坦的空间上，有一个小型的庇护所，里面放着一张长椅，那里的一个开口框住了附近的景色，其顶部的一个大空洞框住了天空。

For this reason, we propose two lookout towers, located at the opposite ends of an ecological recovery area, as landmarks that mark out the area. Both towers are monolithic and permeable stacked wooden structures, just like a container, but that have a different content compared with the landscape that surrounds them. The tower at the top of the trail has a square spiral staircase to reveal the marshland, that is hidden along the route. Meanwhile, on the other side, the tower that is at the bottom of the trail has, on a flat space, a small shelter that holds a bench, where an opening frames the scene nearby, and a large hollow on its top frames the sky.

两座塔楼都是通过系统地重复一个建筑细节而建造的三个堆叠的木质立方体，从它们的比例来看，塔楼的规模处于灰色区域内，介于纪念性和脆弱之间，直接暗示了附近旧采矿业的废弃机器。

Both towers are built as three stacked wooden cubes built by the systematic repetition of a single construction detail where, by their proportion, the scale of the towers is inside a grey area, between the monumental and the fragile, directly hinting at the abandoned machines of the old mining industry nearby.

从建筑学的角度来看，这两座塔楼旨在证明这样一个理论：作为一次性的投资，空间中的一系列参照物能够将这样的地方转化为巩固的公共空间。

From an architectural view, the two towers aim to prove the theory that a series of references in the space are capable, as a one-off investment, of transforming places like these into consolidated public spaces.
