当代城市中不平衡的增长现象正在城市地图上留下明显的印记，将城市划分为不同的部分。城市化的建筑需要在平衡社会阶层分化的差距上起到重要作用。“倒置的金字塔”恰巧符合了我们的观点。

The growth of inequality in contemporary cities is creating visible markings on urban maps, inserting cracks that divide them into separate segments. Architecture and urbanism need to act primarily as counterweights to the gap dividing social classes. “Reversing the pyramid” proposes us to change our perspective.

自1940年以来，这个项目所处的广场一直以Antonio López的名字命名，他是第一位科米拉斯侯爵，在20世纪早期通过奴隶贸易致富的商人。2021年，广场更名为Idrissa Diallo，以纪念一名年轻的几内亚人，他于2012年被转移到巴塞罗那外国人拘留中心(CIE)后不久死亡。

The square where this intervention is located has had, since 1940, the name of Antonio López, the first Marquis of Comillas; a businessman who became rich through the slave trade during the early 20th century. In 2021, the name of the square was changed to Idrissa Diallo in memory of a young Guinean who died in 2012 in the custody of Barcelona’s detention center for foreigners (CIE) shortly after being transferred there.

尽管Antonio López雕像于2018年被拆除，作为市政非殖民化政策的一部分，这是象征性撤销的首批行为之一，但空的基座仍然留在广场上，标志着他的存在。

Despite the removal of the statue of Antonio López in 2018, in one of the first acts of symbolic resignification as part of municipal decolonization policies, the empty pedestal nevertheless remains in the square, marking his presence.

基座是最具象征意义的难以接近的空间之一。在2022年5月5日至15日举行的巴塞罗那模型建筑节期间进行的干预改变了其意义和观点，不再强调个人的优越感、等级制度和权力，而是提出通过创建一个高于基座的新公共空间来颠倒阶级的金字塔。它建立了一个公共平台，重新诠释后殖民城市，反思阶级、性别和种族在城市环境中的地位和文化表征。这个新空间消除了等级制度，并邀请我们欣赏建筑和城市规划固有的社会方面。

A pedestal is one of the most symbolically inaccessible spaces there is. The intervention, carried out within the Barcelona Model Architecture Festival that was held between May 5 and 15, 2022, changes its meaning and point of view away from one that served to highlight individual superiority, hierarchy and power, proposing instead to invert the pyramid of classes by creating a new public space that is elevated above the pedestal. It establishes a public platform from which to reinterpret the post-colonial city and reflect upon the position and cultural representations of class, gender and race in the urban environment. This new space eliminates hierarchies and invites us to appreciate the inherent social aspects of architecture and urban planning.

该装置促进了公共空间和废弃城市结构的再利用，以提高我们对生活场所的认识。这个结构就像一座建筑，一个供市民使用的小房间，每个人都可以在这里表达自己。它是树梢上的一个空间，也是广场的一个藤架;一个树屋，一个辩论的空间，一个集市，一个反思的地方，一个从另一个角度看城市的地方。

The installation promotes the reuse of public spaces and disused urban structures to increase awareness of the places in which we live. The structure is like a building, a small room for citizens where everyone can express themselves. It is a space at the level of the treetops but also a pergola for the square; a tree house, a space for debate, an agora, a place from which to reflect and from which to see the city from another perspective.

通过使用预制的、标准化的、最重要的是完全可重复使用的建筑系统，延长了材料的使用寿命，这种干预的生态足迹被最小化。

The ecological footprint of this intervention is minimized through the use of a prefabricated, standardized and, above all, totally reusable construction system that extends the useful life of its materials.
