Lago Algo
這個位於墨西哥城的查普爾特佩克( Chapultepec )森林中的Lago Algo是CMR和OMR 創立營運的文化中心。該建築項目包括對現有建築的重新規劃，最初在1964年由 Leónides Guadarrama 和 Alfonso Ramírez Ponce 所設計，隨後於 1998 年由 Javier Sordo Madaleno 進行了翻新計畫。
Lago Algo is a cultural centre created and run by CMR and OMR, located in el Bosque de Chapultepec, Mexico City. The architectural project consisted of the re-programming of the existing building which was originally designed by Leónides Guadarrama and Alfonso Ramírez Ponce in 1964 and subsequently renovated by Javier Sordo Madaleno in 1998.
縱觀建築的歷史演進，我們觀察到自1964年最初的建築理念是藉由雙曲抛物面的天花板來涵蓋不同的各空間—這些空間共同形成一家餐廳。在90年代空間翻新的主要旨在打造一個為私人活動提供不同的空間可能性，首先是在原始結構旁邊增加新空間，其次是將現有餐廳空間劃分為三個獨立區域，這也說明訪客無法欣賞到完整的雙曲抛物面天花板。
We noticed that, throughout the archaeological history of the building, the architectural aim of the original 1964 project was the containment of different adjoining spaces - which together formed a restaurant - by a hyperbolic paraboloid ceiling. The main purpose of the spatial renovation of ´90s was to offer different spatial possibilities for the production of private events, firstly by adding new spaces adjacent to the original structure, and secondly by dividing the existing restaurant space into three independent spaces, which meant that visitors were unable to appreciate the complete hyperbolic paraboloid ceiling.
此項目的美學語彙體現了因著時光的推移，在結構上所留下的粗糙性與翻新後的建築特徵。它剝去且重現了所有元素，旨在創造一個教育性的空間，不僅可以在其中欣賞到建築和天花板的不同階段建造過程所留下的疤痕清晰可見，這些痕跡記載著建築歷史上由經濟、政治和社會變革而產生各空間蛻變的痕跡。
The aesthetic language of our project shows the crudeness of the original structure affected through time together with architectural features of the subsequent renovation. It strips back and shows all its elements with the intention of generating a pedagogical space where it is possible to appreciate the distinct constructive processes of the building and its ceiling. At the same time, the ceiling plainly shows the different scars that expose the traces of the multiple spatial partitions that were generated by economic, political and social forces throughout the history of the building.
