LAMA Pavilion

The solitary figure works as a landmark and a lookout (and look-in) place. With a vertical succession of rooms, it was built to look at the Andes Mountains, hidden amongst old native trees. Its format is that of a slender volume formed by two stacked towers, each half the total height. The lower one has an eave that duplicates the size of its roof, the upper one has a terrace that duplicates the footprint of its floor.

這座看似被孤立的建築，既是一個地標也是一個觀景（和觀內）之所。它擁有垂直排列的房間，建造的目的是觀賞安第斯山脈，隱藏在古老的樹林間。其結構形式是由兩個堆疊的塔形成的細長體積，每個塔都是總高度的一半。下層有一個與屋頂大小相同的屋簷，上層則有一個與地板面積相同的露台。

Floor and roof become a horizontal plate that sits halfway the elevation, a thin plane cantilevered in every cardinal direction, has a difficult function: it holds a shallow pond of rain water, thus, it turns the slab both into a mirror that reflects the upper section of the tower, the sky and the surrounding trees, and also into a fictional glass, a transparency, that suggests the presence of the lower tower. Even more difficult than that, like a permanent cloud, the plate casts a deep solid shadow over the lower tower, eventually with rain falling all around by the overflow of the little pond. Ironically, inside the tower, its lookout function is reversed. 

地板和屋頂形成衡量高度中間的水平板，這個薄薄的懸臂板在每個基點方向都有著重要的功能：它承載裝低淺的雨水，因此而轉變成一個鏡面，反射塔樓上半部、天空和周圍的樹林，同時也變成一個虛構的玻璃，具透明感，暗示著存在於下方的塔樓。而難度更高的是，它如同一朵永恆的雲，下方塔樓上投下了一個深沉的實體陰影，最終因著小池塘的溢流，周圍會有雨水落下。

Instead of framing the sublime panorama, tempering its imposing presence, the access to the suspended platform follows a spiral staircase that pivots around a continuous outdoor mural of vines, both living and painted, depicting a selection of thirty native flowers as if connected into the same tree. After the platform, a feeble wood ladder allows access to a black room with four peepholes, a kind of devious camera obscura, which then leads to an open, overexposed rooftop with a fire pit that, at the right distance, might turn the entire tower into an outdated chimney.

在塔樓內部具有諷刺意味，其觀景功能被逆轉。它不是聚焦於壯觀的全景，而是調節其壯觀的存在感，室外藤蔓壁畫的螺旋樓梯是通往懸浮平台的入口，這些藤蔓既有真實的也有繪製，描繪了三十種在地花卉，其宛若串聯形成了同一棵樹。平台後方，一個脆弱的木階梯引導人們可以進入具有四個窺視孔洞的黑色房間，該空間如同一個狡猾的暗箱，通往一個開放的、過度曝光的屋頂，那裡有一個壁爐，它在適當的距離下，能使塔樓變成一個古老的煙囪。
