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.

Lago|Algo是一个由CMR和OMR创建和运营的文化中心，位于墨西哥城的埃尔博斯克-德-查普尔特佩克。该建筑项目包括对现有建筑的重新规划，该建筑最初由Leónides Guadarrama和Alfonso Ramírez Ponce于1964年设计，随后由Javier Sordo Madaleno于1998年翻新。

The urban aim of the project is to regenerate the second section of el Bosque de Chapultepec by offering a new public programme emphasising contemporary art and sustainable food, thereby forging new tensions within the existing recreational and cultural infrastructure of the park.
该项目的城市目标是通过提供一个强调当代艺术和可持续食物的新公共项目，重建埃尔博斯克-德-查普尔特佩克的第二部分，从而在公园现有的娱乐和文化基础设施中形成新的紧张关系。

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.
我们注意到，在整个建筑的考古历史中，最初1964年项目的建筑目标是通过双曲抛物面天花板容纳不同的相邻空间，共同形成一个餐厅。90年代空间改造的主要目的是为私人活动的产生提供不同的空间可能性，首先是在原始结构附近增加新的空间，其次是将现有的餐厅空间划分为三个独立的空间，这意味着游客无法欣赏完整的双曲抛物面天花板。

The main aim of our architectural design was to fully understand the original project and its different alterations so that we could transform the building into a public gallery space and a restaurant. Our approach was to develop a plan which would showcase the free-standing structure of the building in order to integrate distinct open plan spaces that could provide the required flexibility for the building to host distinct types of exhibitions. During our search to recover the previously fragmented ceiling, we decided to reformulate the spatial limits between the different spaces through the integration of distinct ground levels and low walls. The purpose of this was to integrate particular thresholds to separate the different programmes while at the same time connecting them visually. In this way, visual interaction is always maintained with the continuous hyperbolic paraboloid ceiling which is considered the main architectural feature of the entire space.
我们建筑设计的主要目的是充分理解原始项目及其不同的改变，这样我们就可以将建筑改造成一个公共画廊空间和餐厅。我们的方法是制定一个计划，展示建筑的独立结构，以整合独特的开放平面空间，为建筑提供所需的灵活性，以举办不同类型的展览。在我们寻求恢复之前破碎的天花板的过程中，我们决定通过整合不同的地面和低墙来重新制定不同空间之间的空间限制。这样做的目的是整合特定的阈值，以分离不同的方案，同时在视觉上连接它们。这样，视觉上的互动总是与连续的双曲抛物面天花板保持一致，这被认为是整个空间的主要建筑特征。

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.
我们项目的美学语言显示了原始结构的粗糙，以及后续翻修的建筑特征。它剥离并展示了所有元素，旨在创造一个教学空间，在那里可以欣赏建筑及其天花板的独特建设过程。同时，天花板清楚地显示了不同的伤痕，这些伤痕暴露了建筑历史上由经济、政治和社会力量产生的多重空间分隔的痕迹。
