架构师提供的文本描述。这是一座14层，15，000平方米的混合用途大楼：商业大楼在下一层，办公室在接下来的四层，住宅单元在接下来的九层。

Text description provided by the architects. It is a 14 story, 15,000 m2 mixed use building: commercial on the lower floor, offices for the next four floors and residential units on the next nine floors. 

该建筑位于城市内一个重要的十字路口，城市元素在此汇合，例如一个新的地铁站、一个重要的政府大楼、一个商业购物中心和一个最具象征意义的城市公园。这座建筑是这一地区的第一座新建筑，非常显眼，它试图通过带来新的阴影、反射和观点的运动，将许多现有的和新的不同元素结合起来。

The building is located at an important intersection within the city where urban elements converge, such as a new metro stop, an important government building, a commercial shopping center and the most emblematic park of the city. Being the first new construction in this zone and highly visible, the building attempts to combine the many existing and new diverse elements through movements that bring new shadow lines  reflections and points of view.

在寻找立面的空间财富元素时，这是通过一个设计概念来实现的，该设计概念消除了建筑物的战略角落。其中，产生双重和三重高度空间，其中全景视觉连接到整个城市，管理激活这些外部区域，传统上是死的，并用不同的社会程序来替换它们。

In the search for spatial wealth elements of the facade were eliminated, this is achieved by a design concept that removes strategic corners of the building. Where double and triple height spaces are generated.  Where panoramic visual connections to the entire city, manage to activate these exterior areas traditionally dead, and replacing them with different social programs.

建筑物顶部的这些新的外部区域利用了公园全年盛行的视觉和极好的赤道气候。建筑物周围的深周阳台有助于减少室内空间的太阳能增益，允许在外墙使用更大比例的玻璃，而不牺牲被动的气候控制空间。

These new exterior areas at the top of the building take advantage of the park's visual and excellent equatorial climate that prevails throughout the year. Deep perimeter balconies around the building help to reduce solar gain in the interior spaces allowing for the use of larger portions of glass in the façade, without sacrificing passive climate controlled spaces. 

这座建筑有一个巨大的屋顶花园，它与周围的安第斯山脉形成了视觉联系，同时也为建筑物的居民创造了可用的绿色空间。

The building contains a large roof garden that makes a visual connection with the surrounding Andes Mountains while creating usable green space for the building’s residents. 

建筑物的外墙采用了一种被称为玻璃纤维增强混凝土(GFRC)的材料工艺。模具的制作与建筑师的数字模型和制作者的工作车间密切合作，以提供准确和良好的协调过程。然后将混凝土材料喷在模具上，形成最终产品。

The façade of the building uses a material process known as GFRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete).  Molds were made in close collaboration with the architect’s digital model and the fabricators work shop to provide accurate and a well coordinated process. The concrete material in then sprayed onto the molds to create the final product.

建筑的设计和施工过程使用可重复的图案系统，以减少用于创建动态建筑立面的模具总数。这种材料的优点是安装效率高，因为面板是4米乘2米高。模具也可以被重复使用，减少了材料的使用和制造时间。在安装过程中还设计和内置了一个可调节的金属连接系统，允许复杂的形式很容易地对齐。最后的产品是一个连续的动态外观系统。

The design and the construction process of the building utilizes a repeatable patterning system to reduce the overall amount of molds used in creating the dynamic building facade. Advantages of this material are efficiency of installation, as panels are fabricated up to 4 meters by 2 meters tall. Molds are also able to be reused, reducing the material used and fabrication time.  Also designed and built into the installation process is a system of adjustable metallic connections allowing the complex forms to align with ease. The final product is a continuous dynamic façade system.

Leppanen Anker建筑师、开发商和建筑商、Uribe之间的协调

The coordination between the Leppanen + Anker Architects, the developer and builder, Uribe & Schwarzkopf, was vital for the development of the GAIA building, resulting in a new landmark for the city, a new architectural and constructive reference, which is incorporated enriching urban life and local architecture, in the Ecuadorian capital.
