墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯市（Veracruz）是一个未被充分利用的公共空间，建筑师Rozana Montiel和Alvin V Wallach为它带来了新的生命，他们在广场上增加了天篷，让它免受风雨的洗礼。

An underused public space in Veracruz, Mexico, has been given new life by Rozana Montiel and Alvin V Wallach, who built a canopy over the plaza to protect it from the elements.

这个项目位于墨西哥城以东的港口城市韦拉克鲁斯，主要用于容纳现有广场上的一系列活动。

The Court project sought to accommodate a range of activities on an existing plaza at the port of Veracruz, which lies east of Mexico City on the Gulf of Mexico.

“这座广场的利用率一直不高。” Rozana Montiel Estudio de Arquitectura说，“我们建立了一个半室内的广场，有效地优化了这个有限的空间，为各种活动提供场所。”

"The court used to remain uncovered and out of use," said Rozana Montiel Estudio de Arquitectura. "We built an indoor court, efficiently optimising a very restricted space in order to generate a varied activity programme."

现有广场上部覆盖着部分坡屋顶，而另一部分则布置了休闲户外座椅和树木。

The simple pitched roof covers half of the existing plaza, leaving the other portion open for casual outdoor seating and trees.

有顶区域是一个从北向南延伸的通高空间，其中心是一个多用途的运动场，而东西两侧则相对封闭，如儿童娱乐区、活动室和浴室。

The sheltered area is a double-height space that runs from north to south. In its centre is a multi-purpose sports field, while the east and west sides contain enclosed spaces such as recreational areas for children, activity rooms, and bathrooms.

在夹层中，人们可以看到一层的活动情况。这些广场空间主要用于体育运动、儿童游戏，甚至有时还作为临时理发场所。

On the upper level, mezzanines allow the public to observe the activities happening below. Images of the space show the court being used for sports, children's games, and as an impromptu barbershop.

由于该广场靠近海边，建筑师选择了耐用、高效的材料。门廊的主要结构是钢铁，而封闭的区域则通过砖石填充。

Because of the site's proximity to the ocean, the architects needed to choose durable, efficient materials. The main structure of the portico is steel, which is filled in with bricks for areas that need to be enclosed.

建筑师还在部分区域使用了混凝土砌块，这些区域可以让光线穿过并在一天中形成不同的几何投影。

The architects also used patterned concrete blocks in certain areas, which allow air to pass through and creates geometric shadows throughout the day.

世界各地的许多建筑师都在解决城市对高质量体育基础设施的需求。法国工作室NP2F最近在巴黎一个紧凑的场地上设计了网球场和篮球场，使用网格系统来定义游乐区。在伦敦，Amanda Levete为节省空间，提出了堆叠式足球场的概念。

Architects around the world are addressing the need for high-quality sports infrastructure in cities. French studio NP2F recently installed tennis and basketball courts onto a compact Paris site, using netting to define play areas. In London, Amanda Levete has proposed a concept for stacked football pitches, which would save space.

在其他地方，Chiangmai Life Architects and Construction事务所使用弯曲的竹子建造了一个有着树冠型屋顶的体育场地，在精致的建筑旁侧还有一些阁楼空间。

Further afield, Chiangmai Life Architects and Construction built a canopy to cover a sports pitch using bent pieces of bamboo. It also includes mezzanines along the periphery of the elaborate structure.
