长形声明：种植在沙滩上的阳伞，陆地上的一条热带鱼，富兰克林山脚下的一个帐篷：这个繁茂的表面有多种伪装。侯爵是埃尔帕索西边游泳馆的空间入口结构。一个视觉图标和建筑门槛，轻量级铝结构改变了这一新公共建筑的方式和经验。网格状曲线板由色彩鲜艳的天篷和它的自力结构系统组成。
Long Form Statement A parasol planted in the sand, a tropical fish on land, a tent at the foot of Franklin Mountains: this exuberant surface assumes multiple guises. Marquise is a spatial entry structure for El Paso’s Westside Natatorium. A visual icon and architectural threshold, the lightweight aluminum structure transforms the approach and experience of this new public building. Gridded curvilinear panels comprise the brightly-colored canopy and as well its self-supporting structural system.
Shapes Layout
形状布局
以深蓝和温暖的黄色为代表的双向柴郡梯度以图形形式交替，以强调扫地的表面。表面看起来被风吹胀，如帐篷或帆，超薄的表面从地面上翻滚，形成两个相连的座椅：在适当的地方铸造混凝土元素，继承面但流动表面的复合曲率。
A two-way Cheshire gradient in deep blues and warm yellows alternate graphically to emphasize the sweeping surfaces. Seemingly inflated by the wind, as a tent or sail, the ultra-thin surface billows up from the ground, where it forms two contiguous seats: cast in place concrete elements that inherit the compound curvature of the faceted but flowing surface.
马奎斯对游客的打击是不同的：对于排队上游泳课的小客人来说，头顶上似乎是马戏团的帐篷或半空中冻结的降落伞。在该穿衣服之前有点兴奋。年长的顾客可能会在这个阴凉的入口处停下来，在水上有氧运动或回到停车场的热度前停下来。
Marquise strikes its visitors differently: for small guests lining up for swimming lessons, the surface overhead appears to be some kind of circus tent or a parachute frozen in midair. A bit of excitement before it’s time to suit up. Older patrons might find a welcome moment of pause at this shady entrance, before water aerobics or head back into the heat of the parking lot.
在星星点点的灯光下，我们开辟了一个不只是来来去去的地方，而是一个挥之不去的地方。在所有的时间里，侯爵下面和周围的空间欢迎那些延伸到更长时间的时刻。当你在等待你的骑行或与游泳队见面时，游泳馆外面是一个在游泳前放松一下的地方。早上6点之前，到黄昏后，侯爵交替为泳池和所有其他人提供阴影和辐射。这个建筑几乎坚持闲逛-你为什么不想在那里闲逛呢？
Under the dappled light, we've carved out a place that isn't just for coming or going, but for lingering. At all hours, the space under and around Marquise welcomes moments that stretch into longer durations. When you're waiting for your ride or meeting the swim team, outside the Natatorium is a place to chill out before dipping in. Before 6 am laps to after dusk, Marquise alternately shades and radiates for pool-goers and all others. The structure almost insists upon loitering -- why wouldn’t you want to hang out there?
