The program for the new municipal social services center inMóstoles, Madrid, has two strong advantages. On the one hand beinga building of multiple identical spaces, situated within the weftof a new area of urban expansion, without conditions beyond that ofthe street and solar orientation. On the other hand, therelationship of the building with the environment, is based on asituation of respect for the environment that has little to do withtechnological systems, but with proven logic. While, the program ofuses appears in the best way possible to optimize routes and togenerate a compact building that permits simple maintenance withoutexpense.

　　The first procedure of the design that was undertaken waslightening the building volume by removing mass to create exteriorspaces. Through a process of extraction, these exterior volumeswere created to provide multifunctional public or private outsidespaces, like outdoor rooms for recreation. The second procedureinvolved inserting a representative volume that connected thepassageway and the multifunctional room. Both pieces appear as aunique volume and a continuous, flexible space, that permitscolored light to penetrate into the space from the large openvolumes. This is the core of the project and its image. The thirdprocedure wrapped the building in a thin regulatory skin thatgenerates a thermal and solar buffer whilst maintaining internalvisual privacy without hindering external views.

　　新建的馬德里莫斯托萊斯社會服務中心有兩大優(yōu)勢：一方面，莫斯托萊斯坐落于城市擴展區(qū)的西部，是一座有著多個相同空間的大廈，置身于一個新的、統(tǒng)一的城市肌理內(nèi)部；另一方面，建筑與周圍環(huán)境的關系基于對周圍環(huán)境的尊重，這種尊重是通過傳統(tǒng)的手段實現(xiàn)的，而非先進的技術手段。同時，從用途來看，該項目以最佳的方式優(yōu)化了路線，使整個建筑結構顯得十分緊湊，同時也使大樓的維護變得簡單。

　　該設計的第一步是減輕建筑體量，從而創(chuàng)造大樓的外部空間。通過抽取，將這些外部空間轉(zhuǎn)化為多功能的公共或私人戶外空間，比如室外娛樂空間。第二步是插入一個有代表性的體量，連接通道和多功能活動室。這兩種方案均能體現(xiàn)出空間的獨特性、持久性和可變通性，也能讓開放空間里五顏六色的燈光穿透到各個空間，這也是該項目及其形象的核心。第三步是將大樓包裹在一層可調(diào)控的薄皮之中，它不僅能產(chǎn)生熱量還能緩沖太陽能，在保證內(nèi)部視覺隱私的同時也不阻礙外部的視野。
