秘魯本地的建筑與城市規劃事務所 K + M 事務所(K+M Arquitectura y Urbanismo)設計的 “自由空間”(Espacio Libertad)項目正式完工。“自由空間”是一座紅色的木質亭閣,是專門為秘魯利馬市的一家歷史悠久的文化機構搭建的一個 “開放式舞臺”。
這座木質亭閣位于秘魯利馬市米拉弗洛雷斯區(Milaflores)的一座新古典主義宅邸后方,場地是一個 700 平方米的庭院,同時也是利馬法國文化協會(Alianza Francesa de Lima)的總部所在地。
Local studio K+M Arquitectura y Urbanismo has completed Espacio Libertad, a red timber pavilion that provides an "open stage" for a long-standing cultural institution in Lima, Peru.
The wooden pergola fills a 700-square-metre courtyard behind a neoclassical mansion in the district of Milaflores, home to the headquarters of the French cultural association Alianza Francesa de Lima.

Standing over seven metres tall and matching the roofline of its neighbour, which was given heritage status in 2007, the "contemporary shelter" also aims to give the association a new presence on the street and act as a meeting place for the Franco-Peruvian community.
The pavilion's enclosure is formed by 20 stilt-like columns running around its perimeter. A crisscrossing canopy with 14-metre wooden beams is secured to the columns with metal joints.

K + M 事務所聯合創始人Marta Morelli表示:“我們一直在尋求一種解決方式,建筑不僅是一個多功能空間,而且人們從道路角度觀測時能感受到全新的建筑立面形態。我們的策略是不觸碰現有建筑,并且引入全新的當代建筑結構。這座亭閣通過其高度以及垂直元素的節奏與相鄰建筑形成對話,且不會與之形成競爭關系。”
The structure is covered with a thick transparent polycarbonate sheet, which protects the space from sun and rain, and features curtains that can be drawn to create partitions for performances or concerts.
"We were looking for an intervention that would not only provide a multi-purpose space but also create a new facade for the building when viewed from the road", said Marta Morelli, co-founder of K+M Arquitectura y Urbanismo.
"The strategy was to not touch the existing building, but instead to introduce a new contemporary structure. The pavilion creates a dialogue with its neighbour through its height and rhythm of vertical elements, without competing with it," Morelli added.

K + M 事務所建設此項目的契機來源于一場由利馬法國文化協會舉辦的私人競賽。Morelli表示,甲方給予的設計要求很開放,他們只需將庭院改造成一個可舉辦各類活動的文化空間即可。
The pergola has been placed in the centre of a new garden, which includes paving, new planted areas and shrubs and vegetation designed to improve the "environmental quality" of the courtyard.
The structure is glued-laminated timber, made of pine imported from Chile and stained a deep red using natural oils. The colour mirrors the association's branding and architectural features in the main building, such as its exterior columns.
According to Morelli, glulam is not widely used in Perum but was chosen due to the material's longevity and limited maintenance requirements. The studio worked with timber manufacturers to hide structural reinforcements and joints in the assembly.
K+M Arquitectura y Urbanismo secured the commission after being invited to take part in a private competition run by Alianza Francesa de Lima. Morelli said the brief was open, and the studio was simply asked to adapt the courtyard into a cultural space, for various events and activities.

"This project has given birth to a new cultural hub, serving as an "open stage" – both literally and metaphorically. It not only hosts performances, plays, talks, and open-air concerts but also offers a free and open platform for a wide range of cultural and artistic interventions that might not fit within traditional venues like galleries, theatres, or concert halls", said Morelli.
"By doing so, the Espacio Libertad has exceeded expectations and enriched the cultural landscape of our city", she continued.

The existing Alianza building was constructed in 1926 and was originally used as a religious school for girls before the school moved to the outskirts of Lima. The building was sold to the association in 1974.
K+M Arquitectura y Urbanismo was founded by Marta Morelli and Sharif Kahatt in 2010 and is based in Lima. The studio has completed housing, office and cultural projects in different cities around Peru.
Recently, Roman Bauer Arquitectos renovated and expanded another cultural institution using traditional building techniques.
