The design and construction of the Children’s Library Discovery Center (CLDC) is the implementation of one of the first phases of 1100 Architect’s master plan for the renovation and modernization of the 275,000-square-foot Queens Central Library. The master plan and CLDC are part of New York City’s Design and Construction Excellence program launched by Mayor Bloomberg in 2004. The CLDC is a two-story addition adjacent to the existing Central Library building. The ground floor houses part of the children’s book collection and a designated area for toddlers. The second floor contains the majority of the children’s collection, an open reading lounge, cyber center, and activity room.
儿童图书馆探索中心的设计和施工是1100事务所对275,000平方英尺的皇后图书中心规划改造的第一部分。此处总体规划以及儿童图书馆是Mayor Bloomberg 2004年所执行的“纽约城市设计规划杰出项目”的一部分。儿童图书馆是一个紧靠着图书中心大楼的二层建筑。一楼由小部分儿童读物的储藏室和幼儿活动区组成。二楼包含了大部分儿童读物储藏室,开放式的阅读休息区和活动室。
The exterior facade of the building is composed of four different types of glass (transparent, translucent, opaque, and opaque with texture). The glowing glass facade is a beacon in the surrounding community and is elemental in increasing the library’s visibility and reintroducing it as a central cultural and social destination. Situated on a corner, the new addition takes advantage of its exposure to the street, creating a dialogue between the interior and exterior through the use of large transparent windows that also allow an abundance of natural light to enter. The perimeter wall has been thickened to incorporate quiet reading nooks and intimate social spaces.
建筑的外表面由四种不同的玻璃(透明,半透明,不透明和磨砂玻璃)。外立面的玻璃墙好似社区内的灯塔,并且有力增加了图书馆的通透性,使其重新成为此地社会文化中心。将它建在街角,使它显露于街道上,通过透明的窗户让充足的阳光射入室内,并以此增强了室内外的对话。周边的墙体被加厚,满足了安静阅读和私密社交空间的需要。
The CLDC was designed to be a part of the Central Library and as such has no independent exterior entrance. The interior facade, located where the CLDC meets the existing library, is treated analogous to the exterior facade and contains inhabitable niches and windows that provide views in and out of the children’s library. Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership (LHSA+DP) designed the colorful graphics that help identify the CLDC as a special place within the larger library.
儿童图书馆被设计成图书中心的一部分而没有单独的外入口。内部墙面连接了儿童图书馆和图书中心,和外立面类似,包含了适合工作的位置和引入内外景色的窗户。建筑师Lee H. Skolnick 和合作伙伴一同设计了五颜六色的图案来帮助区分儿童图书馆。
The folded planes of the acoustical plaster ceiling imbue the space with a regular rhythm and sense of scale. Openings for air distribution are incorporated into intentional gaps where the ceiling planes shift, merging a design concept with a functional requirement. The stair acts as a sculptural element in the space and is strategically placed opposite the entrance portal to make all visitors aware that the children’s library occupies two floors and to encourage the use of stairs rather than the elevators.
拥有反射声音效果的折叠式天花板用富有韵律的节奏和尺度感充满了整个空间。为了使室内空气流通,在天花板变化的地方制造出裂缝,为了功能需要而整合了设计理念。楼梯作为雕塑式的元素存在于空间之中并故意放在与入口相反的地方,以此来提醒参观者儿童图书馆包含两层楼,并建议使用楼梯而非电梯。
1100 Architect collaborated with LHSA+DP to createa hybrid science museum and children’s library. Phenomena based exhibits are ondisplay in science-themed “plazas” dispersed throughout the library andintegrated into the stacks. These displays provide children with a stimulatingand experiential learning environment. The tabletop interactive exhibits,designed around children’s literacy, science, technology, and math, wereinspired by input from experts in the field of interactive scientificchildren’s exhibits at the Exploratorium, the New York Hall of Science, and theBrooklyn Children’s Museum. They were developed and built by the Exploratorium. 1100事务所和LHSA+DP合作设计了混合科学博物馆和儿童图书馆。这种以“广场” 为主题的科学展览遍布整个图书馆并被整理在书架上。这些展览给孩子们带来了刺激而又富有经验的学习环境。这些围绕着文学,科学,技术和数学的桌面互动展览是由参与设计“儿童科学展览”,“纽约科学殿堂”以及“布鲁克林儿童博物馆”的专家提出。它们都是由探索馆发展建造的。
The CLDC is expected to achieve a minimum of LEED Silver certification. The sustainable design strategy consists of utilizing a high-performance facade, 100% fresh air, energy-efficient artificial lighting, radiant floor heating, recycled and low-emitting materials, and daylight. Green education graphics distributed throughout the library provide information on sustainable features such as the use of recycled materials and energy efficiency.
儿童图书馆探索中心希望取得绿色环保证书。这种可循环设计由高能墙面,百分百清新的空气,人工节能照明,地板放热系统,可回收低辐射材料和自然光组成。绿色环保节能的图标分布在整个图书馆的各个位置。
