赫尔佐格和德梅隆事务所发布了以色列国家图书馆的一些新的效果图。国家图书馆坐落于耶路撒冷西部，紧邻以色列国会大厦以及以色列博物馆、科学博物馆和希伯来大学。

Herzog & de Meuron have released new images of their design for National Library of Israel. Located on a prominent site in West Jerusalem, the National Library is at the base of the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) and adjacent to the Israel Museum, Science Museum and Hebrew University.

这座六层楼的建筑有三大特色——曲线感、抬升的形体和悬挑的体量。建筑立面全部由耶路撒冷大理石覆盖，以此创建统一的表面，而木材则用在建筑的基部。按照建筑师的说法，这样做一方面能对比表现出建筑的厚重感，同时又从人的尺度上展现更多的细节，来回应当地自古以来木质建筑的传统。该项目在这个月初刚完成奠基仪式，预计在2020年建成。

The building has a six-story profile that is curved, elevated and cantilevered. It is faced in Jerusalemlimestone that has been ground, cast, and chipped to create a uniform surface. Wood is used at the building’s base, and according to the architects, “interrupts the massiveness of the structure… [and] brings a human scale and detail to the pedestrian experience while linking the building to timber traditions important to the local vernacular from ancient to early modern times.” The project, slated for completion in 2020, had a cornerstone laying ceremony earlier this month.

建筑从外观上分为三部分：底部玻璃窗，加上形成建筑接待空间的透明开放的框架结构；雕刻的石板营造的曲线的体量——强调出该项目三角形的空间，使得建筑看上去别具一格，同时又尊重其周围环境；“书井”——由一系列圆形中庭组成，顶部开有圆形天窗。

The design is broken into three distinct regions: vitrines, five-transparent openings that frame the building's reception at ground level; carved stone, the curvaceous upper-volume that emphasizes the triangular shape of the plan and makes the building prominent, but also respectful of its surroundings; book well, a punch of offset concentric circles passing through each floor of the building and culminating in a skylight.

“我们的设计充分展现了国家图书馆应有的气势和雄心，”建筑师说到，“这座图书馆根植于基地和城市的传统，却又呈现了开放和透明的状态。在过去，书籍被储藏在建筑的中心。而我们力求在传统和现代文化科技中寻找平衡。可以看到，书籍依旧是建筑的根本，从中心天井可以看到所有的藏书。那些玻璃橱窗元素组成了头两层的空间，并且向外界展现图书馆内部的活动。而建筑顶部空间则由雕刻的大理石连接在一起，以展现耶路撒冷历史建筑的庄严感。”

"Our design responds to the context and reflects the ambitions of the National Library of Israel," say the architects. "It is open and transparent but grounded in the traditions of great libraries and the city itself. As in the past, books will remain at the center. They form a foundation and necessary balance against constant technological change. Books root the building to the ground and are visible to all in a central void. Vitrine-like elements form the bottom two floors and display the library’s content and activities to the street. Above, a carved space containing stone binds the project together and reflects the massive quality ofJerusalem’s historical architecture."
