荷兰Mecanoo建筑事务所在挪威康斯堡完成了图书文化中心的设计。在该建筑中心内，混凝土楼梯有的沿着四面墙壁盘旋而上，有的横穿整个中庭。

Dutch firm Mecanoo has completed a library and cultural centre in Kongsberg, Norway, which centres around an atrium with concrete staircases running across its walls and through its centre.

Mecanoo也是欧洲最大的公共图书馆，事务所开发了KRONA知识和文化中心，以满足当地社区对于各种公共设施的需求。

Mecanoo – which was also behind Europe's largest public library – developed the KRONA Knowledge and Cultural Centre to accommodate a variety of public functions required by the local community.

这座24,000平方米的建筑涵盖了比斯克鲁德大学和Tinius Olsen职业技术学院新的科教实验设施。

它还提供了一座技术大学图书馆、公共图书馆、电影院、委员会办公室和剧院礼堂。

The 24,000-square-metre building contains new teaching and technical laboratory facilities for Buskerud University College and Tinius Olsen Technical Vocational College.
It also provides a technical university library, a public library, cinemas, council offices and a theatre auditorium.

建筑的布局是为了引导参观者进入多功能中庭。

“利用微妙的景观立面和策略性的入口定位，参观者可以直接被吸引进建筑中庭，” Mecanoo说。

“在整个室内空间中，公共功能空间在视觉上强烈的联系进一步加强了建筑群中间的生气和活力。”

The layout of the building is intended to draw visitors towards the multipurpose atrium.
"Using subtle landscape elevations and strategically locating programme access points, visitors intuitively gravitate towards the centre," said Mecanoo.
"Throughout the interior spaces, strong visual connections to public functions further enhance the liveliness of the complex."

中庭顶部采用了巨大的天窗，创造了明亮的环境，四面的墙壁上也装饰着竖向的木条板。

一座混凝土楼梯悬挑着穿过整个空间，其余的楼梯都沿着四面的墙壁布置。不同的楼层上还设置了一些楼梯以俯瞰整个空间。

This space is brightly lit, thanks to a large skylight, and features walls covered with vertical wooden battens.
A concrete staircase is suspended diagonally across the centre of the space, while other staircases run along the walls. There are also balconies overlooking the space from several different floors.

中庭和楼梯平台上设置了一些座椅，可供非正式的工作和社交场合使用。

Tables and chairs set up in the atrium and the surrounding landings offer opportunities for informal working or socialising.

其他建筑空间在设计时重点考虑了灵活性，比如大学食堂在晚上也可以用作咖啡馆使用。

公共图书馆可以用作剧场的大厅，艺术画廊可以作为电影中心的酒吧。

Other spaces in the building designed with flexibility in mind include the university canteen, which becomes a cafe in the evening.
The public library also functions as a foyer for the theatre and the art gallery serves as the film centre's bar.

建筑中心的几个礼堂被设计成可以重组的，并用作多种用途，包括演讲、表演、音乐会、接待和会议。

Several auditoria at the centre of the complex are designed to be reconfigurable and can therefore be used for various purposes, including lectures, performances, concerts, receptions and meetings.

“这些娱乐空间尽可能设计得灵活，”建筑师补充道，“因此也营造了充满活力、公共的氛围，同时也连接了康斯堡的历史文脉。”

"These entertainment spaces are designed to be as open and flexible as possible," the architects added, "yet also create a vibrant, social atmosphere, and a connection to Kongsberg's historical context."

KRONA紧邻挪威最古老的大学建筑，地理位置极具历史意义，因此它的设计也回应了这个敏感的文脉。

建筑从东侧的缓坡升起，其金属玻璃立面上覆盖了竖向的木板条，呼应了当地的建筑形式。

KRONA is situated in a historically significant area next to Norway's oldest university building, and its design was developed in response to this sensitive context.
Emerging from a gentle slope on its eastern edge, the building's metal and glass facades are covered with vertical wooden fins that reference the local architecture.

建筑正对Hasebergtjerndalen公园的一侧，阳台提供了户外表演的空间，而圆形的剧场则融入了建筑前方的场地中。

Where it faces the adjacent Hasebergtjerndalen park, a balcony provides space for outdoor performances and an amphitheatre is carved into the landscape in front of the building.

在东侧，KRONA正对现有的教堂广场，该公共区域一直延续到建筑中心的公共图书馆和大学图书馆。

室内外公共空间的联系通过不断应用的相同的石材地板进行强调。

To the east, KRONA faces the existing church square and this public realm continues into the centre of the building, where the public and university libraries are located.
The connection between internal and external public space is accentuated by the continuous application of the same stone flooring.

Mecanoo事务所正在进行华盛顿马丁路德金纪念图书馆的翻新工作，之前也负责了纽约公共图书馆的翻新工作（在Foster + Partners事务所的方案被取消后）。
