美国Woodhouse Tinucci 设计事务所在芝加哥大学约瑟夫·雷根斯坦（Joseph Regenstein）图书馆改造了一个阅览室，这是1970年代由Skidmore、Owings和Merrill设计的建筑。

US firm Woodhouse Tinucci Architects has spruced up a reading room in the University of Chicago's Joseph Regenstein Library, a 1970s building originally designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

该项目总计18000平方英尺（1672平方米），该项目需要将粗野主义风格的地面阅览室改造为更适合小组会议和学习的空间。这个空间以前由隔断、文件柜和过时的书桌进行分割。

Totalling 18,000 square feet (1,672 square metres), the project entailed transforming a ground-level reading room of the brutalist library into a space more suitable for group meetings and study sessions. The space formerly was dominated by cubicles, filing cabinets and outdated study desks.

“芝加哥大学约瑟夫·雷根斯坦（ Joseph Regenstein）图书馆是世界上最伟大的学术图书馆之一，但它缺乏当今最有活力的重要组成部分——一个协作学习中心，让学生可以以互动小组的形式共同工作。”来自Woodhouse Tinucci Architects的说明。

当地的公司也曾在西北大学和芝加哥伊利诺伊大学进行图书馆改造工作。

"The University of Chicago's Joseph Regenstein Library is one of the great academic libraries of the world, but it lacked an important component of today's most dynamic learning environments – a collaborative learning centre where students can work together in interactive groups," said Woodhouse Tinucci Architects.
The local firm has also worked on library renovations at Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Regenstein图书馆于1970年开放，以工业家和慈善家Joseph Regenstein命名。它是由沃尔特•奈奇（Walter Netsch），SOM的合作伙伴设计的，以科特迪瓦斯普林斯（美国空军基地）为标志性作品。

The Regenstein Library opened in 1970 and was named after industrialist and philanthropist Joseph Regenstein. It was designed by Walter Netsch, a partner at SOM known for iconic works such as the Cadet Chapel as the US Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.

根据数据显示，这个577085平方英尺（53612平方米）的建筑拥有超过450万册书，是世界上最大的图书馆之一。其独特的外部包层由石灰石板块形成。

The 577,085-square-foot (53,612-square-metre) facility contains over 4.5 million print volumes, making it one of the largest book repositories in the world, according to the university. Its distinctive exterior cladding is formed from scored limestone slabs.

Woodhouse Tinucci 设计事务所设法保留阅览室的原始特征，包括其厚实的混凝土柱，同时更新现代使用的空间。

该公司表示：“我们的创新设计通过创造充满活力的开放式学习空间，更新Netsch的原始功能风格，使其更好地迎合今天协作学习的需要。”

Woodhouse Tinucci Architects sought to preserve the reading room's original character, including its thick concrete columns, while updating the space for modern use.
"[Our] innovative designs update Netsch's signature raw, functional style by creating vibrant, open learning areas better suited to today's more collaborative style of learning," the firm said.

最重要的举措是创建一个开放的中央区域，由配有白板、照明和电源连接的可移动面板分隔。

提供一系列不同的座位，包括带桌子的休闲椅和高档酒吧。

The most significant move was creating an open, central area that is divided up by movable panels fitted with whiteboards, lighting and power connections.
A range of seating types are offered, including lounge chairs with low tables and stools lining a high bar.

沿着房间的一边伸展，是一个无竖框的玻璃墙，这样的设计“打开外面凹陷花园的空间，将外部的阳光引入室内”。

另一面墙上装有方形空间，作为集体聚会的私人场所。

Stretching along one side of the room is a mullion-free glass wall that is intended to "open the space to the sunken garden outside and pull its daylight deep inside".
Another wall is lined with square pods that serve as more private areas for group gatherings.

该项目的未来阶段要求一个36座的数字教室和一个称为The Egg的实验区。

虽然Regenstein图书馆仍然在积极使用，芝加哥的其他粗野主义建筑也没有如此好。2013年，由Bertrand Goldberg以及其合伙人设计的Prentice妇女医院被拆毁，用来为新设施铺路。

Future phases of the project call for a 36-seat digital classroom and an experimental area called The Egg.
While the Regenstein Library is still in active use, other brutalist buildings in Chicago have not fared so well. In 2013, the Prentice Women's Hospital, designed by Bertrand Goldberg & Associates, was demolished to make way for a new facility.
