这是一个开放的、两阶段的设计大赛，旨在纽约州Buffalo市的弱势社区设计、建造和安装一个现代书店。


背景

据儿童读写基金会统计，中等收入家庭的儿童平均每个孩子有13本书；相反，据统计，低收入社区每300名儿童只有1本书，其中61％的家庭家里没有任何书籍。目前扫盲运动的最根本的问题可能在于，他们忽视了真正的问题，甚至转移了对于贫困儿童缺少图书的重视。

迷你自由图书馆运动将会把小型书店放置在社区，并以“借一本书，贡献一本书”为宗旨。该项目成立于2009年，现在全球已经有超过5万个迷你自由图书馆。最初，这些图书馆的设计类似于一根柱子支撑的一间小型教室，这种建筑形式已经成为独特的结构，通常其建造也会利用回收，回收或回收的材料，这一形式也得到了广泛的推广，成为一种建造风格。

图书馆可以为人们提供书籍和庇护处。尤其是对于儿童，图书馆可以作为家庭或学校以外的安全目的地。邻里图书馆的存在为我们的小型居住区提供了一个目的地和连接方式；在城市环境中聚集一堂，对孩子来说可能是不友善的。一个迷你图书馆应该成为社区的主角。


设计和制造预期

设计/制造参赛者将在规定的时间表内负责所有设计、材料选择和一个Little Free Library®的制作。首先将单一参赛者的多个设计概念相互比较，以选择最好的，以尽可能地维持图书馆的库存。这并不排除可能要求多个参赛者制作多个图书馆的情况，但是，具有多个设计的每个参赛者都应该体现他们在给定时间内制作多个图书馆的能力。


预算期望

传统的、定制的、高质量的、预制的图书馆可从Little FreeLibrary®组织以300至500美元的价格购买（作为筹款人）；半成品或某些组装所需的图书馆只需165美元。要求参赛者按目标预算300美元计算其设计总成本的估计。Buffalo建筑基金会希望选择和安装多达10个设计，因此设计希望节省成本，以便我们可以安装更多的图书馆。随着额外可用的资金增加，这个价值可能会增加。


参赛费用

AIA会员：$ 25
非会员：$ 35
学生：$ 20
多个作品参赛：每个$ 15

入场费不可退还，并在法律允许的最大程度上可以扣税。所有费用将用于支付建筑材料的费用，并将向Buffalo建筑基金会捐赠任何收益（较少附带的行政费用），以支持其服务和教育计划。如果没有在线提交，请支付给Buffalo建筑基金会支票或汇票。


奖励

每个设计团队将收到$ 300以构建和安装图书馆。


剪彩，展览和出版

BAF打算为每个图书馆进行永久性安装。

BAF将通过电子邮件、网站、Facebook和Twitter以及当地媒体公布比赛的定期更新。只要有可能，参赛者将被引用名称，任何提供的图像将被共享。

Buffalo建筑基金会与竞争赞助商一起，将邀请参赛者在一个安装的图书馆进行正式的剪彩仪式。BAF打算用当地新闻媒体宣传这一活动，并感谢参与其中的所有参赛者，包括所有选定的参赛者。

包括每个图书馆的书面描述、设计和施工过程的照片以及已安装的成品的纪念册，将在活动期间和之后提供出售。参赛者可以提前预订一本书，价格低廉。

This is an Open, Two-stage, Design Competition to design, construct, and install a contemporary book shelter in underprivileged neighborhoods in Buffalo, NY.

BACKGROUND
Children from middle income homes have, on average, 13 books per child. Conversely, it is estimated that there is only 1 book for every 300 children in low income neighborhoods and up to 61% of these families do not have any books for their kids at home [Children’s Literacy Foundation]. Perhaps the most fundamental problem with current literacy campaigns is that they ignore, and even divert attention from, the real problem: lack of access to books for children of poverty.
The Little Free Libraries movement places small-scale book shelters in neighborhoods and is based on the premise of “take a book, leave a book.” Established in 2009, there are now over 50,000 Little Free Libraries in communities worldwide. Initially crafted to resemble miniature one-room schoolhouses mounted on a pole, these libraries have become unique structures, designed and constructed in a wide range of styles, often utilizing recycled, reclaimed, or salvaged materials.
Libraries can be shelters for people, as well as books. Children, especially, rely on libraries as a safe destination outside of home or school. The presence of a neighborhood library gives our smaller residents a destination and means of connection; a gathering place in an urban environment that can be otherwise unfriendly to children. A Little Free Library should serve as an anchor for the community.

DESIGN AND FABRICATION EXPECTATIONS
Design/Build entrants will be responsible for all design, material selection, and fabrication of one Little Free Library® within the defined schedule. Multiple design concepts from a single entrant will first be judged against each other to select the strongest and then against other entries to maintain as diverse an inventory of libraries as possible. This does not preclude a situation wherein a multiple entrant may be asked to make more than one library, however, each entrant with multiple designs should indicate their ability to fabricate more than one library within the timeframe given.

BUDGET EXPECTATIONS
Traditional, custom-built, high quality, prefinished libraries are available for purchase (as a fundraiser) from the Little Free Library® organization within a price range of $300 to $500; unfinished or some assembly required libraries are available for as little as $165. Entrants are asked to include an estimate of the total cost of their designs with a target budget of $300. Buffalo Architecture Foundation is hoping to select and install up to 10 designs, so the more cost efficient the design can be, the more libraries we can afford to install. As additional funding becomes available this value may increase.

ENTRY FEES
AIA MEMBERS:  $25
NON-AIA MEMBERS:  $35
STUDENTS:  $20
MULTIPLE ENTRIES:  $15/EACH
Entry Fees are non-refundable and tax deductible to the greatest extent allowed by law.  All fees will be used to defray the costs of the building materials and any proceeds (less incidental administrative costs) will be donated to the Buffalo Architecture Foundation in support of their Service and Educational Programs.  If not submitting online, please make checks or money orders payable to the Buffalo Architecture Foundation.

PRIZES
Each design team will receive $300 to build and install its library.

RIBBON CUTTING, EXHIBITION AND PUBLICATION
BAF intends for each library to be a permanent installation.
BAF will publish regular updates on the competition via email, on their website, on Facebook and Twitter, and to local press.  Whenever possible, participants will be referenced by name and any provided images will be shared.
Buffalo Architecture Foundation, in conjunction with competition sponsors, will invite entrants to a formal ribbon cutting ceremony at one of the installed libraries.  BAF intends to promote this event with local press and will thank all parties involved in its success including all selected entrants.
A commemorative photo book including written descriptions of each library, photos of the design and construction process, along with the installed finished product will be made available for sale during and following the event.  Entrants may pre-order a book at a reduced price with entry submission.
