新西兰Redcliffs乡村图书馆

本文对项目的描述来自于建筑事务所。 Redcliffs乡村图书馆是一个由社区志愿者管理的图书馆，该图书馆是将新西兰基督城市议会所拥有的一栋建筑改造而成。

该建筑在受到地震破坏之后,通过社区的推动和引导完成了重建工作，事务所的建筑师也同他们进行了密切的合作，并且也满足了基督城市议会对于新建筑应具有可持续性的要求。

该社区需要一个造价合理的图书馆建筑，同时也能为召开社区会议提供空间。

市议会需要该建筑保持较低的维护成本，并且提高其使用效率。

Text description provided by the architects.
The Redcliffs Village Library is a volunteer library run by the community, in a building that is owned by the Christchurch City Council.
The rebuild of the earthquake damaged building was driven by the community, and we worked very closely with them, as well as meeting the Christchurch City Council’s requirements for the sustainability of the new building.
The community needed an affordable library building that also provided space for community meetings.
The City Council required the building to be low maintenance and efficient.

该建筑的构造与意向也与图书馆密切相关。
-屋顶及其覆层代表了布满灰层的书本封面，曲线泛水代表着书脊和书的边缘。
-建筑白色的末端代表了书页。
-面对主要道路的立面有着清晰的竖条划分，这样做有两个目的：

• 这样的立面比半透明的聚碳酸酯具有更高的透明度，当新的来访者到来并通过这里时能够让图书馆的管理人员提前知晓。
• 另外，它同样也代表了一本书中的空白页，如果书本是靠书脊而得以站立，那么对于这栋建筑的形式而言也是同样的道理。
  

The architecture of the building is full of metaphors associated with the library and its contents
-The roofing and cladding represents the dust cover of a book, with the spine and edge reflected in the curved flashings.        
-The white ends of the building represent the pages of a book.
-The clear strip on the Main Road elevation has two purposes:

• It gives more transparency than the semi-opaque polycarbonate, telegraphing a new visitors arrival as they move past it
• It also represents the gap in the pages of a book, if the book was stood up on its edge in a similar way to the form of the building

临街的由聚碳酸酯构成的山墙面由背部光源进行照明，在夜晚就像灯塔一样散发出独特的光芒。从某种意义上来说，灯塔是一种象征：

• 它具有引导性，并且能够使人们有能力抵御狂风暴雨
• 而这座图书馆则是照亮文明和教育之路的灯塔
  

-The polycarbonate street gable is back-lit to glow at night time, in a similar way to a lighthouse. In this sense, the lighthouse symbolizes:

• Guidance, and the ability to weather a storm
• A beacon of civilisation and education

接待柜台的设计象征了两本书的连接扣。

-The reception counter is designed to represent books between two book ends.
