Hunters Point Library / Steven Holl Architects

由专筑网小R，王雪纯编译

来自建筑事务所的描述：这座建筑位于东河沿岸，周边是鳞次栉比的摩天大楼，建筑面积为22000平方英尺（约2044平方米），作为长岛猎人角的公共建筑和公园，优化了整个社区空间。猎人角图书馆的设计方案并没有将公共空间与高楼结合在一起，项目整体占地面积较小，大约为32000平方英尺（约2972平方米），给当地社区带来了大量的绿色场所，让建筑融入周围的公园之中。

Text description provided by the architects. Located on a prominent site along the East River, against the backdrop of rapidly built skyscraper condominiums, the 22,000 square foot Queens Public Library at Hunters Point stands as a public building and public park, bringing community-devoted space to the Long Island City waterfront. Resisting recent trends of incorporating public libraries and much-needed social space within high- end residential towers, the Hunters Point Library stands independently, rising with a minimal footprint on its 32,000 square foot site to offer maximum surrounding green space to the local community and becoming an integrated part of the vibrant public park that lines the river’s edge.



建筑的垂直结构体系是对传统的图书馆模式的新诠释，这里不仅有私密的阅览区，也有活跃的交流空间，构成了空间的多样性特征。这座建筑的铝制混凝土立面不仅仅只是个外观体系，同时也是建筑的承重结构，这样能够减少许多幕墙和支柱，让空间更加宽敞。建筑的立面通过切割的方式构成切口，展示了内部的人员流动，同时也给人们带来了曼哈顿的天际线视野。

The vertical structure reimagines the traditional library model, providing a diversity of spaces from intimate reading areas to active gathering spaces. The building’s aluminum-painted concrete shell is not just a facade but a load-bearing structure, which omits curtain walls and columns. Sculpted cuts are carved out of the facade, showing the movement of people within and framing expansive views of the Manhattan skyline.







图书馆中分为儿童区、青年区、成人区，建筑的东侧立面的雕刻开口就能够看到不同的空间分区，其中一个立面面向不同的分区开放，但是建筑内部的划分较为灵活。在建筑内部，暖色的竹子构成了具有吸引力的社交空间，给不同年龄段的人带来了活动场所。自然光通过大窗户进入室内，保持了空间的活力。

The program's separation into children's area, teen area, and adult area can be read in the sculpted cuts of the east face of the building, one facade opening for each area; yet the programmatic divisions are fluid. Inside, warm bamboo creates an inviting social space, open to the community and offering engaging spaces for all ages. Natural light enters through the large windows from all sides, animating the space.





电子书与纸质书通过书架和相邻的数字工作区结合在一起，而这些数字工作区沿着一系列的开放式楼梯而排布。位于主要空间的地面层礼堂可以用于公共会议和各项活动。楼梯空间在各个夹层之间构成联系，连接了阅读区域。使用者在屋顶平台上，还能够看到城市与河流美景。

The digital and the book are merged through the bookshelves and adjacent digital workstations that flow upward along with a series of open stairs. A ground-level auditorium under the main section provides public meeting and events space. The stairs switch back from the mezzanine to the mezzanine, connecting reading areas and concluding in a rooftop reading terrace with views of the city and the river.



建筑的规划较为紧凑，但是布局空间十分开放，同时有着高效节能的设计策略和大片的公共绿地。在建筑的东部入口，图书馆面向阅读花园开放，其旁边是低矮的办公部分，这里有着一片银杏树。每到夜晚，猎人角图书馆的灯光会沿着河畔与“百事可乐”的品牌标识以及“长岛”标识结合在一起，共同成为社区的璀璨夜景。

While the plan is compact, the building section of the new library is open and flowing to allow for the most energy-efficient design and the greatest amount of public green space on the site. On the east entrance side, the library faces a reading garden bordered by a low park office pavilion with a bosque of ginkgo trees.  At night the glowing presence of the Hunters Point Library along the waterfront joins the Pepsi sign and the "Long Island" sign at the old Gantry to become a beacon for this new community place.
