Snøhetta designs Temple University's Charles Library with "unusual geometry"
由专筑网小R，王雪纯编译
Snøhetta事务所为费城天普大学设计了一座有着弯曲的木质入口的图书馆。
Charles图书馆共4层，位于费城北部，坐落在校园的核心位置，其南侧是商学院，东面是科学与工程大楼。
Curved wooden entrances are carved into this university library that Snøhetta has completed for Temple University in Philadelphia.
The four-storey Charles Library in North Philadelphia is sited in the heart of the university's campus, with the business school to the south and the science and engineering buildings east.
这座图书馆为长方形，面积220000平方英尺（约20438平方米），其底部为花岗岩，上部则是玻璃。
三个不同的拱形设计标志着建筑的独立入口，其中两个入口位于北侧，另外一个则延伸在西面。入口都覆盖着木材，这样让建筑看起来就如同“切割的石块”。
Rectangular in plan, the library building measures 220,000 square feet (20,438 square metres) and has a split-faced granite volume at its base and a glass volume on top.
Three different arched designs mark separate entrances to the building, including two on the north side, and a longer one stretches the west side of the project. All are covered in wood, which is intended to give the effect that they are "cut into the stone volume".
Snøhetta事务所与Stantec工程公司共同完成了这座图书馆，建筑师说：“建筑的拱形入口和广场欢迎人们进入室内。”
大面积的玻璃幕墙有着永恒的意味，建筑的顶部也完全由玻璃包裹而成，“建筑独特的几何表达方式也代表了其特质。”
"The building's arched entries and expansive plazas extend a welcoming invitation to all visitors," said Snøhetta, which completed the library with engineering firm Stantec.
Large expanses of glass feature elsewhere for constant, including its top floor that is wrapped entirely in glazing. "Its unusual geometry expresses a distinct identity," the firm added.
三层高的中庭和大堂构成了建筑的地面层，这里同样覆盖着木材，从而呼应了外部特征。建筑室内倾斜的白色支柱支撑着雪松木天花板。
建筑师认为：“大堂的穹顶中庭给师生带来宽敞的视野，这里也成为了图书馆的核心部分。”
A triple-height atrium and lobby define the ground floor, and are also covered in wood to match the exterior accents. Slanting white pillars support the cedar-clad ceiling, are are positioned inwards from curtain walls.
"The lobby's domed atrium offers views to every corner of the building, serving as a wayfinding anchor and placing the user at the center of the library's activity," said the firm.
地面层的木质穹顶天花板上有着圆形的裂缝，其名为“oculus”。这个空腔一直延伸到建筑的顶部楼层，在那里建筑师应用了大型的玻璃窗。
Charles图书馆的规模是原来天普大学Paley图书馆的两倍，这座老图书馆建造于上世纪60年代，图书馆的扩建目的是容纳更多的学生与周围居民，同时也能收藏更多的书籍。
From the ground floor is a round crevice carved into the wooden dome ceiling, called an "oculus". The hollow design reaches to the top floor of the building, where it i wrapped by huge window.
Charles Library is over double the size of Temple University's former Paley library, which was built in the 1960s. The expansion of the facility is intended to accommodate college students and Philadelphia residents, as well as a large amount of books.
地面层的三分之一空间都应用于自动检索与存储体系（ASRS），该体系名为“BookBot”，其规模大约有两层楼高。这个57英尺（约17米）高的空间使得图书馆能够容纳150万册书籍，曾经这些书籍只能收藏于校园之外。
建筑师认为：“BookBot能够大幅度地减少收藏图书所需要的空间，同时增加了藏书的借阅范围，该体系还提升了合作学习、学术交流、资源共享，以及个人学习的空间。”
Over one-third of the ground floor is dedicated to an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) called BookBot, which scales the two floors above as well. The 57-foot-high (17-metre-high) space allows for the college library to house 1.5 million volumes, which were previously located off-campus.
"By drastically reducing the space required for book storage while also expanding access to the Library's collection, the BookBot enables increased space for collaborative learning, academic resources, and individual study space," Snøhetta said.
进入建筑之后首先映入眼帘的是服务台和大堂，另外一个空间则是24小时开放的咖啡厅、展厅、活动空间、阅览室、办公室等等，人们会通过一架钢楼梯去往图书馆的剩余楼层。
在一层设置有电脑实验室、书写中心、学习区、教学区、办公区等等。二层则包含有天普大学新闻办公室、学习区、员工办公室、Loretta C Duckworth Scholars工作室、阅览室等等，在这个楼层同时还设置有数字制造和技术区域。
Upon entering is a service desk and lobby, another space that is open 24/7, a cafe, an exhibition area, event space, reading room and offices. A steel-clad staircase leads from here up to the library's remaining three levels.
A computer lab, writing centre, tutor area, instruction room and offices are located on the first floor. The second level contains Temple University Press office, more space for tutoring, a staff lounge, the Loretta C Duckworth Scholars Studio, offices and reading rooms. Also on this floor is access to digital fabrication and technologies.
图书馆大楼中有40多间会议室和学习室，室内空间呈现为白色，并且有着充足的自然采光，其地面为灰色，并且配有绿色、红色、橙色的椅子。
建筑的三层周围包裹着玻璃幕墙，这里是图书馆的主要空间，在南侧和北侧分别设置阅览区，私人学习室则位于周围。
Over 40 meeting rooms and study spaces are located within the library building. Interiors are white with ample natural light, grey floors and chairs in green, red and orange for colour.
The third floor is wrapped in glass walls and serves as the main library space. At the north and south ends are reading spaces, while private study rooms are positioned along the perimeter.
50多排浅绿色存储空间横跨顶部楼层的方形核心部分，其中大约容纳了20万本书籍。
Charles图书馆有着面积为47300平方英尺（4394平方米）的绿色屋面，人们在顶部楼层就能够看到这个区域。这个绿色屋面“让人感觉仿佛置身于大自然之中”。
Over 50 rows of pale green storage volumes span the centre of the rectangular top floor and house roughly 200,000 books.
Charles Library is complete with a green roof that measures 47,300 square feet (4,394 square metres), and is visible from almost everywhere on the top level. The green roof "offers an unexpected retreat that feels embedded in nature," said Snøhetta.
“这就像是草原景观，许多植物生长于阅览花园之中，一年之中盛开的花朵为这里点缀了丰富的色彩。”
大约15种不同的植物种植于屋面上，让这里成为了“植物的城市栖息地”。屋顶还设置有雨水管理系统，能够回收再利用雨水，在地下也设置了两个集水区，在暴雨期间也能够很好地管理雨水。
"Conceived as an amplified meadow landscape, ornamental grasses and herbaceous perennials form the foundation of these reading gardens, through which drifts of curated flowering species and bulbs emerge punctuating color and interest throughout the year," it added.
Around 15 different plant species are planted on the roof, making it a "rich urban habitat for pollinators". The roof is also designed to accommodate stormwater management system for Temple University, with two catchment basins located underground that can store and process nearly half a million gallons of rainwater during storms.
Snøhetta事务所分别位于纽约和奥斯陆，该事务所在北美设计了一些图书馆，其中有Calgary中央图书馆、多伦多Ryerson大学中心、北卡罗来纳州立大学图书馆。
