Capilano Library / Patkau Architects + Group2

来自建筑事务所的描述：Capilano图书馆的设计灵感来源于郊区植物茂密的峡谷，这条峡谷由于上世纪60年代的城市发展而逐渐孤立，这里曾经有着Edmonton地区特征，保留了草原生态系统，项目场地的西侧是一条住宅街道，东侧是一条峡谷，这里对于图书馆而言十分理想，交通便捷，且与自然相连。

Text description provided by the architects. The Capilano Library is inspired by a ravine hidden within dense foliage at the edge of its suburban site. Orphaned from the North Saskatchewan River by intense urbanization in the 1960s, the ravine is a remnant of a riparian prairie ecosystem that once characterized the Edmonton area. Flanked by a residential street to the west and the orphaned ravine to the east, the site is ideal for a library, both accessible and connected to nature.









面积为1130平方米的项目沿着场地的南北轴线分成了三个平行区域，连续的折线形木屋面延伸至图书馆的77米长度的位置，其三个顶点分别对应着下面的三个区域，屋面的上下平面针对采光、声学、结构、技术服务进行了优化，在建筑的每个部分都表达了不规则的形态。

The 1,130 sm program is organized into three parallel zones along the north-south axis of the site. A continuous folded wood roof runs the 77-meter length of the library, its three peaks corresponding to the three zones below. The upper and lower planes of the roof are optimized for daylight, acoustics, structure, and technical services, striking an irregular profile at each end of the building.



图书馆的每个区域都针对比例、功能、自然采光、视线进行了呼应，西侧部分反映了区域的规模，沿街部分有着安静的边缘支撑空间，而东侧部分的规模则较大一些，使用者沿着55米长的窗户可以俯瞰整个峡谷，同时这里设置有多个座位，中间区域应用了顶部照明，给社区和员工预留了足够的空间。为了呼应落叶背景，图书馆覆盖着黑色铝板和天然木材，而榆树和入口广场则将建筑和相邻街道连接在一起。

Each of the three zones responds to scale, function, natural light, and view. The western zone reflects the scale of the neighborhood with a quiet edge of support spaces along the street. The eastern zone is intimately scaled, with varied seating along a serene 55-meter long window overlooking the ravine. The middle zone is top-lit and lofty, with space for stacks, community, and staff. To complement the shady deciduous backdrop, the library is clad in black aluminum and natural wood, while a double-row of elms and entry plaza ties the building to the adjacent street.









图书馆西侧的木质屏风天窗让建筑室内也充分了自然光线，阳光经过百叶进行过滤，给室内带来了柔和的光影效果，绿色的景观和变幻的光影相互结合，在社区的中央构成了自然绿洲。

Wood screened clerestories on the west face of the library fill the interior with daylight. As the sun passes over the building, sunlight filters through the screens, projecting gentle patterns of light and shadow on the interior surfaces. Views of the verdant landscape combined with continually changing interior light create a natural oasis in the heart of a suburban prairie neighborhood.





Capilano图书馆自身构成了有力的依据，让孤立的峡谷能够促进整个河岸生态系统的恢复，也促进城市规模的变革，也通过这种方式，图书馆让游客和工作人员更加深刻地尊重与认识自然与知识，为社区带来宁静的空间与环境。

The Capilano Library makes a strong argument for restoring the orphaned ravine to its larger riparian ecosystem, becoming a catalyst for a city-scale change. By acknowledging the ravine, the library provides visitors and staff with a place of reverence for knowledge and nature while creating a tranquil edge to its community.
