NOA*事务所为意大利米兰设计的“知识之树”图书馆

在意大利米兰宁静的维多利亚港附近，NOA*事务所设计的欧洲信息与文化图书馆（BEIC）是一个激发和解放思想的创作中心。该项目名为“知识之树”，两侧是能够渗透所有空间的自然景观，而图书馆独特的建筑特征有机屋顶环意外地容纳了一个盛开的公园。

工作室解释道：“正如一本书的封面包含了一个值得深入研究的故事一样，新的欧洲图书馆在绿色的背景下隐藏了一种知识，任何想要掌握它的人都可以阅读与了解。”

‘TREE OF KNOWLEDGE’ LIBRARY BY NOA* IN MILAN, ITALY
Within the tranquil Porta Vittoria neighborhood in Milan, Italy, the European Library of Information and Culture (BEIC) proposal by noa* is intended to serve as a center for creation that inspires and liberates the mind. Titled ‘the Tree of Knowledge’, the project was flanked by the development of a natural landscape that permeates all spaces, while an organic roof ring —the library’s distinctive architectural feature— unexpectedly houses a blossoming park.
‘Just as the cover of a book contains a story to dive into, the new European library conceals under a green landscape a knowledge available to anyone who wants to grasp it.’ the studio explains.

设计模糊了建筑的内外边界

新的文化中心充满了屋顶森林和飞行书籍的超现实氛围，为游客提供了探索未知领域的理想条件。该项目的出发点是研究21世纪图书馆的意义、用途和特点。NOA*事务所的团队将其重新设想为一个具有创造力的中心，目的是创造一个刺激的环境来获取新知识。由此，建筑师创造了一种轻松安静的氛围，一种内外界限模糊的混合环境。

复杂的建筑框架两侧是能够渗透所有空间的自然景观。该建筑包括一个有机屋顶，作为图书馆的标志，并拥有一个繁华的公园。这是在把城市公园作为一个整体背景看待，从而进行设计，文化图书馆是其中的一个重要组成部分。虽然建筑很内向，但从地面上出现的体量也扩展到维多利亚港的一部分，使无障碍空间成为项目的一大关键元素。

BLURRING THE LIMITS BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
Imbued with surreal atmospheres of rooftop forests and flying books, the new cultural center places the visitor in the ideal condition to explore uncharted territories. The starting point of the project was the research into the meaning, usage, and features of a 21st-century library. The team at noa* reimagined it as a hub of creativity, with the aim to create a stimulating setting for acquiring new knowledge. The resulting design generates a relaxed and quiet atmosphere, a hybrid environment where the line between inside and outside becomes blurred.
The intricate architectural framework was flanked by the creation of the natural landscape, which permeates all spaces. The structure incorporates an organic roof, which serves as the trademark of the library, and houses a flourishing park. This is to be viewed in the context of urban parklands as a whole, of which the BEIC is an important component. Although the architecture is noticeably introverted, the volume emerging from the ground also expands over part of Porta Vittoria Park, making accessibility one of the key elements of the project.



重建世俗的伊甸园

图书馆共有九层：主要部分位于第一层，蜿蜒的长廊可以穿过整个建筑。在令人回味的空间体验中，游客受邀探索室内大道上丰富的功能空间。每层都有的外部空间，是内部空间的自然延续。与此同时，一个可容纳200人的圆形自习室可以360°俯瞰米兰，要到达那里，使用者需要搭乘一架独一无二的电梯，这是一个由自动化系统根据需求拾取的藏书塔。

通过这幅令人叹为观止的藏书景观，达到了BEIC的最高点。穿过一个郁郁葱葱的花园，感觉就像在爬树，这并非偶然，因为启发建筑师团队的原型是伊甸园，那里生长着善恶知识之树。与之相关的圣经情节可能是哲学家们的常用内容，在BEIC的屋顶上，NOA*工作室希望重建一个人间伊甸园，在那里人们可以欣赏知识之美，并不断鼓励人们去探索未知的世界。
   
RECREATING AN EARTHLY EDEN
The library houses nine floors in total: the main one is located on the first level, where a sinuous promenade allows the complete crossing of the building. In an evocative spatial experience, the visitor is invited to discover the rich functional program on the interior boulevard. Access to the outside, a natural continuation of the interior spaces,
is provided on every floor. Meanwhile, a circular study room for 200 people, with a 360° view over Milan, vertically closes the building. To reach it, one ascends a one-of-a-kind elevator, a proper tower of books, picked up as needed by an automated system.
Through this astonishing landscape of moving books, the highest point of the BEIC is reached. It feels like climbing a tree after having walked through a lush garden. And not by chance, since the archetype that inspired the team of architects is the Garden of Eden, where the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil grows. The biblical episode linked to it is perhaps one of the narratives philosophers have drawn on most to portray humanity. On the roof of the BEIC, studio noa*wanted to recreate an earthly Eden, where we could celebrate the beauty of knowledge and continually encourage people to reach out to unknown worlds.
