Pine Bluff Main Library / Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects

阿肯色州的Pine Bluff位于南部松林与阿肯色河沿岸农田的交汇处，这里是密西西比三角洲的一颗明珠，与其他许多三角洲城市一样的是，随着工业的搬迁以及河流的减少，Pine Bluff的发展逐步减慢，这座城市的人口曾经达到了70000人，后来则减少到了40000人，并且犯罪率也不断上升，损害了产业的发展，造成人才的流失。
Text description provided by the architects. Pine Bluff, Arkansas was once a Mississippi Delta jewel, positioned where southern pines meet vast farmlands along the Arkansas River. Like many delta cities, Pine Bluff was in steady decline as industries relocated and river traffic waned. The city that once boasted 70,000 people fell to 40,000 in population, gaining a negative national reputation for crime, hurting its ability to draw industry and retain homegrown talent.
曾经繁荣的街道现在却空无一人，破旧不堪，城市的中心仿佛被遗弃，主要街道上的几座建筑甚至已经倒塌，城市的领导人和市民们希望能够联合起来拯救街道，并且促进经济的发展，市民们想要改变城市的发展，那么他们决定用知识改变命运，一座全新的图书馆便应运而生，它位于城市主要大街，在这里，原有建筑已经倒塌，新建筑象征着城市的中心，也象征着重生的整体。
A once thriving Main Street that boasted the State’s largest theater now stood lined with empty dilapidated storefronts…downtown felt abandoned. When several buildings collapsed onto Main Street, city leaders and citizens banded together to save Main Street and create economic incentives; the citizens wanted to reverse the course of their city. One initiative was to set knowledge to the forefront with a new Main Library positioned on a prominent Main Street corner where buildings had burned/collapsed as a symbol of rebirth for downtown and Pine Bluff as a whole.
公共会议表达了人们对于“城市社区客厅”的渴望，该空间关注儿童和青少年，给他们带来了希望与鼓励，促进他们对于知识的渴望和热情，让他们留下来建设城市，市民们也希望有这么一个鼓舞人心且充满自然光的安全场所，他们希望这里能够指引着未来的发展，代表着全新的希望，全新的图书馆是一个社区学习中心，这里不仅仅提供书本，同时也拥有表演空间、教学厨房、录音室、咖啡厅，以及计算机培训室。
Public meetings revealed the desire to create a“living room for the community” that focuses heavily on children and youth to give hope, encouragement, and the desire for knowledge to spark the desire to stay, reinvest, and rebuild their city. Citizens wanted a place that was uplifting, inspirational, and full of natural light while feeling safe and secure. They wanted a place that pointed to a future that“lifted expectations. What emerged was a community-embedded supportive learning center, offering not only books, but also a performance space, a teaching kitchen, recording studios, a café, and computer training for adults and youth.
就建筑功能而言，不同专业空间进行了等分，构成两种不同的平行形式，让视线变得开放，让光线变得充裕，同时通过适应场地的形态得以表达。公共体块位于主要街道一侧，其上方是儿童图书馆空间，一个充满活力的悬臂体量是开放式礼堂，它自由地漂浮在主入口上方，向北侧延伸，表达了充满希望的革新策略，礼堂台阶将儿童图书馆与青少年阁楼空间连接在一起，在这里使用者可以俯瞰整座图书馆和城市，因此也是活力的象征，表达了年轻人群对于城市的重要意义，令人惊讶的是，开放的台阶也吸引了当地的大学生们，他们很喜欢在公共图书馆里学习和闲逛。
A building program that equally divided books with more dedicated education/specialized spaces generated a diagram of two distinct parallel forms, shifted to open views and accept the light, and articulated by function and the site’s odd shape. Public stacks are in storefronts along Main Street with the children’s library framed above: knowledge is on display. A dynamic cantilevered open auditorium floats completely free above the main entrance, lifting to the north as a bold progressive language of hope. Auditorium steps connect the children’s library up to a Teen Loft that overlooks the entire library and downtown, a dynamic space symbolizing the importance of young people to the city. Surprisingly, the open steps have drawn the local university’s students as well, choosing to study and hang out at the public library over their own campus.
图书馆有两个主要入口，连接着主要街道的交叉口，人们穿过建筑可以来到西侧的停车场，在交通区域建筑师设计了一个人行交叉口，构成了上部带有天窗的内部通道，连续的高侧窗让屋面看起来更加自由，同时建筑的内部空间也充满了自然采光，西侧立面由一座私人建筑的影响而弯曲，但是通过活动草地与停车场相连接，一个椭圆形圆柱体量容纳了建筑功能，这也构成了弯曲形式的核心部分和入口的视觉中心，建筑的西侧立面让人联想到书架上的书籍，不同宽度的细长窗户和垂直面板能够有效地减少阳光直射的热量影响。
The library has two primary entrances connecting Main Street’s intersection through the building to parking on the west. The plan parti creates a pedestrian intersection at the circulation desk as an internal street lit from above. A continuous clerestory allows the roof to cleanly float free, flooding both floors with light. The west façade bends with the odd site’s odd shape due to a private property interrupting the block, connecting to parking through an activity lawn. A bold oval-shaped cylinder housing utilitarian functions become the hinge point for the bending form and a visual marker of the entrance from the surrounding parking and streets. The western façade is reminiscent of books on a shelf, utilizing slender windows of varying widths and vertical fins to mitigate heat gain.
Pine Bluff图书馆通过教育给市民们带来了投资价值，它仿若一座灯塔，也是Pine Blaff城市希望的象征。
The Pine Bluff Library is a beacon for the value of reinvesting in citizens through education, and a symbol of hope for what Pine Bluff can be.
