SCUT - TaoZhi Studio-North Campus Library, Northwest A&F University
이 신축의 도서관은 캠퍼스의 축과 주변경관과의 관계를 충분히 고려하여 설계하였다. 단순하며 개방된 형태의 건물로 복합공간의 문화센터를 구착하고자 했다. 건물은 풀이 무성한 경사면에 방주가 매달려 있는 것 처럼 단순한 형태이다. 그리고 건물 서쪽에 공원과 연계된 슬로프를 설계하여 연속되게 하였다. 도서관 내부는 계단이 특징이다. 1층에서 최상층으로 올라가는 동선을 정리하기 위해 층간에는 여러개의 계단을 설계했다. 계단과 연결된 아트리움 공간의 채광창은 반투명 유리와 쉐이드 루버를 사용하여 직사광선을 은은한 빛으로 바꾸어 편안하고 쾌적하고 독서 환경을 조성했다.
As a new big building in the old campus, the design fully considered the relationship with the axis of the campus and the surrounding landscape. Building in a peaceful, simple, open form, to the campus. We try to build a campus culture center that integrates study and research, knowledge innovation, and leisure experience.
The Ark in the Forest - We designed a slope on the west side of the first floor, echoing the park on the west side of the slope. Create a piece for students to rest, read, activities on the landscape platform. The building is in simple form, like an ark suspended on a grassy slope.
The building facade is designed digitally. GRC curtain wall uses four standard-size units, forming a rich facade effect. The curtain wall unit is made of a large GRC prefabricated panel, the size of one panel is 4.6 mx1.5 m. GRC plate and windows, thermal insulation, and waterproofing for integrated installation, can quickly complete the external walls. The special vertical texture of the precast plate has different light and shadow effects at different times and in different directions. These give the building a wealth of detail We used LiTraCon to make the name of the library, at the top of the building in the northwest corner. The LiTraCon name is integrated with the building during the day and has a special lighting effect at night.
Book mountain - The inspiration for interior design comes from the ancient poem“There is a road in the book mountain. The interior spaces are surrounded by an atrium and two courtyards. The atrium of the staircase space, bookshelves, and walls, steps into one, to create a multi-functional reading space.
Several staircases were designed between floors to organize a path from the first floor to the top floor. Readers can use these interesting paths to reach the various levels of the reading space. The atrium skylight uses frosted glass and shade louvers to convert direct sunlight into soft light, creating a comfortable and pleasant reading environment. Structural dampers are exposed as decorative elements on the interior walls.
