架构师提供的文本描述。新的白厅图书馆是一个19，500平方英尺的新分支图书馆，位于哥伦布郊区社区的主干道上，占地3英亩。这座建筑被设想为新一代图书馆，超越了传统的藏书中心的角色，成为重要的社区中心、信息的技术门户和终身学习的源泉。

Text description provided by the architects. The new Whitehall Library is a 19,500 square foot new branch library located on 3 acres along a main arterial road in a suburban community in Columbus. The building was conceived as a new generation library, going beyond the traditional role as a repository of books and serving as a vital community center, a technological portal to information and a source for lifelong learning.

设计目标很简单。这座建筑应该是有吸引力的、无障碍的、透明的、开放的和灵活的。这创造了一个高度清晰的建筑访问，功能和寻路同时明显。

The design goals are simple. The building should be inviting, accessible, transparent, open and flexible. This creates a hyper-legibility where building access, functions and wayfinding are simultaneously evident.

 Floor Plan

这座单层的步行街结构坐落在北面的主干道上.柔和的弓形建筑响应线性场地，并强调中心入口。外立面由一系列平面、金属面板和玻璃店面组成，北面公共空间的透明度更高，而工作人员空间和面向南的会议室则不那么透明。

The single story, pedestrian-scaled structure is sited along the main thoroughfare to the north. The gentle bow-shape of the building responds to the linear site and emphasizes the center entries. The exterior facades are composed of a series of flat, metal panels and glass storefront with greater transparency at the public spaces to the north and less so at the staff spaces and meeting rooms facing south.

北人行入口和南面车辆入口都是由一个赤塔的前缘所代表，通过每一个射入和穿过建筑物的角度都可以看到这些景象。通过在屋顶上方延伸，南部入口的框架为下面的外部空间提供背光。入口序列由内部欢迎区创建的压缩来定义，该区域连接条目并平分主公共空间。陶土包层从欢迎区的外部延伸到内部，天花板过渡到带有整体照明的木屏风。

The north pedestrian entry and south vehicular entry are each signified by a proscenium of terra cotta with views through each projecting into and through the building. By extending above the roof, the frame of the south entry provides backlighting to the exterior space below. The entry sequence is defined by a compression created by the interior welcome zone that connects the entries and bisects the main public space. The terra cotta cladding continues from the exterior to the interior of the welcome zone and the ceiling transitions to a wood screen with integral lighting.

图书馆的主要公共功能是由一个容纳儿童区、青少年区、商品计算区、书库和安静的阅览室的大的、理性的、长方形的空间决定的。简单的配置和提升的访问层始终创造了最大的灵活性。这将使图书馆能够在短期和长期内轻松和有效地应对迅速变化的功能需求。这里的主要光线是北部和阅读友好。其他功能包括家庭作业帮助区，可重构的会议空间，青少年录音工作室和工作人员工作空间。

The library’s main public functions are defined by a large, rational, rectangular space accommodating a children’s area, teen area, commodity computing, book stacks and a quiet reading room. The simple configuration and a raised access floor throughout create maximum flexibility. This will allow the library to respond easily and effectively to rapidly changing functional demands in the short and long terms. The predominant light here is northern and reading-friendly. Additional functions include a homework help area, reconfigurable meeting spaces, a teen recording studio and staff work spaces.

从入口的压缩空间向东和西延伸的公共空间，垂直扩展为裸露结构钢梁的翘曲天花板。从建筑线向外延伸的草地景观。有了这些田园风光和北部繁忙街道的城市景观，图书馆与社区的联系和身份就变得更加明显了。

The public space, extending east and west from the compressed space of the entry, expands vertically with warped ceilings of exposed structural steel beams. The raised volumes open to views of the meadow grass landscape that extends outward from the building lines. With these pastoral views and the more urban views of the busy street to the north, the library’s connection to and identity with the community is made evident.
