图书馆正处于转型之中：一旦成为知识传播和安静反思的场所，它们就会成为聚会、社交、学习、闲逛和插足的场所。新的驱动公园分局将图书馆内部翻了个底朝天，把传统的图书馆光顾模式-比如集中阅读-放在了大楼的中心，而社交、互动功能则位于周边，他们在那里受益于自然光线和与街道的接触。

Libraries are in transition: once a point of knowledge dissemination and quiet introspection, they are becoming places to meet, socialize, study, hang out and plug in. The new Driving Park Branch turns the library inside-out, placing traditional modes of library patronage — like focused reading — at the center of the building, while social, interactive functions are located along the perimeter, where they benefit from natural light and engagement with the street.

由于驾驶公园在历史上以赛车闻名，该项目采用了“赛马场”的概念来组织不同的功能，塑造建筑的封套，展示书籍和其他媒体。拥有透明的街道正面、公共会议室、社区青年服务和技术，驾驶公园分局不仅是一个被动的信息提供者，而且是连接社区的积极参与者。

Because Driving Park was historically known for racing, the project incorporates a “racetrack” concept to organize the different functions, shape the building envelope, and display books and other media. With a transparent street frontage, public meeting rooms, services for neighborhood youth and technology, the Driving Park Branch is not merely a passive provider of information, but also an active participant in connecting community.
