架构师提供的文本描述。乌得勒支大学的Utrecht校区汇集了90年代和2000年荷兰最著名的公司签署的建筑：我们可以提到Mecanoo，OMA，Neutelings Riedijk，NL建筑师。WielArets在1997年赢得了图书馆大楼的比赛。

Text description provided by the architects. The Uithof Campus of the Utrecht University gather a number of buildings signed by the most famous Dutch firms during the 90s and 2000: we can mention Mecanoo, OMA, Neutelings Riedijk, NL Architects.

在这种背景下，图书馆表现为一个坚实的卷组成，在正面显示了交替透明和不透明面板的作用。他们被反复纹理模糊，印在玻璃上，在黑色混凝土面板上雕刻浮雕。

The library appears in this context as a solid composition of volumes, which show on the facade a play of alternating transparent and opaque panels. They are blurred by a repeated texture, printed on the glass and carved in relief on the black concrete panels.

纹理是一种丛林树的图案，它为正面的构图增加了一些垂直运动。一些玻璃板是双倍的，稍微偏离正面线，使它的三维和有助于调节阳光。他们的开放是自动控制与太阳曝晒，但他们也可以手动打开。

The texture is a pattern of jungle trees, which add some vertical movement to the facade composition. Some of the glazed panels are doubled, and slightly shift off the façade line, making it three-dimensional and contributing to regulate the sunlight. Their opening is automatically controlled in relation with the sun exposure, but they can also be opened manually.

一座悬空桥将图书馆与旁边的塔连接起来，而侧方的停车位则连接到地下室的主街区。由西8设计的庭院花园将停车场与图书馆分块隔开。所有这些卷在正面面板上都有相同的纹理，因此它们显然是复杂环境的一部分。整栋建筑体积庞大，而且相当黑暗，尽管面板的变化、纹理和移动使它变得轻盈和动感，在夜景中有着特殊的效果。

A suspended bridge links the library with the tower beside, while the side volume of the parking is connected to the main block by the basement. The courtyard garden designed by West 8 separates the parking from the library block. All of these volumes have the same texture on the facade panels, so that they are clearly part of the complex. The whole building is massive and rather dark, although the alternation, the texture and the shifting of the panels make it light and dynamic, with a special effect in night views.

在内部，通过材料和体积的相互作用，这个项目变成了一个非常复杂的空间。

On the interior, the project turns into a very involving space, by materials and the interaction of volumes.

正门把我们带到一个画廊，从那里到一个大楼梯。白色反射地板和深色混凝土面板的对比伴随着图书馆的空间；一旦达到第一层，中庭就会打开一个完整的高度，不同的体积以同样的墙壁纹理在里面和外面粘在一起。立面的组成变得清晰和易懂，因为每一个外部固体墙在内部变成一个空间体积。玻璃面板框架的全部高度空间，关闭垂直在正面线。

The main entrance brings us to a gallery, and from there to a large staircase. The contrast between the white reflecting floor and the dark concrete panels is accompanying through the library space; once reached the first level, the atrium opens up into a full height, where different volumes stick in and out with the same wall texture. The composition of the façade becomes clear and understandable, as every outer solid wall turns into a spatial volume on the inside. The glass panels frame the full height spaces, closing it vertically at the façade line.

这些内部卷容纳了不同层次的各种演讲室、课桌、书架和档案馆，现在作为一个开放的平台，现在作为封闭的房间，有阳台和开口。特别有效的是会议室上方的接待区，悬臂和完全玻璃朝向中庭。一些固定家具上的红色接触丰富了室内的色阶，并在重要的地方引起了人们的注意。

These interior volumes house the various lecture rooms, desks, bookshelves and archives, on different levels, now as an open terrace, now as enclosed rooms with balconies and openings. Particularly effective is the meeting room above the reception area, cantilevered and completely glazed towards the atrium. The touch of red on some fixed furnitures enrich the chromatic scale of the interior, and catches the attention on the important spots.

走在分布的楼梯和桥梁上-图书馆开放的核心-我们享受着空间和氛围，它的开放和寂静。事实上，人们对声学和照明给予了特别的关注：宽慰的纹理有助于吸收声音，而玻璃上的同样纹理则调节着课桌上的阳光。这是一个建筑，让学生和游客在一个开放和互动的空间，同时专注于私人阅读。

Walking on the distribution stairs and bridges – the open core of the library – we enjoy the space and atmosphere, its openness and its silence. Particular attention has been in fact given to the acoustics and the lighting: the relieved texture helps absorbing the sound, while the same texture printed on glass regulates the sunlight on the lecture desks. It is a building that allows students and visitors to feel in an open and interactive space while concentrating on the private reading.
