法赫德王国家图书馆

超妹大爱

沙特阿拉伯法赫德国王国家图书馆近日重新开门迎客。十年前，德国Gerber建筑事务所在赢得设计竞赛，最近工程完工。项目涉及原有建筑的翻新和增建，该建筑是地区最为重要的文化中心。图书馆位于利雅得，成为一个大规模城市开发项目的一部分，促进交流、合作与学习。

尽管项目规模巨大，与周边环境形成一种联系，成为新城市公园的核心。项目方案尊重区域历史和遗产，设计元素响应了阿拉伯文化精髓。新建筑的方形结构环绕并保护原有建筑。该图书馆立面如织物，由菱形遮篷组成，构建传统的中东建筑形式。

室内明亮、舒适，提供了宁静的空间分为，鼓励人们思考与交流。主入口大厅位于建筑底层，旁边是展览区、餐厅和书店。建筑一层还设有专为女性使用的区域，女宾客在这里可以不需要身穿黑袍。

建筑外墙的白膜是通过拉伸应力钢绞结构进行固定，既可作为遮阳蓬，又采用了先进技术重新诠释传统图案。围合的朝向与设计是跟据太阳走向而设，隔绝炎热的太阳辐射，同时保留建筑的空透感。夜间建筑外墙的图案会不断变化，成为当地的文化灯塔标识。

saudi arabia’s ‘king fahad national library’ has re-opened its doors to the public, ten years after german practice gerber architekten won an international competition to complete the project. the design involves the refurbishment and extension of the existing building – one of the most significant cultural centers in the region. situated in riyadh, the country’s capital, the scheme is part of a larger urban scale development programed to facilitate interaction, collaboration and study.

despite its size the structure forges a connection with the surrounding landscape, forming the centerpiece of a new urban park. importantly, the scheme respects the history and heritage of its location, echoing elements of arabian culture throughout the design. the cuboid shape of the new building surrounds and protects the existing structure, creating a new series of elevations. the library is characterized by its filigree textile fa?ade, a cladding made up of rhomboid awnings featuring traditional middle eastern architectural patterns.

throughout the interior, brightly lit, comfortable spaces provide a tranquil and calming atmosphere which encourages contemplation and the exchange of knowledge. the main entrance hall is located at ground level, alongside exhibition areas, a restaurant and a bookshop. at the first floor there is a separately accessible area specifically for women in which female guests can spend time without a burka. the various book depositories are seen as treasures to be found within the building’s protective exterior.

the fa?ade’s white membranes, supported by a tensile-stressed steel cable structure, serve as sunshades and reinterpret traditional patterns with more technologically advanced solutions. the envelope’s orientation and design responds directly to the local sun path, combining the required protection from the hot sun with maximum light penetration and transparency. at night the building is illuminated with changing color patterns, standing as a cultural beacon for the region and its people.

好好的～
