塞勒姆公共图书馆(Salem Public Library)位于市中心,预计将进行翻修,以使其结构弹性和建筑系统达到现代标准。96000平方英尺的混凝土结构建于1970年,并于1990年进行了扩建。当为抗震改造、无障碍改善和生命安全更新提供资金时,该市的图书馆寻找到了一个难得的机会,可以解决工作人员和图书馆用户在老化的混凝土建筑和旧空间中遇到的一些额外的挑战。

The Salem Public Library’s downtown location was due for a renovation to bring its structural resilience and building systems up to modern standards. The 96,000-square-foot concrete structure was built in 1970 and underwent an expansion in 1990. When funding came through for seismic renovation, accessibility improvements and life-safety updates, the city and library saw a rare chance to address some of the additional challenges encountered by staff and library patrons in their aging concrete building and outdated spaces.

集成和资源设计

Design for Integration and Resources

通过设计师与图书馆团队的深入合作,建立了一个共同的愿景,即创建一个热情、安全、灵活的空间,同时丰富人们与社区之间的联系。

Through a deep partnership with the library team, a vision was established to create a space that is welcoming, safe, and flexible while enriching a connection between people and their community.

该设计将光线引入了这座大型堡垒式建筑的核心,将一座面朝内部的野蛮时代建筑转变为一个明亮、宽敞的空间,吸引社会群体的进入。重新设计的窗户和入口创造了内外之间的连接,而宽敞的中央空间用垂直楼梯连接了各个楼层。

The design brings daylight into the core of the large, fortress-like building, transforming an inward-facing brutalist-era building into a bright, voluminous space that invites the community in. New windows and redesigned entrances create connections between outside and in, and the voluminous central space creates vertical connections between floors.

在实用预算中几乎没有回旋余地的情况下,图书馆的设计团队需要找到创造性的方法,使花费的每一美元都承担双重责任。设计的每一个方面都是通过一个实际的视角来过滤的,即每一种选择如何有助于提高地震和生命安全,同时也提供了一个面向社区的愿景,并以顾客和员工的体验为中心。

With almost no wiggle room in a utilitarian budget, the design team for the library needed to get creative finding ways to make every dollar spent do double-duty. Each aspect of the design is filtered through a practical lens of how each choice can contribute to improved seismic and life safety while also delivering on a vision that is community-oriented and centers the experience of patrons and staff.

为变更而设计

Design for Change

为了为读者创造更愉悦、更具凝聚力的图书馆体验,该设计重新设想了具有不同功能的不同空间之间的相互关系——员工空间与公共空间、服务于不同年龄段的图书馆部分的需求、安静区、嘈杂区、人流量大区域。

To create a more pleasant, cohesive library experience for patrons, the design reimagines how different spaces with different functions relate to one another – staff spaces vs. public spaces, the needs of library sections serving different age groups, quiet zones, noisy zones, high-traffic areas.

图书馆工作人员和后面的空间被整合在低楼层,以提高效率和功能。活跃的公共空间主要位于建筑上面两层。以前被几层分隔的青少年服务现在被搬迁到顶层,以便更好地共享资源,并改善操作和藏品的清晰度,其中包括青少年场景和儿童区的充满活力的新空间,探索室已搬迁到儿童区。较低层的广场通向一个活跃、热闹的主入口,毗邻一个用于动手学习、会议和会议的创客空间,以及一个可在图书馆日常时间内容纳大型活动的社区房间。

Library staff and back of house spaces are now consolidated on the lower floor for greater efficiency and functionality. Active public spaces are found primarily on the upper two levels. The youth services previously separated by several floors now relocated to the top level to allow for greater sharing of resources as well as improved operations and clarity of collections, which includes vibrant new spaces for the Teen Scene and Children’s areas, and the Discovery Room has been relocated to Children’s. The lower level plaza opens up to an active, bustling main entrance, adjacent to a maker space for hands-on learning, meeting and conference space, and a community room that can accommodate larger events after regular library hours.
