设计师将早稻田大学原有的早稻田校园4号馆改造成了村上春树图书馆,一条“木之隧道”贯穿其间,这是村上春树小说中“隧道”概念的建筑表达,穿越了时空的概念。

We renovated the Waseda University Campus Building #4 intothe new Haruki Murakami Library as a “wooden tunnel” that penetrates throughthe existing building. The wooden tunnel transcends time and space, as wetranslatedthe “tunnels” in Murakami’s novels that connect different dimensions intoarchitectural space.

首先将4号馆外壁的白色涂装擦去,重新粉刷以中和原始建筑,并强调加建的三维木制顶蓬。顶篷作为隧道入口的标示,表示不同尺度之间的边界。木制隧道垂直切入现有楼板,同时用作书架、剧场和小型演讲厅

We neutralized theoriginal building by repainting theexterior walls white, adding emphasis to the addition of the three-dimensionalwooden screen canopy.The canopy serves as an indication to the entrance of thetunnel, a representation of the boundary between dimensions. The wooden tunnel,which is created as a vertical cut through the existing slab, servessimultaneously as a bookshelf, theatre, and lecture hall.

在被以“坚硬”、“冰冷”为特征的混凝土建筑支配的二十世纪,建筑师反其道而行之,使用纤细、柔软的木材,为这座图书馆建造了一条守护和培育梦想的“隧道”。

The 20th century wasdominated by concrete, which has qualities that are “hard” and “cold.” Incontrast, for this library we imagined a tunnel that protects us and cultivatesdreams, by using wood which is delicate and soft.
