博爾德公共圖書館于2018年為北博爾德的新分館發(fā)布了公開征求建議書（RFP），這是社區(qū)20多年來一直期待的一個(gè)項(xiàng)目。RFP要求設(shè)計(jì)一座“標(biāo)志性”建筑，許多競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)視覺上引人注目的設(shè)計(jì)。然而，由Amale Andraos和Dan Wood領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的紐約建筑公司W(wǎng)ORKac www.work.ac提出了一個(gè)愿景，即圖書館的標(biāo)志性地位將源于其可持續(xù)性及其對(duì)社區(qū)和環(huán)境的積極影響。

The Boulder Public Library issued an open Request for Proposal (RFP) in 2018 for a new branch library in North Boulder, a project the community had anticipated for over two decades. The RFP called for an "iconic" building, which many competitors interpreted as a visually striking design. However, WORKac www.work.ac - the architecture firm based in New York City and led by Amale Andraos and Dan Wood - proposed a vision where the library's iconic status would stem from its sustainability and its positive impact on the community and environment.

這種創(chuàng)新的方法引起了圖書館的共鳴。該建筑作為一個(gè)植根于WORKac過去重要經(jīng)驗(yàn)的原創(chuàng)項(xiàng)目而脫穎而出。Andraos和Wood一直致力于教育問題，這種奉獻(xiàn)精神在Andraos擔(dān)任哥倫比亞大學(xué)建筑、規(guī)劃和保護(hù)研究生院（GSAPP）院長(zhǎng)時(shí)達(dá)到頂峰，Dan Wood是該學(xué)院的副教授。在這個(gè)項(xiàng)目被委托的時(shí)候，他們?cè)诩~約皇后區(qū)的邱園山圖書館剛剛開放，這是社區(qū)的驕傲，他們快樂的邁阿密博物館車庫——?jiǎng)?chuàng)造性地將停車這種簡(jiǎn)單而經(jīng)常令人沮喪的行為轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橐庀氩坏降纳缃换?dòng)機(jī)會(huì)——已經(jīng)引起了廣泛的國際共鳴。

This innovative approach resonated with the library. The building stands out as an 900 project rooted in WORKac's significant past experiences. Andraos and Wood have always been deeply committed to issues in education, a dedication that culminated in Andraos' role as Dean of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) at Columbia University, where Dan Wood is an Associate Adjunct Professor. At the time this project was commissioned, their Kew Gardens Hills Library in Queens, NY had just recently opened, a source of pride for its community, and their joyful Miami Museum Garage - which inventively transforms the simple and often frustrating act of parking a car into an unexpected opportunity for social interaction - had reached wide international resonance.

植根于社區(qū)參與-北博爾德圖書館位于一個(gè)多元化的社區(qū)內(nèi)，融合了年輕專業(yè)人士，藝術(shù)工作室，畫廊和兩個(gè)制造家庭社區(qū)的新發(fā)展，其中包括博爾德最大的西班牙語人口。選定的場(chǎng)地是一個(gè)三角形地塊，西面是百老匯，南面是三里溪，可以欣賞到巨石熨斗的壯麗景色。WORKac的項(xiàng)目方法深深植根于社區(qū)參與。

Rooted in community engagement - The North Boulder Library is situated within a diverse neighborhood that blends new developments for young professionals, art studios, galleries, and two manufactured home communities that include Boulder's largest Spanish-speaking population. The chosen site is a triangular plot bordered by Broadway to the west and Three Mile Creek to the south, with stunning views to the Boulder Flatirons. WORKac's approach to the project was deeply rooted in community engagement.

WORKac為該項(xiàng)目工作了近8年，其中包括為期三年的社區(qū)參與和場(chǎng)地規(guī)劃過程，其中包括在不同階段向社區(qū)團(tuán)體、政治家和利益相關(guān)者進(jìn)行了20多次公開演示。超過3000人參加了2024年6月29日的開幕式?！敖裉旌兔恳惶欤覀兌荚谂κ菇ㄖ尤诵曰?，將實(shí)用主義變?yōu)閴?mèng)幻，并從技術(shù)官僚轉(zhuǎn)向創(chuàng)意，重新獲得最佳實(shí)踐中的最佳實(shí)踐。Amale Andraos和Dan Wood說：“我們對(duì)待每個(gè)項(xiàng)目，無論規(guī)模、方案、類型或背景如何，都充滿了同樣的熱情，并將堅(jiān)定的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義與辯論式的樂觀主義結(jié)合在一起?！?/p>

WORKac worked for almost eight years on the project, including a three-year Community Engagement and Site Planning process, which entailed more than twenty public presentations of the design during different phases to community groups, politicians, and stakeholders. More than 3,000 people attended the opening ceremony on June 29, 2024. "Today and every day we endeavor to render architecture more human, to turn the pragmatic fantastic, and to reclaim the 'best' in 'best practice' away from the technocratic and towards the creative. We approach every project, regardless of scale, program, type or context with the same passion, drawing resolute realism together with polemical optimism," say Amale Andraos and Dan Wood.

場(chǎng)地、項(xiàng)目和建筑——博爾德位于落基山脈和大平原交匯處的獨(dú)特地理位置，在歷史上塑造了其粗獷的建筑方言。北博爾德圖書館的設(shè)計(jì)體現(xiàn)了這一背景，承認(rèn)該地區(qū)與自然環(huán)境的復(fù)雜關(guān)系。通過與城市環(huán)境的聯(lián)系，圖書館不僅反映了它的環(huán)境，而且增強(qiáng)了它與當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)的視覺和功能關(guān)系。

Site, Program and Architecture - Boulder's unique geographical position at the intersection of the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains has historically shaped its rugged architectural vernacular. The North Boulder Library design celebrates this context, acknowledging the area's complex relationship with the natural environment. Through its connections with the urban surroundings, the library not only reflects its environment but also enhances its visual and functional relationship with the local community.

北博爾德圖書館的設(shè)計(jì)直接受到社區(qū)意見的影響，包括關(guān)鍵項(xiàng)目，如博爾德閱讀，支持兒童和成人的識(shí)字發(fā)展，以及“創(chuàng)客廚房”，這是從社區(qū)對(duì)創(chuàng)客空間的渴望以及社區(qū)花園和廚房區(qū)的想法演變而來的。建筑師說：“我們最大的快樂是讓別人感受到快樂、歸屬感和未來的可能性。”

The design of the North Boulder Library was directly informed by the community's input, leading to the inclusion of key programs such as Boulder Reads, which supports literacy development for children and adults, and a "Maker Kitchen," which evolved from the community's desire for a maker space together with ideas for a community garden and kitchen area. "Our greatest delight is for others to feel a sense of joy, of belonging, and of possibilities for the future," state the architects.

該建筑與三角形的場(chǎng)地相協(xié)調(diào)，其中包括一條季節(jié)性的小溪，對(duì)角線穿過它，建筑尊重其北部住宅鄰居的規(guī)模，同時(shí)向南部和西部開放Flatiron山脈和落基山脈山麓的景色。圖書館與二層的主要社區(qū)空間一起設(shè)計(jì)。北側(cè)下部整合了一個(gè)淺的，完全可達(dá)的坡道，允許這些二樓的社區(qū)和ESL教室在晚上圖書館關(guān)閉時(shí)開放，加強(qiáng)了圖書館作為社區(qū)中心的作用。這個(gè)坡道由蒙特利爾Daily tous les jours的公共藝術(shù)裝置增強(qiáng)，當(dāng)用戶上升或下降時(shí)播放音樂。盡管它的規(guī)模不大，但建筑有四個(gè)入口和各種公共空間，無縫地延伸到戶外，連接北部的住宅區(qū)和南部的Fourmile Canyon Creek公園。

The building negotiates the triangular site that includes a seasonal creek running diagonally through it with a building that respects the scale of its residential neighbors to the north while opening up to views of the Flatiron Mountains and Rocky Mountain foothills to the south and west. The library is designed with the major community spaces on the second floor. The lower northern side integrates a shallow, fully- accessible ramp that allows these second-floor community and ESL classrooms to open at night when the library is closed, reinforcing the library's role as a community hub. This ramp is enhanced by a public art installation by Montreal-based Daily tous les jours that plays music as users ascend or descend. Despite its modest size, the building has four entrances and a variety of public spaces that seamlessly extend outdoors, connecting with both the residential neighborhood to the north and the Fourmile Canyon Creek park to the south.

這座建筑的設(shè)計(jì)既有趣又出人意料。其不規(guī)則的幾何形狀，三角形式的收斂，反映并影響了內(nèi)部布局。這種形狀的相互作用創(chuàng)造了一系列令人驚訝的空間體驗(yàn)。

The building's design is both intriguing and unexpected. Its irregular geometry, a convergence of triangular forms, mirrors and influences the internal layout. This interplay of shapes creates a series of surprising spatial experiences.

主要的公共樓層分為一個(gè)供成人讀者使用的大閱覽室和一個(gè)兒童區(qū)，兒童區(qū)有一個(gè)私人的故事閱讀角和一個(gè)滑梯的窗戶，孩子們可以通過繩索攀爬結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)入滑梯，讓孩子們爬上建筑，然后滑下進(jìn)入圖書館的新操場(chǎng)。一樓的其他關(guān)鍵區(qū)域包括創(chuàng)造者廚房，它連接著一個(gè)可食用的花園和游樂場(chǎng)，以及可以欣賞到壯麗山景的大窗戶。室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)結(jié)合了自定義元素，如弗里曼的平面設(shè)計(jì)師安德魯·弗里曼（Andrew Freeman）設(shè)計(jì)的墻紙，展示了博爾德檔案館的歷史照片，以慶祝該地區(qū)的土著遺產(chǎn)。建筑暴露的天花板結(jié)構(gòu)增加了空間的聲學(xué)性能和審美豐富性。

The main public floor is divided into a large reading room for adult patrons and a children's area with a private nook for story-reading and windows onto a slide that can be accessed through a rope climbing structure, allowing kids to climb up through the building and slide down into the library's new playground. Other key areas on the ground floor include the Maker Kitchen, which connects to an edible garden and playground, and large windows that offer breathtaking views of the mountains. The interior design incorporates custom elements like a wallpaper by graphic designer Andrew Freeman, principal at afreeman, featuring historical photos from Boulder's archives, celebrating the region's indigenous heritage. The building's exposed ceiling structure adds to the space's acoustic performance and aesthetic richness.

WORKac的建筑既樸實(shí)又鼓舞人心。它體現(xiàn)了一種自由感，邀請(qǐng)人們參與空間并擁有它。這種做法反映了對(duì)公民責(zé)任的深刻承諾?？沙掷m(xù)性是該項(xiàng)目的核心焦點(diǎn)，最初的計(jì)劃旨在實(shí)現(xiàn)凈零能耗。盡管由于COVID-19大流行和隨后的經(jīng)濟(jì)挑戰(zhàn)，一些功能被縮減，但博爾德嚴(yán)格的可持續(xù)性法規(guī)確保了圖書館保持其高綠色建筑標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。屋頂太陽能電池陣列提供了建筑的大部分能源，而場(chǎng)地包括一個(gè)雨水花園，種植了本地的，吸引蝴蝶的花朵和灌木，以保護(hù)季節(jié)性溪流免受徑流的影響。

WORKac's architecture is both unpretentious and inspiring. It embodies a sense of freedom that invites people to engage with the space and take ownership of it. This approach reflects a profound commitment to civic responsibility. Sustainability is a central focus of the project, with initial plans aiming for net-zero energy. Although some features were scaled back due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic challenges, Boulder's stringent sustainability regulations ensured that the library maintained its high green building standards. A rooftop solar array supplies a significant portion of the building's energy, while the site includes a rainwater garden planted with native, butterfly-attracting flowers and shrubs to protect the seasonal creek from runoff.

深思熟慮的設(shè)計(jì)力量的證明——北博爾德圖書館是深思熟慮的、社區(qū)驅(qū)動(dòng)的設(shè)計(jì)力量的證明。盡管預(yù)算有限，但WORKac還是創(chuàng)造了一座既美觀又實(shí)用的建筑，成為公平公共建筑的典范。該圖書館完全由博爾德市資助，是進(jìn)步價(jià)值觀、可持續(xù)性和社區(qū)參與的燈塔，反映了它所服務(wù)的城市精神。WORKac是2023年建筑藝術(shù)與文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)的獲得者，這是由美國藝術(shù)與文學(xué)學(xué)院頒發(fā)的一項(xiàng)聲望很高的榮譽(yù)，旨在表彰那些作品體現(xiàn)藝術(shù)卓越并對(duì)建筑領(lǐng)域產(chǎn)生重大影響的杰出美國建筑師。他們目前正在黎巴嫩的貝魯特藝術(shù)博物館和瓦薩學(xué)院的項(xiàng)目中工作，其中包括對(duì)其主圖書館的翻新。

A testament to the power of thoughtful design - The North Boulder Library is a testament to the power of thoughtful, community-driven design. Despite a modest budget, WORKac has created a building that is both beautiful and functional, serving as a model for equitable public architecture. Funded entirely by the City of Boulder, the library stands as a beacon of progressive values, sustainability, and community engagement, reflecting the spirit of the city it serves. WORKac is the recipient of the 2023 Arts and Letters Award in Architecture, a prestigious honor given by the American Academy of Arts and Letters to recognize exceptional American architects whose work embodies artistic excellence and has made a significant impact on the field of architecture. They are currently working on the Beirut Art Museum in Lebanon and projects at Vassar College, including a renovation to its main library.
