在重建Gabriel López Chiñas图书馆的过程中，RootStudio的项目所特有的负责任的建筑理念凸显出来，可持续的建筑方法、细致的修复以及传统建筑技术的恢复都是证据。

The vision of responsible architecture that distinguishes RootStudio’s projects comes to the fore in the reconstruction of the Gabriel López Chiñas library, with sustainable building methods, meticulous restoration, and the recovery of traditional construction techniques all in evidence.

经过两年的工作，RootStudio建筑公司完成了这项工作，恢复了原始结构，包括土坯墙、热带木头和木棍（morillos y biliguanas）屋顶–它被国家人类学和历史研究所（INAH）列为该市遗产的一部分，位于特万特佩克地峡地区。

After two years of work, the RootStudio architectural firm completed this work that saw the restoration of the original structure, including adobe walls, tropical wood log, and stick (morillos y biliguanas) roof—which is cataloged by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) as part of the heritage of this municipality, located in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

在准确评估的基础上，RootStudio能够巩固原有的布局和结构，尊重其本土类型。随后，最近增加的部分–遭受了严重的地震破坏–被拆除，以便融合现代结构来容纳新的空间，包括一个礼堂、一个电脑室和有树荫的室外区域。

Based on an accurate assessment, RootStudio was able to consolidate the original layout and structure, respecting its vernacular typology. Subsequently, the recent additions—which had suffered significant earthquake damage—were removed to allow for the fusion of contemporary structures to accommodate new spaces, including an auditorium, a computer room, and outdoor areas shaded by trees.

工作室部分保留了建筑的原始布局，并强调其乡土风格。建筑物的正面是图书馆、收藏室、阅览室和儿童室。建筑物的背面由一条宽阔的走廊连接，通向一个中央庭院和新的视听室、可容纳100人的礼堂、行政办公室、厕所和一个较小的庭院。

The studio retained, in part, the original layout of the building and emphasized its vernacular style. The front of the building houses the library, collection, reading, and children’s rooms. The back of the building is connected by a wide corridor leading to a central courtyard and the new audiovisual rooms, the auditorium with a capacity for 100 people, the administrative offices, the toilets, and a smaller courtyard.

RootStudio进行的干预需要将旧的建筑方法与当前的方法标准化，以振兴这个艺术和文化空间，为当地社区的其他类型的活动和表达提供新的可能性。

The intervention carried out by RootStudio entailed the standardization of the old construction methods with the current ones in order to revitalize this space for art and culture, offering new possibilities for other kinds of activities and expressions of the local community.

对于RootStudio来说，可持续建筑包括对地形条件的详细分析，以及使用当地的材料和元素，从而减少对环境的影响，并与环境及其气候条件相协调。为此，从地基挖掘中抢救出来的黄土被用于外墙，并特别注意门窗的排列，使内部和外部之间有一个视觉关系，并改善交叉通风。这一特点有助于保持由高天花板和原始墙体厚度产生的凉爽室内环境。

For RootStudio, sustainable architecture involves detailed analysis of the conditions of the terrain, and the use of endemic materials and elements, thereby reducing environmental impact and harmonizing with the setting and its climatic conditions. For this reason, yellow earth salvaged from the excavation of the foundations was used for the façade and special attention was paid to the alignment of the doors and windows, allowing a visual relationship between the interior and the exterior, as well as improving the cross ventilation. This characteristic contributes to maintaining the cool interior produced by the high ceilings and the thickness of the original walls.

在装饰方面，工作室选择了在室内使用白色石灰漆的祖传技术和白色泥砖，这创造了一种宽敞的感觉，并提供了一种增强阅读的光亮度。金属制品再现了来自地峡的纺织品的图案，与红砖、瓷砖以及由雪白和泥土色调组成的色调形成对比。

For the finishes, the studio opted for the ancestral technique of white lime paint in the interiors and white mud brick, which creates a sensation of spaciousness and provides a luminosity that enhances reading. The metalwork reproduces the patterns of textiles from the Isthmus, which contrast with the red brick, the tiles, and a color palette made up of snowy and earth tones.

家具是根据空间及其用途设计的，使用当地的木材，如Huanacaxtle，由专业的木匠加工。此外，计算机设备、器材和书籍是由当地政府、各种机构和私人捐赠的。

The furniture was designed in accordance with the spaces and their purpose, using local woods such as Huanacaxtle, which expert artisan carpenters worked. In addition, computer equipment, equipment, and books were donated by the local government, various institutions, and private individuals.

在RootStudio，将艺术融入建筑是一个常态，因为它提供了一个机会来建立一个美学宣言。在这个场合，艺术家José Ángel Santiago和Sabino Guisu被邀请；后者负责设计院子的锻造金属格栅和López Chinas的霓虹灯诗。

At RootStudio, incorporating art into buildings is a constant, as it provides an opportunity to establish an æsthetic manifesto. On this occasion, the artists José Ángel Santiago and Sabino Guisu were invited; the latter was in charge of the design of the forged metal grille of the courtyard and a poem in neon by López Chinas.

自2017年以来，RootStudio一直在为拯救特万特佩克地峡的图书馆做出无私的贡献，至今已有三个项目。加布里埃尔-洛佩斯-奇尼亚斯市图书馆的重建–已于2020年2月开始–得益于RootStudio的社会承诺和阿尔弗雷多-哈普-赫卢瓦哈卡基金会（FAHHO）的资助，得以实现。

Since 2017, RootStudio has been altruistically contributing to the rescue of libraries in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, with three projects to date. The reconstruction of the Gabriel López Chiñas municipal library—which began in February 2020— has been made possible thanks to RootStudio’s social commitment and funding from the Alfredo Harp Helú Oaxaca Foundation, FAHHO.
