森林和河流的原始之美与带有坡屋顶的小型历史性木制避暑屋的温暖和舒适相结合,是度假小镇奥格雷的主要特点,这也是新社区图书馆的灵感来源。新建筑被小心翼翼地安置在山地上,以尽可能多地保留自然森林覆盖。新建筑呆在树后面,透过树看人的想法,类似于拉脱维亚人有点害羞和内向的天性。

The raw beauty of forest and river combined with the warmth and comfort of small historic wooden summer houses with pitched roofs are the main characteristics of resort town Ogre, that inspired the new community library. The new building was carefully placed on the hilly site to preserve as much natural forest cover as possible. The idea of the new building staying behind the trees and looking through them resembles the bit shy and introverted nature of Latvians.

建筑本身的设计感觉不像是一个机构,而更像是一个开放的公共场所,供社区和游客会面、教育和放松。新的中心包括有不同的阅读和工作房间的图书馆,一个巨大的儿童图书馆,一个独立的青年图书馆,一个带有露台和儿童房间的宽敞的会议厅,一个舒适的夏季咖啡馆建筑,用于图书馆的户外活动,甚至还有一个带有结婚仪式大厅的民事登记处。坡屋顶结构有助于在空间上界定这些独立的功能。

The building itself is designed to feel not as much like an institution, but more like an open public place for the community and visitors to meet, educate and relax. The new center houses library with different reading and working rooms, a vast kid’s library, a separate youth library, a spacious conference hall with a terrace and kids’ room, a cozy summer café building for library outdoor activities, and even a Civil Registry Office with marriage ceremony hall. Pitched roof structures help to spatially define these separate functions.

为了更好地了解这个复杂项目的需求,许多不同的用户群体在早期就参与了头脑风暴和规划过程。设计师们去了附近的学校、青年组织和当地的文化中心,甚至在当地的Facebook群里为母亲们组织了一次调查。许多不同的想法,如一个特殊的婴儿游戏区与相邻的护理和喂养室,以及在儿童游戏室的横移攀岩墙,都被引入。在第二层,从中央中庭开始,有一个仪式性的白色走廊。在它的尽头,有一个禁欲主义的仪式大厅,有一面不分彼此的大玻璃墙,面向北方的森林。大自然在拉脱维亚传统文化中一直扮演着核心角色,在这个大厅里也是如此。

To better understand the needs of this complex project, many different user groups were engaged in the brainstorming and planning process early on. Designers went to nearby schools, youth organizations, and local cultural centers and even organized a survey in the local Facebook group for mothers. Many different ideas like a special baby playing area with adjacent care and feeding room and a traverse rock-climbing wall in the kids’ games room were introduced. On the second story from the central atrium starts a ceremonial white hallway. At the end of it, there is an ascetic ceremony hall with a large undivided glass wall facing the forest to the north. Nature has always played a central role in traditional Latvian culture and so it does in this hall.

建筑中的一个特殊元素是第二层的窗户。它们被设计成大型胶合板坐席,带有可插入的软垫,可调光,以及半透明的窗帘。游客可以关上窗帘,创造自己的舒适的阅读小屋,欣赏森林的景色。这是一个带有金属框架屋顶结构的木制建筑。木材允许融入当地环境,并增加了情感和环境价值。承重墙由CLT板制成,但柱子、梁和楼板是GLT,以确保更长的跨度。

A special element in the building is the second-story windows. They are designed as large plywood sitting boxes with insertable upholstery, dimmable light, and a semi-transparent curtain. Visitors can close the curtains and create their own comfortable reading cabin with a view of the forest. It is a wooden building with a metal frame roof structure. Wood allowed to blend in the local context and added emotional and environmental value. Load-bearing walls are made of CLT panels but columns, beams, and floor panels are GLT to ensure longer spans.

外墙在第一层用浅色落叶松覆盖,第二层和屋顶用深色钛锌,因为这种材料的比例,划分是当地建筑的传统。在室内可以看到漂白的木质结构暴露出来。第二层有悬空的松木天花板,后面有空间用于通信。柔和的粉色马赛克地毯、软垫窗台和书架邀请游客感受到家的温馨。

The facade is clad with light larch on the first floor and with dark titan zinc on the second story and roof, as this proportion of material, the division is traditional for local buildings. Bleached wooden constructions can be seen exposed in the interior. The second story has suspended pine wood ceiling panels with space behind for communications. Soft pastel color mosaic carpets, upholstered windowsills, and bookshelves invite visitors to feel at home.

为了给建筑供暖和制冷,有水-空气热泵,其外部轮廓在城市的中央污水系统水库中。热泵的电力是由停车场上方的院子里的太阳能板场产生的。屋顶的生物活性雨水被收集起来,用于浇灌中庭中具有空气生物过滤器功能的绿墙。有一个仪表板,上面有实时数据和关于安装在中庭的创新建筑系统的解释性动画。

For heating and cooling the building, there are water-air heat pumps with the external contour in the city’s central sewage system reservoir. The electricity for the heat pumps is produced with a solar panel field in the courtyard above car parking. Biologically active rainwater from the roof is collected and used for watering the green walls with an air biofilter function in the atrium. There is a dashboard with live data and explanatory animations about the innovative building systems installed in the atrium.
