伍兹贝格伦敦工作室已经为位于英国威尔特郡圣玛丽卡尔尼学校校园中心的一个美丽的新图书馆做了最后的修饰。该图书馆将作为一个灵感和学习的中心,其引人注目的设计结合了邻近的苹果园和周围的百年老建筑。

The Woods Bagot London Studio has put the finishing touches on a beautiful new library at the heart of the St Mary’s Calne School campus in Wiltshire, UK. The library will act as a hub of inspiration and learning, with a striking design that incorporates the adjacent apple orchard and surrounding century-old buildings.

从贯穿学校的主干道的西侧看,这个660平方米的结构似乎是一个简单的矩形亭子,由砖块包覆,顶部有一个由木材和玻璃组成的衔接屋顶。然而,一进门,参观者就被动态的室内环境所吸引,每一层都有不同的目的和特定的区域。底层是活泼的,旨在开展团体项目,可以直接进入邻近的果园,而上层则是为更正式的集中学习和个人学习而设计。

From the western side along the main road that runs through the school, the 660-square-meter structure appears as a simple, rectangular pavilion clad in brick and topped with an articulated roof of timber and glass. Upon entering, however, visitors are welcomed by dynamic interiors, with each storey having a distinct purpose and specified zones. While the ground floor is meant to be lively, aimed at group projects with direct access to the neighbouring orchard, the upper level is designed for more formal focused, individual studying.

砖砌的 “书架 “或独立的辅助形式沿着建筑周边的北部和南部区域,提供存储、楼梯通道、小型项目室和仓库控制系统。为了优化可用于学习和阅读的空间,传统的书架被摒弃,取而代之的是学习间、展示区和内墙的书架。

Brick ‘bookends’ or separate ancillary forms along the northern and southern areas of the building’s perimeter, provide storage, stair access, small project rooms, and warehouse control systems. To optimise the spaces available for learning and reading, conventional book racks are dismissed instead there are study booths, display zones, and shelving within the interior walls.

玻璃幕墙朝向东北方向,以限制阳光直射,同时照亮从图书馆到花园和果园的新形成的通道。从果树中获得的直接灵感,几根结构支撑梁连接到屋顶的起伏内侧,给人以树枝的印象。阁楼玻璃使浮动的屋顶和双层高度的幕墙从顶部为空间提供日光。金属细节被整合到整个外墙,以延续树木的垂直元素。

The glazed façade faces northeast to limit direct sunlight while illuminating the newly formed passage from the library to the gardens and orchard. Taking direct inspiration from the fruit trees, several structural support beams connect to the undulating interior-side of the roof to give the impression of a tree’s branches. Clerestory glazing enables the appearance of a floating roof and double height curtain walls fill the spaces with daylight from the top. A metal detail is integrated throughout the façade to continue the vertical elements of the trees.

该建筑的规模和细节与整个学校的建筑立面相一致,但在构图上却刻意表现出现代感。其结果是完成了场地中央绿地的西侧边缘,并为学生提供了一个学术天堂。

The scale and detail of the building is in line with the architecture of the entire school in its elevations but is deliberately contemporary in its composition. The outcome is a completion of the western edge of the grounds’ central greenspace and an academic haven for its students.

圣玛丽卡尔尼学校是一所领先的独立寄宿和走读女子学校(11-18岁),成立于1873年。学校于2017年委托伍兹贝格设计一个两层的图书馆设施,将图书馆重新定位为学校学术和社会生活的中心。在包括校长、员工、图书馆员和学生在内的合作设计过程中,该项目提供了一个环境,不仅反映了最佳的教学实践,而且为学生未来独立的学术生活做好准备。

St Mary’s Calne is a leading independent boarding and day school for girls (aged 11-18), founded in 1873. The school appointed Woods Bagot in 2017 to design a two-storey library facility that would reposition the library as a hub for the school’s academic and social life. Following a collaborative design process that included the headmistress, staff, librarians, and students,the practice has delivered an environment which doesn’t just reflect best practice teaching & learning, but prepares students for the independence of their future academic lives to come.
