“白纸 “是一个小型公共图书馆或阅读亭,位于塔林的卡德里奥尔,其建筑灵感来自于文学思想的形象。空气中总是弥漫着各种想法,因此展馆的屋顶也像一张轻薄的纸一样在半空中盘旋,只依靠下面的玻璃书架。书架上摆满了书,形成一种墙,给亭子里的人一些隐私。

“White Sheet” is a tiny public library or a reading pavilion located in Kadriorg, Tallinn, with its architecture inspired by the image of a literary idea. There are always ideas in the air and so also the pavilion’s roof hovers as a light sheet of paper in mid-air relying only on the glass shelves below. The shelves are filled with books forming a kind of wall that gives some privacy to the people in the pavilion.

地板是一个简单的木制露台,与玻璃墙结合在一起,使展馆具有轻盈的夏日感觉,与当地的气氛非常吻合。亭子通过邀请人们和活动,激活了以前被遗弃的城市空间。它的透明度也创造了一种社会控制。建设的想法来自于当地政府、文学中心和社区的积极成员。

The floor is a simple wooden terrace that in combination with the glass walls gives the pavilion its light summery feel that matches well the local atmosphere. The pavilion activates the former abandoned urban space by inviting people as well as activities. Its transparency also creates a kind of social control. The idea for the construction stemmed from the active members of the local government, literary center, and community.

该场地以前是一个被忽视的城市空间,偶尔用来遛狗。该地有大树,树脚上长着灌木,限制了视野和安全感。在该场地对面经营的塔林文学中心注意到了它的潜力,并认为整理这个地方并给它一个更永久的文学相关的外观是个好主意。

The site was previously a neglected urban space used occasionally for walking dogs. The site had large trees with bushes growing on their feet which limited visibility and a sense of security. Tallinn Literary Center, which operates opposite the site, had noticed its potential and thought it would be a good idea to tidy up the place and give it a more permanent literature-related look.

文学中心组织每年的文学节,希望发出信号,表明这条街道与文学有特殊的联系,也希望在他们周围保持书籍和文学的可见性。这样,任何人都可以在一天中抽出几分钟的时间,在那里与书为伴。塔林市中心政府立即参与进来,并尽一切努力使该亭子成为现实。市政府组织了一次小型的建筑竞赛,”白纸 “方案从中脱颖而出。

The Literary Center, organizing the annual literary festival, wanted to signal that the street had a special connection with literature and also to keep books and literature visible around them. So that anyone could take a few minutes in a day and spend it there with a book. The Tallinn City Centre Government immediately came on board and made every effort to make the pavilion come true. The city organized a small architectural competition from which The White Sheet proposal emerged.

最初的设计描绘了一个仅由玻璃支撑的白色薄板。对我们建筑师来说,最困难的部分是使这个想法适应爱沙尼亚的气候和可能的损害风险的实际情况。对于浮动屋顶,我们考虑了几种选择,其中包括单板结构和CLT板。最后,我们利用我们在建造和维修游艇方面的经验,所以我们设计了一个由横梁和单板组成的3D模具,一个当地的造船商用玻璃纤维制作了正面结构。

The initial design depicted a thin white sheet supported solely by the glass. The hardest part for us the architects was to adapt this idea to the real-life situation concerning the Estonian climate and possible risk of damage. For the floating roof, we considered several options among which were veneer structure and CLT panels. Finally, we used our experience in building and repairing yachts, so we designed a 3D mold made of beams and veneer and a local boat builder produced the positive structure from fiberglass.

书架上放满了书,形成一种墙,给亭子里的人带来一些隐私。它的透明度也创造了一种社会控制。地板是一个简单的木制露台,与玻璃墙相结合,使亭子具有轻盈的夏日感觉,与当地的气氛相匹配。该馆参考了历史,因为塔林的一部分Kadriorg以前以带有大玻璃阳台的夏季别墅而闻名。

The shelves are filled with books forming a kind of wall that gives some privacy to the people in the pavilion. Its transparency also creates a kind of social control. The floor is a simple wooden terrace combined with glass walls, giving the pavilion its light summery feel that matches the local atmosphere. The pavilion has reference to history as Kadriorg, part of Tallinn, was formerly known for summer villas with large glass verandas.

白纸是在2020年的文学街节期间开放的。当地人立即接受了它,图书交流活动已经流行起来,一天中很少有一个小时亭子里没有人坐着或走动。尽管有最初的担心,该馆已经很好地度过了三个北欧的冬天。白纸获得了2022年爱沙尼亚建筑师协会SMALL类别的爱沙尼亚建筑奖。

White Sheet was opened during the Literary Street Festival in 2020. Locals immediately embraced it, the book exchange has caught on and there is rarely an hour in a day when the pavilion has nobody sitting or moving around there. Despite the initial fears, the pavilion has well survived three Nordic winters. White Sheet received the Estonian Architecture Award in the category SMALL of the Estonian Association of Architects 2022.
