架构师提供的文本描述。ShoReview是一个由25，000名居民组成的郊区社区，位于明尼苏达州圣保罗以北12英里处。新图书馆由Ramsey县图书馆运营，取代了一个功能陈旧的社区图书馆，改为ShoReview图书馆，作为一个新的区域图书馆，为ShoReview和北城郊提供服务。拉姆齐县图书馆为新的肖普图书馆寻找一个高度可见的网站。由于ShoReview图书馆的使命正在从一个地方社区图书馆转变为一个更大的区域图书馆，因此在视觉上突出宣布所提供的新服务是很重要的。

Text description provided by the architects. Shoreview is a suburban community of 25,000 residents located 12 miles north of St. Paul, Minnesota. The new library, operated by Ramsey County Libraries, replaced a functionally obsolete community library with the Shoreview Library as a new regional library serving Shoreview and the north metro suburbs. Ramsey County Libraries sought a highly visible site for the new Shoreview Library. Since the Shoreview Library mission was transforming from a local community library into a larger regional library, a visual prominence announcing the new services offered was important.

这片土地虽然归县所有，但周围环绕着为ShoReview市提供各种用途的市政设施。城市设施通过使用各种混合砖块，具有名义上的材料一致性。在城市规模上，ShoReview图书馆的设计部分试图综合图书馆独特程序的表达方式，并将其与公民校园清晰地联系起来。从多个方向进入图书馆，进行各种运输方式，对图书馆和ShoReview社区至关重要。建立直观和无缝的联系，以鼓励其他途径进入和到达成为一个重要的规划重点。

The site, while owned by the County, is encircled by civic facilities serving a variety of uses for the City of Shoreview. The City facilities have a nominal material consistency through the use of various brick blends. At an urban scale, the design parti for the Shoreview Library sought to synthesize an expression of the library’s distinct program with a legible connection to the civic campus. Access to the library from multiple directions for various modes of transportation is vital to the library and Shoreview community. Creating intuitive and seamless connections to encourage other means of access and arrival became an important planning focus.

设计理念：设计旨在通过当代建筑的镜头来庆祝“书册”的工艺和体验。折叠模型探索了“页面”的物理居住，进而通知了保护“盖”的几何结构--外部建筑围护结构的参考。每个折叠由与它所包含的程序适当的空间、光和体积来通知。完成的建筑是通过简单的程序框图演变为形式、材料、工艺和细节的架构表达而区分出来的。

Design Concept: The design seeks to celebrate the craft and experience of “book” through the lens of contemporary architecture. Folded models explored the physical inhabitation of “the page” which, in turn, informed the geometry of the protective “cover” – a reference to the exterior building envelope. Each fold is informed by the space, light, and volume appropriate to the program it contains. The completed building is distinguished by the evolution of a simple program diagram into an architectonic expression of form, material, craft, and detail.

对明尼苏达州作家和启赋者的庆祝：在世界各地分享和阅读了著名的明尼苏达州作家的作品。SinclairLewis,F.ScottFitzgerald,GarrisonKeillor,和KateDicamillo,以及LauraIngallsWilder都被称为明尼苏达州的家.为了纪念明尼苏达州的写作和插图，在图书馆设计中集成了几个庆祝这一传统的装置。室内环境图形展示了儿童书画师的作品。半透明的背光框宣布了具有完整高度图形的东入口。当一种方法接近该条目时，明尼苏达州作者的名字被覆盖在该图形上，用于大框的整个高度。

Celebration of Minnesota Authors and Illustrators: The work of renowned Minnesota authors has been shared and read around the world. Sinclair Lewis, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Garrison Keillor, and Kate DiCamillo, and Laura Ingalls Wilder all called Minnesota home. To honor the Minnesota legacy of writing and illustration, several installations celebrating this tradition were integrated into the library design. Interior environmental graphics showcase the work of children’s book illustrators. A translucent backlit marquee announces the east entry with a full height graphic. As one approaches the entry, the names of Minnesota authors are overlaid onto the graphic for the full height of the marquee.

室内弹性和布局：白色，折叠内表面盘旋在一个大的单层楼板上。虽然长期的灵活性对于当代图书馆不断变化的程序至关重要，但设计的目的是创造一个独特的环境，从大型团体聚会到亲密的单身环境。开放式平面图被三个木质盒子细分为不同尺度的空间，这些木箱包覆在一个自然完成的胡桃木中，包括自习室、办公室和展示壁龛。

Interior Flexibility and Place-Making: The white, folding interior surface hovers over a large single story floor plate. While long-term flexibility is vital to the changing programs in a contemporary library, the design seeks to create distinct environments from large group gathering to intimate single person settings. The open floor plan is subdivided into spaces of varying scales by three wood boxes clad in a natural finish walnut containing study rooms, offices, and display alcoves.
