架构师提供的文本描述。在马哈拉施特拉邦(Maharashtra)农村的一所学校里，选择了一个儿童图书馆的地点，这是现有建筑与学校边界之间的一小块，这几乎意味着，要调整选定地点的规划，就需要一个线性的建筑足迹。
暗指的是，孩子们对一座建筑的景观产生了推动，我们认为图书馆建筑是地面平面的正式延伸。这里是供学习的地方，上面是玩耍的地方。由于附近的教学资源有限，我们需要鼓舞人心的空间体验，作为吸引学生的磁石，希望在放学后吸引附近居民区的学生和其他居民。

Text description provided by the architects. The site chosen for this small addition of a children’s library within a school in rural Maharashtra, was a sliver between existing buildings and the school boundary, a site that almost implied a linear building footprint to adjust the program for the chosen site.
Alluding to the impetus that children have towards landscape over a building we imagined the library building to be a formal extension of the ground plane. A place inside for study and a place above for play. With the limited teaching resources available in the larger vicinity we needed the inspiring spatial experience to be a magnet to attract students and hopefully other residents from the nearby settlements after school hours.

在我们第一次访问这个地点的时候，看到一位工程师为一些学校建筑建造的测地线结构是很有趣的，我们对此感到有些鼓舞，开始了一个来自建筑智能的项目。因此，我们分析了几种可能的材料配置，从混凝土壳到砖拱顶，用于建造这种“建筑景观”。在这一点上，我们被16世纪加泰罗尼亚瓷砖拱顶的材料效率所吸引，它在19世纪早期被古斯塔维诺所使用，最后是二十世纪中叶埃拉迪奥·迪雅斯特作品中令人难以置信的细节。在处理特定的站点条件时，我们使用了RhinoVault，由ETH的BlockResearchGroup开发，为该项目提供了一个纯压缩形式。

On our first visit to the site it was interesting to see Geodesic structures built by an engineer for a few of the school buildings, we were somewhat encouraged by this to pursue a project that followed from a construction intelligence. We hence parsed through several possible material configurations ranging from concrete shells to brick vaults for building this ‘architectural landscape’. At this point we were captivated by the material efficiencies of the Catalan tile vault from the 16th century, it’s use by Gustavino in the early 19th century and finally the incredible details from the work of Eladio Dieste from the mid-twentieth century. While working with the specific site condition we used Rhino Vault developed by the Block Research Group at the ETH to articulate a pure compression form for the project.

图书馆位于学生日常生活的交汇处，它成了一个从多个侧面进入的展馆，学生们在穿过图书馆或穿过图书馆时，有可能与书本打交道。

The library lies at the intersection of a student’s daily routine it became a pavilion accessed from multiple sides with students potentially engaging with books while traversing through the library or over it.

图书馆内部空间多样

The library interior has varied spatial & seating systems, a floor stool system towards the edges for a more intimate study area and towards the centre, tables and stools for collaborative study.  The self-structured window bays are striated profiles for increased stability with economical window section sizes.

该项目的施工技术也使我们有理由重新审视全球和地方的古老双星，因为它们是对立的。南亚范式中的地区性或地方性典型地表现在记忆中对风格的严格的形式限制。这往往是以牺牲材料效率为代价的。

The construction technology for the project also makes a case to reexamine the age-old binaries of the global and local as being in opposition. The regional or the local within the South Asian paradigm typically manifests within strict formal constraints of the style in memory. This is often at the expense of material efficiencies.

我们努力寻找砖瓦材料和建筑效率，目的是利用我们的做法所处的知识网络，使我们能够通过扩大全球能力来丰富区域或地方。

Our effort to search for a material and construction efficiency in brick tile looked to leverage the networks of knowledge that our practices are situated in, allowing us to enrich the regional or local through the extended capacities of the global.

在使用从加泰罗尼亚Tile跳高系统到压缩环细节从在乌拉圭的埃拉迪奥迪雅斯特的工作，到使用表格查找软件插件在瑞士制造的原理，图书馆是从不同的地理位置吸取的教训，而且从时间/历史的各种教训的结果。

In using principles ranging from the Catalan Tile Vaulting sytem to the compression ring detail from the work of Eladio Dieste in Uruguay, to using a form finding software plug -in made in Switzerland the library is a resultant of not only lessons learnt from various geographic locations but also various lessons through time/history.
