架构师提供的文本描述。纽约公共图书馆委托了这个12，000平方英尺的分馆。我们修复了现有的1907年卡里尔和黑斯廷斯卡内基图书馆，并设计了一个新的7000平方英尺的建筑，位于旁边。图书馆被认为是一个现代的公共机构，将有助于振兴斯台普顿社区。

Text description provided by the architects. The New York Public Library commissioned this branch library of 12,000 square feet. We restored the existing 1907 Carrere and Hastings Carnegie Library and designed a new 7,000 square foot building to be located alongside. The library is conceived as a modern public institution that will contribute to the revitalization of the Stapleton neighborhood.

这个设施是旧的和新的组合。现有的卡内基图书馆被改建为儿童阅览室。这座新建筑由胶水层压道格拉斯杉木柱、横梁、托梁和屋顶装饰、房屋、书籍和媒体组成。结构上的玻璃幕墙邀请公众，并提供自然光。裸露的木结构为当代公共建筑提供了一种节奏感、规模感和物质丰富性。辐射供暖系统有效地使抛光的混凝土地板变暖。

The facility is an assemblage of old and new. The existing Carnegie Library was converted into the Childrens’ Reading Room. The new building, constructed of glue laminated Douglas fir posts, beams, joists and roof decking, houses books and media. The structurally glazed facade invites the public and supplies natural light. The exposed wood structure provides a sense of rhythm, scale and material richness unexpected in contemporary public buildings. A radiant heating system efficiently warms the polished concrete floors.

新图书馆最主要的目的是成为一个吸引人的、开放的、无障碍的公共空间，供社区使用。新的图书馆必须是在一个单一的水平，缝制新的建筑物旧，并使残疾人。一个开放的计划，容易受到工作人员的监督，提供了儿童地区，青少年地区和成人地区之间的战略空间分隔是可取的。

The new library was intended above all to be an inviting, open, and accessible public space for the community. The new library had to be on a single level, stitch new building to old, and be handicapped accessible. An open plan, easily monitored by staff, that provided strategic spatial separations between children’s areas, teen area, and adult area was desired.

我们用倾斜的坡度建造了一座新的建筑，这样就可以在没有台阶的情况下，从坡地进入一个新的街道入口。青少年和成人的阅读和研究区位于新大楼内，由透明的社区房间隔开。最初的卡内基图书馆，立即从新的入口进入，恢复了原来的设计，现在是儿童阅览室。

Working with the sloping grade of the land, we sited the new building such that a new street entrance could be accessed from grade, without steps. Teen and adult reading and research areas are located in the new building, separated by a transparent community room. The original Carnegie Library, which is immediately accessed off the new entry, was restored true to its original design, and is now the children’s reading room.

图书馆是社区的数字枢纽和资源，为学生和居民提供Wi-Fi和电脑终端。虽然信息越来越多地以数字格式提供和分发，但我们在这座建筑中力求维护这本书的持久相关性和首要地位。因此，所有的墙壁都有书架，把图书馆的全部藏书都放在可以看到的范围内，也可以接触到所有的读者。

The library is the digital hub and resource for the neighborhood, providing Wi-Fi and computer terminals for students and residents. While information is increasingly available and distributed in a digital format, we sought in this building to assert the enduring relevance and primacy of the book. As such all walls are lined with bookshelves, putting the entire collection of the library within view, and within reach, of all its patrons.
