架构师提供的文本描述。微型图书馆位于万隆的比马街的Taman Bima，在机场附近的Kampung社区的一个小广场上。这个社区由一边的中产阶级住房和另一边像坎邦(村庄)一样的建筑组成，那里是不富裕的人居住的地方。Taman Bima微型图书馆是印度尼西亚各地一系列小型图书馆的第一个原型，我们打算建造这些图书馆。

Text description provided by the architects. The Microlibrary is located at Taman Bima, Bima Street in Bandung in a small square in a Kampung neighborhood near the airport. The neighborhood consists of middle class housing on one side and a Kampung (village) like structure on the other, where less affluent people live. The Taman Bima Microlibrary is the first realized prototype of a series of small libraries in different locations throughout Indonesia, which we intend to build.

由于过去几年对书籍和阅读的兴趣下降，印度尼西亚的文盲率和辍学率仍然很高。我们的使命是重新激发人们对书籍的兴趣，提供一个专门的阅读和学习场所，提供书籍、其他媒体和课程。这个微图书馆增加了人们的认同感，也是这个社区所有人们的骄傲之源。这些活动和教学目前由DompeDhuafa(穷人口袋)和印度尼西亚侨民基金会支持和组织。然而，最终的目标是使当地人民能够独立地组织和维护内容。

With an Interest in books and reading declining in the past years, the illiteracy rate and school dropout rate in Indonesia remains high. Our mission is to rekindle interest in books by offering a dedicated place for reading and learning, availability of books, other media and courses. The Microlibrary adds identity and is a source of pride for all the people in the neighborhood. The activities and teaching are currently supported and organized by Dompet Dhuafa (Pocket for the Poor) and the Indonesian Diaspora Foundation. However, the ultimate goal is to enable the local people to organize the content and maintenance independently.

这座建筑位于一个小广场上，有一个已经存在的舞台，已经被当地社区用于集会、活动、闲逛和体育活动。我们的目的是增加而不是拿走，所以我们决定通过遮阳来加强开放的舞台，让它受到雨水的保护，并以浮动的图书馆盒子的形式覆盖它。

The building is situated in a small square with a preexisting stage that  was already used by the local community for gatherings, events, hanging out and sports activities. Our intention was to add rather than take away, so we decided to enhance the open stage by shading it, making it rain protected and cover it in form of the floating library box.

该建筑是通过一个简单的钢结构，由I梁和混凝土板为地板和屋顶。舞台在混凝土中进行了改造，并增加了一个以前缺少的宽楼梯。由于该建筑地处热带气候，我们的目标是在不使用空调的情况下创造一种宜人的室内气候。因此，我们在附近寻找可供使用的外墙材料，这些材料具有成本效益，可以遮荫室内，让日光通过，并提供足够的交叉通风。最初，我们发现有几个小摊贩在卖二手的，白色和半透明的杰瑞罐头。然而，在建造之前，杰瑞罐不再是我们所需要的数量。相反，我们发现了大量出售的塑料冰激凌桶，因为它们的正面形象更好，而且在切开底部进行交叉通风时更稳定。

The building is constructed via a simple steel structure made from I-beams and concrete slabs for floor and roof. The stage was reworked in concrete and a previously missing, wide stair was added. As the building is located in a tropical climate, we aimed to create a pleasant indoor climate without the use of air conditioning. Therefore, we looked  for available façade materials in the neighborhood that were cost efficient, could shade the interior, let daylight pass and enable enough cross ventilation. Initially, we found several small vendors selling used, white and translucent jerry cans. However, prior to construction the jerry cans were no longer available in the quantities we required. Instead, we found used plastic ice cream buckets that  were being sold in bulk.  This turned out for the better as they have a more positive image and are more stable when cutting the bottom open for cross ventilation.

在研究如何排列2000个冰淇淋桶的设计方案时，我们意识到它们可以被解释为零(打开)和1(关闭)，从而使我们有可能以二进制代码的形式将消息嵌入到外观中。我们问万隆市长里德万·卡米尔(Ridwan Kamil)，他是该项目的支持者，他是否有给微图书馆和社区的信息，他的信息是：“Buku adalah jendela Dunia”，意思是书是通向世界的窗户。这条信息可以从左上角(面向前方)开始读取，并在周边反复盘旋。不仅立面赋予了建筑更多的意义，而且桶也产生了一种令人愉快的室内灯光氛围，因为它们分散了直射的阳光，并起到了天然灯泡的作用。

While studying design options of how to arrange 2000 ice cream buckets, we realized that  they could be interpreted as zeros (opened) and ones (closed), thus giving us the possibility to embed a message in the façade in the form of a binary code. We asked the Mayor of Bandung, Ridwan Kamil, a supporter of the project whether he had  a message for the Microlibrary and neighborhood and his message is: “buku adalah jendela dunia”, meaning books are the windows to the world. The message can be read starting from the top left (facing the front) and spirals  down around the perimeter repeatedly. Not only does the facade give additional meaning to the building but the buckets also generate a pleasant indoor light ambiance since they scatter direct sunlight and act as natural light bulbs.

然后将水桶放置在从地板到屋顶的垂直钢制肋骨之间，并向外倾斜以抵御雨水。对于更强烈的热带暴雨，内部半透明的滑动门可以暂时关闭。安装2000个水桶，制造夹具和其中一半以上的底部是耗时的。然而，当地的工匠在保持锋利和干净的边缘的同时，也制造了自己的冲孔/切削工具。

The buckets were then placed in between vertical steel ribs spanning from floor to roof and are inclined towards the outside to repel rainwater. For more harsh tropical rainstorms translucent sliding doors in the inside can be closed temporarily. Mounting 2000 buckets, making the fixture and punching out bottoms of more than half of them is time consuming. However, the local craftsmen made their own punch out/cutting tools to be faster while also maintaining  sharp and clean edges.

这座建筑在附近的人们中很受欢迎，我们定期收到关于正在进行的活动的反馈，例如学校的班级远足等等。

The building is very well received among the people in the neighborhood and we get regular feedback about ongoing events, e.g. school class excursions, etc.
