码头是用碎石和混凝土建造的。它长40米，宽14米。我们设计了一个32*14米的钢结构，在码头上由6根钢筋混凝土柱支撑。在建筑物的底部，有码头空间。

The quay was constructed of rubble and concrete. It is 40 meters long and 14 meters wide. We designed a 32*14 meters steel structure which is supported by 6 reinforced concrete columns on the quay. At the bottom of the building, there is the quay space.

在大楼的中间，有图书馆的阅览室。在建筑物的顶部，有一个可以看到整个河岸的平台。粗糙的瓦砾，坚硬的钢铁和柔软的竹子，这些都反映了此刻中国人的自然景观。

In the middle of the building, there is the reading room of the library. On the top of the building, there is the platform that could see the whole riverside. The rough rubble，hard steel and soft bamboo which reflect the Chinese's natural view at this moment..

通过斜坡进入图书馆阅览室。在主入口附近的露台上，有一个与码头相连的钢楼梯。在建筑物的另一边，一些通向屋顶的木台阶被布置在倾斜的草坪上。

Through a sloping ramp enter the library reading room. In the patio nearby the main entrance, there is a steel stair which is connected with the quay. On the other side of the building, some of the wooden steps leading up to the roof were arranged on the sloping lawns.

图书馆的内部空间被三堵书架墙包围着。桌子紧靠书架的墙壁。

The interior space of the library is surrounded by three bookshelf walls. The desks are closed to the bookshelf walls.

人们可以透过窗户看到这条河。书架内有一个梯形的阅读空间。梯形空间的天花板是一种竹制装置-“倒置景观”。它在微风中轻轻摇动。它看起来像是中国人文哲学的象征。

People can see the river through the window. Inside the bookshelf enclosure, there is a ladder shape reading space. The ceiling of the ladder shape space is a bamboo device -- "The upside-down landscape". It shakes gently in the breeze. It looks like a symbol of Chinese humanistic philosophy.
