来自建筑师：设计灵感来自希腊古代的历史学院，在那里，交换思想的社会空间是首要的，而文字内容的存储则起着次要的作用。SN hetta的设计挑战了研究图书馆的传统类型，将其仅仅作为图书和档案的存储库，而提供了多种空间，这些空间将激发偶遇，使协作成为可能，并鼓励用户之间的知识共享。值得注意的是，新图书馆使用自动图书检索系统来存储大学200多万册中的大部分。ASRS显着地减少了存储书籍所需的空间，并允许建筑提供更多的协作学习空间和学生资源。

From the architects: The design is inspired by the historic academies of Greek antiquity, where social spaces for exchanging ideas were primary and storage of written content took a secondary role. Snøhetta’s design challenges the traditional typology of the research library solely as a repository for books and archives, and instead provides a diversity of spaces that will spark chance encounters, enable collaboration, and encourage knowledge-sharing amongst its users. Notably, the new library uses an automated book retrieval system to store the majority of the University’s more than two million volumes. The ASRS significantly reduces the amount of space needed to store books and allows the building to provide more collaborative learning space and student resources.

位于两条主要人行天桥的交汇处，毗邻未来的校园四合院，图书馆将为坦普尔大学锚定一个新的学术和社会核心。梯级广场周围的景观逐步上升到图书馆入口处，提供室外教室和非正式聚会的机会。

Located at the intersection of two major pedestrian pathways and adjacent to a future campus quadrangle, the library will anchor a new academic and social core for Temple University. The surrounding landscape of terraced plazas step up to the library entrances, providing outdoor classrooms and opportunities for informal gatherings.

新图书馆建筑的定义是一个坚实的基础，覆盖着粗糙的石材垂直部分，参考周围校园环境的材料。大木拱形入口切入石料卷，并宣布一个欢迎入口。扩大的褶皱无框玻璃支撑在钢多层创造了最大的透明度在主要的入口。拱门继续进入大楼，形成一个三层楼高的中庭大厅，其中有白色的水磨石地板。大堂、咖啡厅́、中央中庭和24/7区，不受安全检查站的阻碍，将欢迎周围社区和圣殿学生。

The new library’s architecture is defined by a solid base clad in vertical sections of rough stone that references the materials of the surrounding campus context. The grand wooden arched entrances cut into the stone volume and announce a welcoming point of entry. Expanses of pleated frameless glass supported on steel mullions create maximum transparency at the major entrances. The arches continue into the building, forming a three-story domed atrium lobby with white terrazzo floors. The lobby, café, central atrium and 24/7 zone, which is unimpeded by security checkpoints, will welcome in the surrounding community as well as Temple students.

大厅的圆顶中庭上刻着一个Oculus，可以看到建筑物的每一个角落，作为找路的锚，把用户放在图书馆活动的中心。当用户在建筑物中循环运行时，这种视觉和物理连接使个人能够评估自己的方位，并鼓励学生使用建筑物的所有资源。除了互动和生成性的学习空间外，图书馆还提供了反思学习的机会。到达顶层，游客来到一个充满阳光的阅览室，里面有传统的浏览书库。它的轻盈和通风的特点，从更不透明的基础，并打开图书馆的绿色屋顶，通过露台与阶梯座椅，为学生提供一个独特的户外空间。

An oculus carved into the lobby’s domed atrium opens up views to each corner of the building, serving as a wayfinding anchor and placing the user at the center of the library’s activity. As users circulate the building, this visual and physical connectivity allows the individual to take stock of their bearings and encourages students to use all of the building’s resources. In addition to interactive and generative learning spaces, the library also provides moments for introspective study. Arriving at the top floor, the visitor reaches a sun-filled reading room with traditional browsing stacks. Its light and airy character rises from the more opaque base, and opens up to the library’s green- roof via a terrace with stepped seating, providing a unique outdoor space for students.
