架构师提供的文本描述。不列颠哥伦比亚省大学(UBC)主校区的新装修和扩建书店证明，简单的设计干预可以产生巨大的效果。最初的举措是提高书店的知名度和服务，而不仅仅是这些措施，它把书店转变成一个充满活力的聚会场所，为商店及其更广阔的环境注入活力，并支持UBC学生的总体福祉。

Text description provided by the architects. The newly renovated and expanded bookstore on the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) main campus is proof that simple design interventions can have grand effects. What began as an initiative to improve the store’s visibility and services went beyond these measures to transform the bookstore into a vibrant meeting place that invigorates the store and its broader surroundings and supports UBC students’ general well-being.

设计团队首先把商店的周边向外推进，用高性能的玻璃外壳包裹被侵蚀的混凝土表面，从而将书店的堡垒式建筑改造成一个发光的玻璃盒子，既提升了零售体验，又通过与邻近的庭院和街道建立视觉连接，提高了校园的安全性。

The design team began by pushing the store’s perimeter outwards and wrapping the eroded concrete face with a high performance glass skin, that converted the bookstore’s fortress-like edifice into a luminous glass box that both uplifts the retail experience and improves campus safety by creating visual connections with the adjacent courtyard and streets.

有了这个盒子，建筑师们就可以打开内省的内部，并澄清以前复杂的计划。此外，还提供了UBC商品的优质零售空间、一家新的便利店、一家咖啡店，以及各种鼓励聚会和非正式交流的灵活空间。咖啡厅和便利店蔓延到一个新的美化庭院，进一步激活校园边缘。咖啡厅和新的零售区的玻璃夹层为学生提供了一个放松、即兴讨论、独立学习或组织小型聚会的场所。它的崇高地位创造了最佳的观看机会，并增加了更多的眼睛在街上。为了将玻璃盒中的自然光线吸引到较低的零售层，设计团队为地下室切割了一套宽阔的楼梯。浇筑的具体步骤，与整合的木座，热情邀请学生探索零售领域以外，同时也提供一个休闲的休息地点，并为讲座和音乐会提供方便的座位。

With this box, the architects were able to open the introspective interiors, and clarify the previously convoluted plan. The addition houses prime retail space for UBC merchandise, a new convenience store, a coffee shop, and a variety of flexible spaces that encourage gathering and informal exchange. The coffee shop and convenience store spill out onto a newly landscaped courtyard, further activating the campus edges. A glazed mezzanine over the coffee shop and new retail zone offers students a place to relax, hold impromptu discussions, study independently, or organize small get-togethers. Its elevated position creates optimal people-watching opportunities and adds more eyes on the street. Wanting to draw natural light from the glass box into the lower retail level, the design team cut a wide set of stairs to the basement. The poured concrete steps, with integrated wood seating, warmly invite students to explore the retail areas beyond while also offering both a casual respite spot, and convenient seating for talks and concerts.

在所有细节的基础上，设计团队根据商店的本质-书-开发了新的品牌。他们创造了一个新的标志，由五颜六色的几何图形组成，抽象地描绘打开的书籍，以小写“b”的形式组装。通过为每个形状分配一个代表商店中某个部门的颜色，设计团队为标识和寻路系统、可视条和购物袋创建了统一的图形语言。

Revamping the store on all levels of detail, the design team developed new branding derived from the store’s essence: the book. They created a new logo comprised of colourful, geometric shapes that abstractly depict open books, assembled in the form of a lowercase “b”. By assigning each shape a colour that represents one of the departments in the store, the design team created a unified graphic language for the signage and wayfinding system, visibility strips, and shopping bags.

为了让社区参与书店的重建和95周年纪念，建筑师们邀请了UBC的教授、学生、行政人员和游客来命名他们最喜欢的书籍。然后，他们从每个条目中创建了一个由第95页第一句组成的窗口。当阳光透过这片抽象的文学语言的海洋时，文字在光和影的作用下冲刷了内部，同时也提供了阴影和隐私。

To engage the community in the bookstore’s redevelopment and its 95th anniversary, the architects invited UBC’s professors, students, administrators and tourists to name their favourite books. Then, they created a window frit comprised of the first sentence of page 95 from each entry. As sunlight filters through this sea of abstract literary language, the words wash over the interiors in a play of light and shadow while also providing shading and privacy.
