架构师提供的文本描述。根据阿尔多·罗西的说法，每个城市都需要一个自习室。图书馆是城市的自修室。米开朗基罗的劳伦蒂图书馆提出了一个问题：图书馆是城市的内部还是外部？

Text description provided by the architects. According to Aldo Rossi, every city needs a study room. A library is the study room for a city. Michelangelo’s Laurentian library brings up the question: is the library the interior or exterior of a city?

无论男女，无论贫富，都欢迎来到图书馆。在现代城市中，它是一个社会包容的异类空间。从某种意义上说，“图书馆”就是集体的“家”。图书馆是一个思考的地方。关于知识的分类，图书馆也是一个文明的关键程序。

Woman and man, rich or poor are all welcome to the library. It is a socially inclusive heterotopias space in modern cities. In a way, a “library” is the “house” for the collectives. Library is a place for thoughts. As it concerns with the classification of knowledge, library is also a critical program to a civilization.

我们试图通过打破阅读区和存储区之间的分离来重新创造图书馆的程序。通过将这两个空间交织在一起，形成一个抽象的知识场，人们可以很容易地从感知空间移动到投影空间。

We attempt to reinvent the program of library by breaking down the separation between reading and storage areas. By having the two spaces intertwined, an abstract field of knowledge is formed, one could easily move from the perception space to the projection space.

循环模式与人的知识思维轨迹有着直接的联系。流通的行为变成了创造的行为。不同知识之间的交叉联系是自发的，鼓励跨学科研究。批判性的思想潜藏在这个知识的矩阵中。

There is a direct connection between the pattern of circulation and the trajectory of one’s thought about knowledge. The act of circulation becomes an act of creation. Cross-connections between different knowledge are spontaneous, and inter-disciplinary studies are encouraged. Critical thoughts are latent in this matrix of knowledge.

我们把形式上的转换建立在“垂直折叠板”的建筑上。当我们指定固体为结构和储存时，中间的空隙是阅读和聚会的集体空间。

We base our formal transformation on the architectonic of a “vertical folded-plate.”As we designate the solids to be the structure and storage, the voids in-between are collective space for reading and gatherings.
