“为了反抗一项事业”，这座巨大的空白混凝土中央图书馆-索兰肖奥里尼大学(Shoolini University)的约加南达图书馆(Yogananda)-俯瞰着一个美丽的绿色山谷。这座建筑坐落在风景中，是一座冷漠的建筑，安详的位置，它突出地反映了其功能的本质，在物理上体现了这个生物技术校园

'To rebel with a cause’; The big blank concrete central library- the Yogananda library of the Shoolini University in Solan, overlooks a beautiful green valley. Sitting in the landscape as an impassive built piece, peacefully positioned, the building stands out reflecting the nature of its function and physically manifests the philosophy of this biotechnology campus.

从概念上讲，这四层结构是一个紧密相连的体积的空洞和固体，连接整个建筑物作为一个大的功能板。它一开始是一条狭长的带外，但阴凉的空间在较低的两层。这些是高年级学生和教师的研究小组和讨论领域。

Conceptually, this four-floor structure is an intense interconnected volume of voids and solids, connecting the entire building as a large functional plate. It starts as a narrow strip of an extroverted, yet shaded space on the lower two floors. These are research cells and discussion areas of senior students and faculty.

上两层是更深的等高线退去，前面保持对齐。这允许一个大的中央庭院，将均匀的间接光线注入所有已建楼层的各个部分。庭院以空隙和体积的形式有趣地连接在一起，因为它们扩展到露台，成为一个自然的光容器。这种不受限制的光线，但控制的温度和视野，带来了所需的气候控制在建筑物内。

The upper two floors are made deeper as the contours recede and the front remains aligned. This allows a large central courtyard that pours uniform indirect light into all the parts of the built floors. The courtyards connect playfully in voids and volumes as they broaden up to the terrace to become a natural container of light. This unrestricted light but controlled temperature and views bring the required climatic control within the building.

在功能上，图书馆的书籍堆放在外围，一排排的阅读海湾形成了一个中心的内环，是一个明亮的绿色鼓舞人心的空间。这种在学习环境中的物理内向和哲学反思带来了一种沉默的感觉，为教育校园的知识和学习创造了一个神圣的空间。

Functionally, the library books stack up on the periphery, with a row of reading bays forming an inner ring with a center, being a bright green inspiring space. This physical introversion and philosophical introspection in a study environment brings in a sense of silence, creating a sacred space for knowledge and learning in an educational campus.

露台是中央庭院郁郁葱葱的延伸。人们可以把书从传统图书馆的书堆里拿开，在清爽的草地上看书，在这些冬天的山麓晒日光浴。绿色植物保持结构的潜在温度控制，以增加舒适的内部。

The terrace is a lush green extension of the central courtyard. One could bring books away from the confines of a traditional library stack and read on the refreshing grass, sun bathing on these winter foothills. The greens keep the latent temperatures of the structure in check to add to comfort within.

绿色的屋顶带来了戏剧的水平，因为一个人通过这些大台阶上升。人们可以随意地爬上宽敞的楼梯，用台阶冲浪看书。坐在台阶上，从上到上的灯光和强大的定向音量，从而创造了帮助拉人和提升他们，字面上。因此，循环空间被重新解释为明亮的黄色、干净的白色和原始的灰色对比。他们互相对抗，给了这条全新的路线，一种令人耳目一新的感觉。

The green roofs bring in a level of drama, as one ascends through these large steps. One could casually climb the spacious stairs and use the steps to surf for books. Seating on steps, lighting from top onto the books and the strong directional volume thus created aids in pulling people and uplifts them, literally. The circulation space is thus reinterpreted as a bright yellow, clean white and raw grey contrast. They work well against each other to give this reinvented route, a refreshing look and feel.

最后，但并非最不重要的是，公平的表面混凝土外观是一个双面现象.混凝土的内面承载着图书馆整个书架系统及其图书的承载。混凝土墙由看似相交的混凝土柱支撑，是对生物技术最基本元素的解释，也是大学标志的反映。混凝土和凹面玻璃的清洁外观使建筑的基本功能得以发挥。

Last, but not least, the fair faced concrete facade is a two-face phenomenon. The inner face of concrete bears the load of the entire shelving system of the library and it's books. The concrete wall is supported by seemingly intersecting concrete columns; an interpretation of the most fundamental element of biotechnology and reflection of the university's logo. The clean facade of concrete and recessed glass brings out the fundamental function of the building.

空间上层建筑和海拔的排他性，提升了图书馆在校园中的作用，并对校园的国际敏感性进行了评价。它给了大学一个恰如其分的形象，一个理想的图标。

The spatial superstructure and the exclusivity of the elevation, elevates the role of the library on the campus and evaluates the campus for it’s international sensibility. It gives the university an apt image, an ideal icon.
