架构师提供的文本描述。新图书馆位于吉罗纳中心的一个大长方形地块上。北临繁忙的埃米莉·格拉希特大道，这片土地镶嵌在一个密集而紧凑的高层住宅街区中。这些城市条件-加上这是加泰罗尼亚公共图书馆网络中最大的图书馆-促成了基于两个主要考虑因素的设计战略的制定。

Text description provided by the architects. The new library is located on a large rectangular plot in the center of Girona. Bounded on the north by busy Avenue Emili Grahit, the site is embedded in a dense and compact neighborhood of tall residential blocks. These urban conditions – plus the fact that this is the largest library in the network of public libraries in Catalunya – contributed to the development of a design strategy based on two main considerations.

首先，鉴于图书馆的公民和文化重要性，决定在形式和材料上将图书馆与周围的住宅结构区分开来。第二，该设计在回应当今图书馆作为社会互动场所的新的纲领性挑战的同时，也重新确立了图书馆作为阅读、学习和安静反思场所的传统作用。

First of all, given its civic and cultural importance the decision was made to differentiate the library from the surrounding residential fabric both in terms of its form and the materials. Secondly, while the design responds to the new programmatic challenges of today’s library as a place of social interaction for young and old, it also reclaims the traditional role of the library as a place for reading, study and quiet reflection.

 Floor Plan

根据相应的用户群和活动，将不同的功能区分布在大楼的四层。参观者从新的公共广场进入开放和充满活力的底层，其中包括儿童图书馆和游戏室、礼堂、展览厅、自助餐厅，以及阅读报纸和视频的场所。在上两层有专门的兴趣区和阅读、咨询和调查的空间。行政层位于地下室，只有图书馆人员才能进入。

The different functional areas have been distributed over the building’s four floors according to the corresponding user groups and activities. Visitors enter from the new public plaza into the open and dynamic ground floor that contains the children’s library and playroom, an auditorium, exhibition gallery, cafeteria, and a place for reading newspapers and viewing videos. On the upper two floors there are the specialized areas of interest and spaces for reading, consultation and investigation. The administration level is located on the basement level where access is limited to the library personnel.

一个大的开放楼梯连接着三个公共层面。除了允许流体垂直循环外，楼梯是理解图书馆内空间连续性的一个关键因素，图书馆内部围绕着三个内部庭院组织起来。透明的玻璃墙把所有的庭院都变成了自然光的来源，以及作为室内空间延伸的花园，但每个庭院都有自己的身份。

A large open staircase connects the three public levels. In addition to allowing for fluid vertical circulation, the staircase is a key element for understanding the spatial continuity inside the library, which is organized around three internal courtyards. While the transparent glass walls convert all the courtyards into sources of natural light as well as gardens that are extensions of the interior spaces, each one assumes its own identity.

中央庭院平面和部分的衔接将其转化为一个大漏斗，将自然光带入建筑物的中心。盛气凌人的全高度绿色墙是由移动几何学创造的一系列平台的背景。从地下室层的长方形变成了一层的正方形，然后在一层变成了一个双正方形。在顶层，露台的面积是地面的四倍。南侧的广场庭院中间有一棵树，从一层一直延伸到二楼。第三个露台是东北角的一个单高广场。

The articulation in plan and section of the central courtyard transforms it into a large funnel that brings natural light down into the heart of the building. The exuberant full-height green wall is a backdrop for the sequence of platforms created by the shifting geometry. From a rectangle on the basement level it becomes a square on the ground floor and then a double square on the first floor. On the top floor the patio opens up to become a square four times the size of the ground level. The square courtyard on the south side features a tree in the middle and extends from the first to the second floors. And the third patio is a single-height square on the northeast corner.

图书馆的主要主角是它的许多变体中的光。方形的体积几乎完全是用U形玻璃镶着透明的玻璃，用漫射光线充满了室内，这是一种特别舒适的阅读方式，同时也为周围地区的景色提供了框架。晚上，图书馆就像一个巨大的城市灯笼，欢迎每个人进入这个地方，成为知识、文化和社区生活的一部分。

The principle protagonist of the library is the light in its many variations. The square-shaped volume is almost entirely glazed in U-glass punctuated by sections of transparent glass, flooding the interior with a diffuse light especially comfortable for reading while framing views of the surrounding neighborhood. At night the library glows like a giant urban lantern, welcoming everyone to enter and become part of this place for knowledge, culture and community life.

可持续方面-可持续性方面是项目概念的一个组成部分，图书馆获得了欧洲联盟的“A级”能源认证，以最大限度地利用自然光，采用回收低维护材料的工业化建筑，以及生物气候双U玻璃外墙。此外，该建筑有最大的保温，通风屋顶和绿色墙和庭院系统。

Sustainable Aspects The sustainability aspects are an integral part of the project concept and the library received the ‘Class A’ energy certification of the European Union for the maximization of natural light, industrialized construction with recycled low-maintenance materials, and a bioclimatic double U-glass facade. In addition, the building has maximum thermal insulation, a ventilated roof and a green wall and courtyard system.
