架构师提供的文本描述。图书馆位于一个明显的长方形地块，周围是没有任何建筑意义的公寓楼。前面的立面俯瞰着帕西奥·德埃斯特雷马杜拉，一排排的树木充当了一道薄薄的屏障，抵御不断的交通流动。

Text description provided by the architects. The library lies in a significantly rectangular plot, surrounded by apartment buildings of no architectural importance. The front façade overlooks the Paseo de Extremadura and a row of trees acts as a thin protection barrier against the incessant traffic flow.

这一地点几乎没有决定设计；无论是城市景观还是建筑都没有形成任何模式。这种咄咄逼人的环境似乎导致了一种专注于内部的建筑。

The site barely determined the design; neither the urban landscape nor the buildings set any patterns. The aggressive environment seemed to lead to an architecture focused on the interiors.

这是一个社区图书馆，有一个详细的计划，以前由城市的文化当局，建立了不同房间的近似表面。

It is a neighborhood library, with a detailed program previously developed by the city’s cultural authorities, which established the approximate surfaces of the different rooms.

 Longitudinal Section

这种规模的图书馆最好有两层楼，因此有必要在地面上建造两层楼。地面必须延伸到第三层地下，以容纳公用设施和车库。

Libraries of this size work best with two floors and therefore it was necessary to build two levels above the ground. The surface had to be extended with a third underground level to house the utilities and the garage.

长方形的体积符合现有的地块和主要通道是从Granja de Torrehermosa街，面向西北和帕西奥德埃斯维亚杜拉。用户一旦通过了安全措施，就会发现自己在一个直接与以下方面有关联的大厅中：

The rectangular volume fits in the available plot and the main access is from Granja de Torrehermosa Street, facing the northwest and the Paseo de Extremadura. The users, once they have gone through security, find themselves in a lobby directly connected with:

-报纸和杂志。

- Newspapers and magazines.

-儿童和青年图书馆。

- Children’s and young adults’ library.

-信息和贷款。

- Information and loan.

-会议厅。

- Meeting hall.

-24/7自修室。

- 24/7 study room.

最后一个房间有独立的入口，当图书馆关闭时仍然开放。

This last room has an independent access and remains open when the library is closed.

上面提到的房间分布在地板的周边，四个立面上都有窗户。

The above-mentioned rooms are distributed along the perimeter of the floor with windows on the four façades.

我们打算避开周围的客观环境，所以我们在东北面、西南面和街道之间引入了一系列庭院，以限制从内部的视角。庭院可用于儿童图书馆的某些活动。

We intended to avoid the view of the impersonal environment that surrounds the building, so we introduced a series of courtyards between the northeast and southwest façades and the streets, in order to limit the perspective from the inside. The courtyards may be used for certain activities of the children’s library.

从大厅，足够宽敞的举行展览和新书演示，楼梯或电梯通向顶层和最具象征意义的空间，主要部分。

From the lobby, spacious enough to hold exhibitions and new book presentations, a staircase or an elevator lead to the top floor and to the most symbolic space, the main section.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

两层的走廊作为一个元素，将不同的用途划分为两个部分，特别是在一楼，休息区、图书管理员办公室、会议厅和洗手间沿西南面摆放。

The hallways of both floors act as an element that divides the different purposes and groups them together in two sections, especially on the first floor, where the rest area, the librarian office, the meeting hall and the restrooms are placed along the southwest façade.

主书区占其他分区，面向西北、东北和东南。这个房间是精心设计的。它接受周围的阳光周围，这似乎与传统的光从北方分配给图书馆。我们利用各种各样的阳光控制玻璃作为过滤器，有两个目的：避免阳光的直接影响和作为一个半透明的屏幕从环境。这个房间由两个长的部分组成，一个是书架和多媒体设备的使用者可以进入的，另一个是上层的，充满阳光的，由两个玻璃板组成，里面有透明的大玻璃板，外层有垂直带的丝网印刷玻璃，与白色混凝土外墙平齐，布局与书架上的书籍相同。两个玻璃板之间的分隔允许使用空间作为维护区域。

The main book section occupies the other subdivisions, facing the northwest, northeast and southeast. This room was carefully designed. It receives sunlight all around the outer perimeter, which seems to contradict the traditional light from the north assigned to libraries. We have taken advantage of the large variety of sunlight-controlling glass as a filter with two aims: to avoid the direct impact of sunlight and to act as a translucent screen from the environment. The room consists of two long sections, one accessible to the users with bookshelves and multimedia equipment, and a second one on the upper floor, flooded with sunlight, made of two panes, the inner one with big transparent glass plates and the outer one with screen-printed glass in vertical straps, leveled with the white concrete outer walls, with the same layout that the books on the shelves. The separation between two glass panes allows using the space as maintenance area.

在东北面，一楼相对于底层来说是倒退的。第一个结构被揭开，并创建了一个庭院，从图书馆的主要部分有三个窗口。为了保护它不受意见的影响，我们遵循了与较低房间相同的原则。

In the northeast façade the first floor is setback in relation to the ground floor. The first structure is uncovered and creates a courtyard with three windows from the main section of the library. We have followed the same principle as in the lower rooms to protect it from the views.

通信模块位于我们所描述的两级白盒的顶部。空调设备在屋顶上，隐藏在白色的混凝土玻璃和一个水平的格子中。这样，从附近较高的建筑物就可以看到干净的屋顶。

The communications module is on top of the two-level white box that we have described. The air conditioning units are on its roof, hidden by the white concrete panes and a horizontal latticework. This way clear and clean roofs can be seen from the nearby taller buildings.

该项目包括一个地下楼层，有一个可容纳15辆汽车的车库，有装卸维修室的空间，还有工作人员更衣室和洗手间。进入上层的通道是通过三层限制使用的楼梯。

The project is complete with an underground floor with a garage for fifteen vehicles, space to load and unload maintenance rooms, and staff locker-rooms and restrooms. The access to the upper levels is through a restricted use staircase for the three floors.
