架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目背后的理念是简单的和象征性的同时：书籍，知识的本质，沟通和文化传统。正如公共图书馆的功能所要求的那样，它对每个人都是开放的-这就是为什么选择了透明立方体的形状，即夜间闪亮的身体。就像书遵循立陶宛第一本邀请“带我去读”的箴言.

Text description provided by the architects. The idea behind this project was simple and symbolic at the same time: books, the essence of knowledge, communication and cultural tradition. As the function of a public library requires, it is open to everyone – and that is why the shape of a transparent cube, a shining body at night has been chosen. As if books follow the precept of the first Lithuanian book inviting “take me and read me”...

公共图书馆仍然是立陶宛小城镇地方社区的重要文化中心和聚会场所，乌特纳的A.和M.Miškinis公共图书馆就是其中之一。经过全面改造，建成了三层建筑，建筑面积扩大到3100多平方米，整个技术基础设施发生了变化。然而，扩建的范围受到中央公园和附近小型住宅建筑邻近程度的限制。

Public libraries remain important cultural centres and spaces of gathering for local communities in smaller towns of Lithuania, and A. and M. Miškinis Public Library in Utena is definitely one of such cases. After complete reconstruction it grew up to become a three-storied building; its area was enlarged up to more than 3100 square meters; the whole technological infrastructure was changed. However the scope of extension was restricted by the proximity of the central park and small-scale residential buildings nearby.

重建任务是发展一种现代和合理的建筑结构，最大限度地利用空间以满足社区的需要，因此，除了展览和存放空间外，还有一个会议中心、一个展览大厅、一个儿童文学部分、一个期刊区、一个媒体、可上网的个人工作场所和其他需要容纳的空间。

The reconstruction assignment was to develop a modern and rational structure of the building with maximum use of space to meet the needs of the community, thus beside exhibition and depository spaces, a conference centre, an exhibition hall, a children literature section, a section for periodicals, the mediatheque, individual working places with access to the Internet and other spaces needed to be accommodated.

由于阅读是建筑的主要目的，建筑师们设计了一个雕塑式的外观，他们用百叶窗包围着ς的外墙，暗示了摆在书架上的书籍的形象和节奏。在里面，入口的空间贯穿整个建筑-几乎没有门，只有玻璃墙。到玻璃天花板的强大中庭充满了光和空气，创造了一种开放和自由的感觉。已经取代传统楼梯的坡道起到了六层楼之间垂直连接的功能，也使残疾人和有小孩的家庭能够进入。

As reading is the primary purpose of the building, the architects have designed a sculptural exterior and by surrounding the faςade with blinds they have suggested the image and rhythm of books lying on shelves. Inside, the space at the entrance stretches throughout the whole building – there are almost no doors and no but glass walls. The powerful atrium up to glass ceilings is filled with light and air and creates a sense of openness and freedom. Ramps that have replaced traditional stairs perform the function of a vertical link between six levels of the building and also make it accessible to disabled people and families with small kids.

在玻璃的背景下，带有黑色栏杆的坡道成为一个强有力的细节，暗示着不断的运动，而黑白的使用则提醒印刷文本的着色。在灰色和无色的玻璃空间中，橙色的一些细节抓住了人们的注意力-除了提供信息之外，它们还提供了生活和舒适的感觉。图书馆的技术基础设施符合国际标准：该系统已实现计算机化，图书馆的虚拟空间在书架旁边隐约可见地存在。该图书馆是专门为立陶宛著名文化人物Antanas和Motiejus MišKiniai兄弟而建的图书馆，摘录自A.Miškinis的诗，可在图书馆的内墙上找到。

Ramps framed with black railings against the background of glass become a strong detail implying incessant movement while the use of black-and-white reminds the colouring of printed texts. Some details of orange grasp attention in otherwise grey and colourless glass space – beside providing information they also give the feeling of life and cosiness. The library’s technical infrastructure meets international standards: the system is computerised and the virtual dimension of the library exits invisibly next to bookshelves. This library being dedicated to prominent Lithuanian cultural figures, brothers Antanas and Motiejus Miškiniai, excerpts from A.Miškinis’ poems are to be found on inner walls of the library.

建筑本身的建筑结构是内部概念中的一个重要元素。内部，以及外部是统一使用的自然材料：混凝土，木材，金属和玻璃。建筑物不是特定功能的容器，而是环境的一个活动组件。所有细节都以简洁而原始的设计为主题。当这个项目被付诸实施时，彩色书籍的最初想法被转变为更安静和复杂的灰色-黑色调色板，这使得人们可以专注于书籍和访客；这就强化了图书之家的想法，它培养了一种社区意识。

The construction structure of the building itself is an important element in the concept of the interior. The interior, as well as the exterior is united in the use of natural materials: concrete, wood, metal, and glass. The building is not a container of a specific function, but an active component of the environment. All details yield to the theme of laconic and brutally primitive design. While the project was being put into life, the initial idea of colourful books was changed into more quiet and sophisticated palette of grey-black, which permits to focus on books and visitors; this intensifies the idea of the House of Books, which fosters a sense of community.
