分馆图书馆的身份不是由象征着纽约公共图书馆(New York Public Library)作为一个机构的标志性外观展现出来的。相反，门面完全消失了，展示了一个充满活力的公共空间和内部街景，以创新的方式利用朴素的材料，创造出丰富的纹理和表达。

The branch library’s identity is not put forth by an iconic façade symbolizing the New York Public Library as an institution.  Instead, the façade disappears completely to reveal a dynamic public space and internal streetscape utilizing modest materials in innovative ways to create a rich palette of texture and expression.

地势把三层楼连接在一起，不仅给规划最深的角落带来亮光和风景，还提供了无尽的互动和启迪的机会。适应性强的开放式规划以及书籍、艺术和技术的融合，让居住者通过提供一种方便、直观的景观，提供了广泛的公共和私人空间，吸引了居住者。认识到建立社区的唯一途径是赋予个人权力。

The topography connects the three floors in a way that not only brings light and views to the deepest corners of the plan, but provides endless opportunities for interaction and enlightenment.  The adaptable open plan and integration of books, art and technology engage the occupant by providing an accessible, intuitive landscape offering a wide spectrum of public and private spaces, recognizing that the only way to build a community is by empowering the individual.
