架构师提供的文本描述。图书馆在维尔纽斯郊外。现有大学校园的相对安静和繁茂的位置即将发生重大变化。未来几年，这里将出现一个新的教育设施集聚点。图书馆位于松木附近，在主要人行横道和一条新的通路的交叉口。森林的邻里启发了图书馆的空间概念-舒适的室内空间及其与自然的联系。

Text description provided by the architects. The library is on the outskirts of Vilnius. A relatively quiet and leafy location of the existing university campus is about to change significantly. In upcoming years, a new agglomeration of education facilities will emerge here. The library is located near the pinewood, at the intersection of the main pedestrian path and a new access road. Neighborhood of the forest has inspired a spatial conception of the library - cozy inside spaces and their linkage with the nature.

一个亲密的圆形剧场广场欢迎客人。玻璃门厅是广场空间的延续。和外面一样，它有混凝土地板和陶土外墙。底层作为中央流通空间，还包括一个会议厅、自助餐厅、期刊阅览室和露天露台。随着走得更远，一个人正在进入几层的阅览室，这些阅览室由一个中庭连接，集中在森林景观上。两个玻璃正面面对木材和照亮树木在夜间。白天，树木被阳光照射，成为室内的视觉部分。在内部，白色主宰和曝光书籍以及人。

An intimate amphitheater-plaza is welcoming a visitor. A glazed entrance hall is a continuation of the plaza space. The same as the outside, it has concrete floor and terracotta facades. The ground floor, which functions as a central circulation space, also includes a conference hall, cafeteria, periodicals-reading room with an open-air terrace. As walking further, one is entering reading rooms located on several floors which are connected by an atrium, focusing the view to the forest. Two glazed facades face the wood and illuminate the trees at night. At the daytime, the trees are sunlit and become a visual part of the interior. The spaces are diverse and easily transformed. In the interior, white color dominates and exposes books as well as people.

我们认为图书馆应该散发情感的能量，因为它是一个非物质的创造力和灵性的地方。因此，我们选择了意味深长、变化莫测的风景作为主要的建筑语言。立面的布置使得所有的连接和缝隙都是水平的，并且在建筑物周围平行运行，尽管倾斜的表面有不同的角度。房间通过窗户开口自然通风。坚固的南侧隔墙使人们和书籍免受阳光直射和过热的影响。

We believe that the library should radiate an emotional charge because it is a place of non-material creativity and spirituality. Therefore, we have chosen the scenery of expressively and unpredictably varying silhouettes as the main architectural language. The volumes are clad with white terracotta elements. The facades are arranged so that all joints and gaps are horizontal and run paralelly around the building despite different angles of leaned surfaces. Rooms are naturally ventilated via window openings. Solid south-side partitions hide people and books from direct sun and overheating.
