架构师提供的文本描述。Adjaye Associates赢得了为哥伦比亚特区设计两个新的邻里图书馆的公开竞赛。简报呼吁新建筑要灵活、方便、欢迎和邀请。与伦敦“哈姆雷特塔”中的“创意商店”相呼应，图书馆挑战了传统封闭的类型学，引入了一种社会因素，建立了强大的城市和文化领域。

Text description provided by the architects. Adjaye Associates won an open competition to design two new neighbourhood libraries for the District of Columbia. The brief called for the new buildings to be flexible, accessible, welcoming and inviting. Resonating with the Idea Stores in London’s Tower Hamlets, the libraries challenge the traditional closed typology, introducing a social element that establishes a strong urban and cultural remit.

这幅素描-22，500 SF弗朗西斯·格雷戈里图书馆的质量-表明了一种林地的愚蠢-这是戴维斯堡公园内的一座亭子。公园的景观是从内部设计的，而建筑的外部既反映和补充了浓密的树木构成和惊人的自然环境。

The sketch-like quality of the 22,500 SF Francis Gregory Library suggests a woodland folly – a building that is a pavilion within Fort Davis Park. Views of the park are framed from within, while the exterior of the building both reflects and complements the dense composition of trees and the striking natural environment.

从街道上看，大楼似乎随着光线的变化而闪烁，提供了一个镜头，可以透过镜头看到公园。两层楼高的图书馆为三大图书馆服务提供空间：成人、青少年和儿童。还有一个公共会议室和会议室。

Viewed from the street, the building appears to flicker with the changing light, providing a lens through which to see into the park. The two-storey library provides space for three major library services: adults, teenagers and children. There is also a public meeting room and conference rooms.

实现LEED银制，设计策略是高度可持续的，建筑利用自然植被，最大限度地利用冬季阳光曝晒，并控制夏季阳光与一个巨大的天篷上方的展馆。檐篷欢迎市民入内，为街道提供一个有效的过渡空间。结构体系是在支撑幕墙和屋顶的反光几何立面中进行的，而四边形开口网络则继续存在于公园的内部和框架中。

Achieving LEED Silver, the design strategy is highly sustainable, with the building taking advantage of the natural vegetation, maximizing the winter sun exposure and controlling the summer sun with a large canopy over the pavilion. The canopy welcomes the public inside, providing an effective transitional space from the street. The structural system is articulated in the reflective geometric façade that supports the curtain wall and roof, while the network of quadrilateral openings continue inside and frame the views of the park.

墙段

许多窗户都是很深的设置，使座位在孔内，本身，鼓励游客向周围的建筑反射和欣赏景观。建筑物内的材料调色板主要是木材，与林地的环境产生了共鸣。

A number of windows are deep set to enable seating within the aperture, itself, encouraging visitors toward the perimeter of the building to reflect and enjoy the views. The material palette inside the building is largely timber – again, resonating with the woodland setting.
