架构师提供的文本描述。在一个开放的设计竞赛中，丹顿·科克·马歇尔为一所国际知名大学新图书馆设计的方案巧妙地连接了过去和现在。它位于校园湖边的一个高度可见和中央的地方，它的圆形形状响应了强烈的圆形建筑和道路，区分了校园的模式。作为地球建筑，它巧妙地将建筑和景观结合在一起，成为被占领的热带地貌。更多的图片和建筑师的描述后，休息。

Text description provided by the architects. Selected in an open design competition, the scheme by Denton Corker Marshall for a new library for a university of international standing deftly bridges the past and the present. Located in a highly visible and central site on the side of the campus lake, its circular form responds to the strong circular buildings and roadways that distinguish the campus pattern. Conceived as earth architecture, it cleverly integrates building and landscape to become an occupied tropical landform. More images and architects' description after the break.

一系列的塔楼是从地形上投射出来的。从概念上讲，他们从印度尼西亚古代在石碑上刻智慧的做法中汲取灵感。传统的参考资料使现代印度尼西亚成为一系列抽象的石碑-“普拉萨蒂”-从圆形草皮覆盖的土堆中升起。不同高度的花岗岩包层片是用窄窄的琉璃带“雕刻”出来的，允许过滤光进入下面的体积。

A series of towers projects from the landform. Conceptually, they take inspiration from the ancient Indonesian practice of inscribing wisdom on stone tablets. The traditional reference makes the leap into modern day Indonesia as a series of abstracted stone tablets - 'prasasti' - rising from the circular grass-covered earth mound. The granite clad tablets of varying heights are ‘carved’ with narrow glazed bands allowing filtered light into the volumes below.

湖边的圆形地貌被侵蚀，开辟了一个圆形剧场，有成熟的桃花心木俯瞰湖面。除了识别主入口外，这种侵蚀还允许光线进入内部体积。丘屋书堆在五层楼内，位于圆形平面图的外缘。在绝缘的土壤覆盖层和混凝土屋顶下，珍稀手稿、书籍和研究/参考材料存放在远离直接阳光的稳定环境温度中。固体石材覆层和窄带玻璃进一步降低热量，减少空调负荷。

The circular landform is eroded on the lakeside opening up an amphitheatre with mature mahogany trees overlooking the lake. As well as identifying the main entry, this erosion allows light into the interior volume. The mound houses book stacks within five storeys, located on the outer edge of the circular plan. Beneath an insulating soil cover and concrete roof, rare manuscripts, books and research/reference materials are stored in a stable ambient temperature away from direct sunlight. Solid stone cladding and narrow bands of glazing further reduce heat gain, reducing the air conditioning load.

更接近中心的是阅读区域，它们的形式各不相同，取决于各个平板的形状，从大的开放式空间到亲密的阅览室。俯瞰湖面，楼上有各种会议室和会议室。该图书馆取代了以前分散学生活动的教职员工和系图书馆，并纳入了新的设施-广场、食品场、银行、零售和一个临时展览空间-图书馆成为了大学的新学生中心，是与其他人以及知识互动的场所。

Closer to the center of the volume are reading areas which vary in form, depending on the shape of the individual tablets, from large open plan spaces to intimate reading rooms. Overlooking the lake, the upper floors house a variety of meeting and seminar rooms. By replacing faculty and departmental libraries, which previously scattered student activities, and incorporating new facilities – plaza, food court, bank, retail and a temporary exhibition space – the library becomes the university’s new student hub, a site for interaction with others, as well as with knowledge.

内部导航是明确的构想；开放的内部提供清晰的视线和鼓励互动。垂直交通主要是通过行人坡道，鼓励读者步行而不是使用电梯，并享受室内的空间品质。一系列曲线坡道占据了书库和阅览室之间的空隙。天窗标志着具有重要意义的轴被切割到大厅和书堆上面的土墩里。

Internal navigation is clearly conceived; open interiors offer clear lines of sight and encourage interaction. Vertical transportation is predominantly via pedestrian ramps, encouraging readers to walk rather than use lifts, and to enjoy the interior’s spatial qualities. A series of curvilinear ramps occupies the void between the stacks and reading rooms. Skylights marking axes of significance are cut into the mound above the lobbies and book stacks.

雨水被捕获用于现场使用，废水被处理和回收，能源消耗被最小化。在2.5公顷的土地上保持现有的成熟树木和植被是设计中的一个重要部分，它与绿色屋顶一起，确保保留大量的土地作为景观。图书馆是一个鼓舞人心的地标，属于并提升了大学校园。

Rain water is captured for use on site, waste water is treated and recycled and energy consumption is minimized. Maintaining existing mature trees and vegetation on the 2.5 hectare site is an important part in the design which, together with green roofs, ensures a large area of the site is retained as landscape. An inspiring landmark, the library belongs to and enhances the university campus.
