架构师提供的文本描述。这个占地10，500平方英尺的图书馆位于炮台公园城一栋住宅高层的底层两层，是为了满足这个迅速发展的新社区的需求而设计的。作为一个新的分支，没有根深蒂固的社区使用模式，这是至关重要的设计建立一个存在，以吸引游客。

Text description provided by the architects. This 10,500-square-foot library, which occupies the bottom two floors of a residential highrise development in Battery Park City, was commissioned to meet the needs of this new and rapidly growing community. As a new branch without an ingrained pattern of community use, it was critical for the design to establish a presence that would attract visitors.

建筑师们提供了一个向周围社区宣布图书馆的设计：在图书馆最突出的拐角处，一个两层楼高的全玻璃立面加强了街道上的行人和室内空间之间的联系。明亮、多彩的儿童区占据了街道正面的空间，使旁观者清楚地看到，这一设计将标准图书馆的堆叠和阅读区域转变为21世纪的愿景。

The architects provided for this with a design that announces the library to the surrounding community: a fully glazed two-story façade at the library’s most prominent corner enhances the connection between the passerby on the street and the interior spaces. The bright, colorful children’s section occupies the space adjacent to the street frontage, making it evident to onlookers that the design transforms the standard library stack and reading areas into a vision for the 21st century.

该图书馆主要作为一个自助服务系统运行，要求布局易于浏览和特别友好的用户。开放、明亮的空间为公众创造了一个欢迎的环境，而书籍和期刊展示、家具、书架和问讯台的设计则促进了最有效的流通。整个图书馆的寻路是直观的，因为视觉线索在布局和颜色的使用。

The library operates primarily as a self-service system requiring the layout to be easy to navigate and exceptionally user-friendly. Open, bright spaces create a welcoming environment for the public, while the design of the book and periodical displays, furniture, shelving, and information desks facilitates the most efficient circulation. Wayfinding throughout the library is intuitive due to visual cues in the layout and the use of color.

该建筑开发商分配的空间在空间布局上很笨拙，分为三个不同的区域-入口区、一楼空间和夹层。动态天花板作为三个区域的物理和视觉统一体，其折叠平面引导眼睛通过图书馆。中央楼梯是庆祝而不是隐藏，鼓励用户探索两个层次的分支。部分功能和部分雕塑，水磨石成品钢和混凝土楼梯传达了一个持久和整体的形象，这是抵消的负空间，其中有一个诱人的，丰富多彩的长凳。

The space allotted by the building’s developer was awkward in its spatial arrangement, divided into three distinct areas - an entry area, first floor space, and mezzanine. A dynamic ceiling acts as a physical and visual unifier for the three zones and its folding planes guide the eye through the library. The central staircase is celebrated rather than hidden, encouraging users to explore both levels of the branch. Part functional and part sculptural, the terrazzo-finished steel and concrete stair conveys a durable and monolithic image, which is offset by the negative space underneath it where an inviting, colorful bench resides.

该项目是纽约公共图书馆分支机构中最环保的，利用了许多可持续的设计策略，并有望获得LEED黄金认证。照明系统结合了一个明亮和功能的图书馆空间和节能解决方案的需要。安装日光调光装置可以感知进入光线的数量，并对相邻的线性固定装置进行补偿。通过在较小、较少使用的空间中使用低能量装置和占位传感器，照明的能源效率得到进一步提高。从木材制造商的断头台回收的木材，由重新使用的卡车轮胎制成的地毯砖，以及书架、门框和结构成员中的回收钢，都是认真考虑所有所用材料的生命周期的努力的一部分。该部门的电力消耗由偏远地区使用风能、太阳能和水力发电等可持续能源产生的能源来衡量和抵消。

The most eco-friendly of the New York Public Library branches, the project utilizes numerous sustainable design strategies and is on track to receive LEED Gold certification. The lighting system combines the need for a bright and functional library space and an energy efficient solution. The installation of a daylight-dimming device senses the amount of daylight coming in and dims the adjacent linear fixtures to compensate. The energy efficiency of the lighting is further enhanced through the use of low energy fixtures and occupancy sensors in small, less frequently used spaces. Reclaimed wood from a wood manufacturer’s cutoffs, carpet tiles fabricated out of repurposed truck tires, and recycled steel in the bookshelves, doors, doorframes, and structural members are part of the effort to take into careful consideration the life cycle of all materials used. The branch’s power consumption is measured and offset by energy generated in remote locations using sustainable sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectricity.

具有丰富的自然光，空间戏剧性的视线，以及诱人的，高效的流通路径，该分支机构立即成功地吸引游客和鼓励社区使用。

With abundant natural light, spatially dramatic sightlines, and inviting, efficient circulation paths, the branch was immediately successful at attracting visitors and encouraging community use.
