架构师提供的文本描述。一段时间以来，我所见过的最有趣的项目之一，穆沙西诺艺术大学博物馆(Musashino Art University Museum)

Text description provided by the architects. One of the most interesting projects I've seen in a while, the Musashino Art University Museum & Library proposes a new relation between the user and the books, surrounded and sheltered by them.

我们有机会问窦藤本关于在信息时代设计这个节目的挑战，就像你可以在上面的视频中看到的那样。

We had the chance to ask Sou Fujimoto about the challenge of designing this program in the information age, as you can see on the above video.

这个项目是日本一所著名艺术大学的新图书馆。它涉及到设计一座新的图书馆大楼，并将现有的建筑改造成一个艺术画廊，这将最终创造一个新的图书馆和艺术画廊的融合。

This project is a new library for a highly distinguished art universities in Japan. It involves designing a new library building and refurbishing the existing building into an art gallery, which will ultimately create a new integration of the Library and the Art Gallery. 

下面描述的项目是位于整个开发项目第一阶段的新图书馆的计划。

The project described hereinafter is the plan of the new library which sits within the first phase of the total development.

作为一个巨大的方舟，总共有200000个单元，其中10万个将在一个开放的档案馆中，而另一半在一个封闭的档案馆中，位于这个面积为6500㎡的双层图书馆内。这是一个由书架组成的图书馆。

Acting as a huge ark, a total of 200,000 units, of which 100,000 will be in an open-archive, while the other half, within a closed-archive, rests within this double-storey library of 6,500㎡ in floor area. It is a library made from bookshelves.

当我想到组成一个终极图书馆的元素时，我就想到了书、书架、灯光和气氛。我想象着一个以螺旋形的形式被一个书架包围的地方。

When I thought of the elements which compose an ultimate library, I imagined books, bookshelves, light and the atmosphere. I imagined a place encircled by a single bookshelf in the form of a spiral. 

包含在无限螺旋内部的域是库。由9米高的墙壁层层而成的书籍林立，其间不时有大孔洞。

The domain encased within the infinite spiral itself is the library. An infinite forest of books is created from the layering of 9m high walls, punctuated by large apertures. 

书架的螺旋顺序还在继续，最终将场地外围作为外墙，使建筑物的外部外观与图书馆共享书架的元素组成。

This spiral sequence of the bookshelf continues, eventually wrapping the periphery of the site as the external wall to allow the external appearance of the building to share the same elemental composition of the bookshelf as the library.

在大学景观中，一个人遇到了巨大的书架，瞬间就成了一个图书馆，但却以其梦幻般的简单而令人吃惊。它是最像图书馆的图书馆，也是最简单的图书馆.

One’s encounter with the colossally long bookshelf, within the university landscape, registers instantaneously as a library, yet astonishing in its dreamlike simplicity. It is the library most library-like and the simplest library.
