架构师提供的文本描述。这个位于芝加哥大学校园中心的建筑被各种不同的建筑所包围。从哥特式四边形到南方，从哥特式四角楼到南方，石灰石布鲁塔派建筑(Limestone Brutalism)从内施的里根斯坦图书馆(Regenstein Library)向东延伸，亨利·摩尔纪念碑(Henry Moore)和乐高雷塔(Legorreta)的多彩学生宿舍(Legorreta)位于北面，西边则是一栋没有什么可与之相关的。

Text description provided by the architects. The site in the center of the University of Chicago Campus is surrounded by a variety of different buildings. With a mixture of styles, ranging from the gothic quadrangle to the south, the Limestone Brutalism of Netsch’s Regenstein Library to the east, the Henry Moore monument and Legorreta’s colorful Student Housing to the north and a building to the west, which will be replaced by a new Science Building. There is not much to relate to.

问题是使用自动存储和检索系统(ASRS)存储350万本书。在简短的期望中，建议把那些放在一个设计良好的“盒子”以上的等级。为了尽量减少对空地的侵犯，使阅览室和保藏部成为最宜人的空间，并与我们挑战习惯性惯例的方法相一致，我们选择将书籍置于等级以下，在那里可以更好地控制它们的环境，以便以较低的成本达到所需的恒温和湿度为60度，相对湿度为30%。这样，以人为导向的空间就可以位于最小的椭圆形玻璃穹顶中，这符合环境，因为它违背了传统的关系。

The problem was to store 3.5 million books with an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS). The expectations in the brief suggested to house those in a well designed “Box” above grade. In an effort to infringe as little as possible with the open space, make the Reading Room and the Preservation Department the most pleasant space to be in and in line with our approach to challenge habitual conventions, we opted to put the books below grade, where their environment can be better controlled to achieve the desired constant temperature and humidity of 60 degrees, 30% RH – at less cost. The people oriented spaces could thus be located at grade in a minimal elliptical glass dome, which fits the context, because it defies conventional relationships.

墨菲·扬恩(Murphy Jahn)认为，它已经被该大学的领导层所接受，因为它代表了芝加哥大学作为知识进步催化剂的使命。有趣的是，这发生在一个没有教授建筑和工程学科的机构里，但是有一种精神可以超越其他学科的局限。科学，物理，自由和应用艺术开始，当其他人认为他们是完整的。

Murphy Jahn think it has been embraced by the leadership of the University, because it represents the mission of the University of Chicago as catalyst for the advancement of knowledge. It is interesting that this happened at an Institution where the disciplines of Architecture and Engineering are not taught, but a spirit prevails to go beyond where others stop. Science, Physics, the liberal and applied Art start, when others think they are complete.

一旦就设计达成共识，正常的过程就开始解决这个问题：舒适性和可持续性，轻型控制，结构，生命安全，操作和维护。

Once a consensus on the design was reached, the normal process started to solve the problem: comfort and sustainability, light-control, structure, life-safety, operation and maintenance.

结构网格-外壳120×240英尺和绝缘玻璃代表了一个非常小和智能的系统之间的不同的外部条件和所需的内部舒适性。

The structural grid-shell of 120 x 240 feet and the insulated glazing represent a very minimal and intelligent system for mediating between the varying exterior conditions and the desired interior comfort.

在室内，照明、空气供应和家具之间是无缝结合的，这些都是用实心的欧洲白橡木制成的。

At the interior there is a seamless integration between lighting, air supply and furnishings, which were fabricated in solid European White Oak.
