Maya Somaiya 图书馆

在马哈拉施特拉邦农村的一所学校内，这个小规模的儿童图书馆的增建项目所选择的场地，是现有建筑和学校边界之间的一溜儿，这个场地几乎意味着一个线性的建筑足迹，以调整所选场地的方案。
我们想象图书馆建筑是地面平面的形式延伸。里面是学习的地方，上面是玩的地方。由于周边较大的教学资源有限，我们需要鼓舞人心的空间体验，以吸引学生，并希望在课余时间吸引附近居民区的其他居民。

The site chosen for this small addition of a children’s library within a school in rural Maharashtra, was a sliver between existing buildings and the school boundary, a site that almost implied a linear building footprint to adjust the program for the chosen site.
Alluding to the impetus that children have towards landscape over a building we imagined the library building to be a formal extension of the ground plane. A place inside for study and a place above for play. With the limited teaching resources available in the larger vicinity we needed the inspiring spatial experience to be a magnet to attract students and hopefully other residents from the nearby settlements after school hours. 

在第一次参观场地时，看到一位工程师为几栋学校建筑建造的Geodesic结构，很有意思，我们受到了一定的鼓舞，从建筑智能化的角度去追求后续的项目。因此，我们解析了几种可能的材料配置，从混凝土外壳到砖砌拱顶，以构建这个 "建筑景观"。此时，我们被16世纪加泰罗尼亚瓦库的材料效率、19世纪初古斯塔维诺对它的使用以及最后20世纪中期埃拉迪奥-迪斯特作品中不可思议的细节所吸引。在配合具体场地条件的同时，我们使用了ETH的Block研究小组开发的Rhino Vault来衔接项目。

On our first visit to the site it was interesting to see Geodesic structures built by an engineer for a few of the school buildings, we were somewhat encouraged by this to pursue a project that followed from a construction intelligence. We hence parsed through several possible material configurations ranging from concrete shells to brick vaults for building this ‘architectural landscape’. At this point we were captivated by the material efficiencies of the Catalan tile vault from the 16th century, it’s use by Gustavino in the early 19th century and finally the incredible details from the work of Eladio Dieste from the mid-twentieth century. While working with the specific site condition we used Rhino Vault developed by the Block Research Group at the ETH to articulate a pure compression form for the project.

图书馆位于学生日常活动的交叉点，它成为一个从多个侧面进入的展馆，学生在图书馆内或在图书馆上空时，有可能产生互动。

The library lies at the intersection of a student’s daily routine it became a pavilion accessed from multiple sides with students potentially engaging with books while traversing through the library or over it. 

图书馆的内部空间和座位系统各不相同，地板凳系统朝向边缘，可提供更私密的学习区域，而中心，桌子和凳子则可进行协作学习。自构造的窗托架为横纹，可通过经济的窗截面尺寸提高稳定性。

The library interior has varied spatial & seating systems, a floor stool system towards the edges for a more intimate study area and towards the centre, tables and stools for collaborative study.  The self-structured window bays are striated profiles for increased stability with economical window section sizes.

该项目的施工技术也为我们重新审视全球和地方对立的古老二元论提供了理由。南亚范式内的区域性或地方性，通常表现在记忆中严格的风格形式约束内。这往往是以牺牲材料效率为代价的。

The construction technology for the project also makes a case to reexamine the age-old binaries of the global and local as being in opposition. The regional or the local within the South Asian paradigm typically manifests within strict formal constraints of the style in memory. This is often at the expense of material efficiencies.

我们努力寻找砖瓦的材料和施工效率，希望利用我们的实践所处的知识网络，使我们能够通过全球的扩展能力来丰富区域或地方的内容。

Our effort to search for a material and construction efficiency in brick tile looked to leverage the networks of knowledge that our practices are situated in, allowing us to enrich the regional or local through the extended capacities of the global.

从加泰罗尼亚语的瓷砖拱顶系统到从乌拉圭Eladio Dieste的作品到压紧环细节的各种原理，再到使用瑞士制造的表格查找软件插件，该图书馆不仅是从各个地理位置汲取的教训的产物，而且还有时间/历史上的各种结合。

In using principles ranging from the Catalan Tile Vaulting sytem to the compression ring detail from the work of Eladio Dieste in Uruguay, to using a form finding software plug -in made in Switzerland the library is a resultant of not only lessons learnt from various geographic locations but also various lessons through time/history.
