濱海圖書館是荷蘭MVRDV （更多關于他們：MVRDV on gooood）建筑事務所與天津市城市規劃設計研究院共同設計建造的城市新型未來圖書館。其坐落于濱海文化中心（一期）的東側，是濱海文化中心項目中與市民生活關系最緊密的公共建筑之一。濱海圖書館建筑面積總33700㎡，地上5層，地下1層，設計藏書量135萬冊，設置閱覽席位1500個,具有國際一流的數字媒體閱檢和實體書籍借閱功能。

Binhai library，a cutting-edge futuristic library, was joint-designed by MVRDV (more about: MVRDV on gooood)and TAUPD. Located on the east side of Binhai Cultural Center ( First Phase), Binhai library is the one that most close closely connected with citizens among all the culture buildings that banding together. The overall floor area of the library is 33700㎡, with 5 floors  above the ground and one level basement. With 135 million-book collection and 1500 reading seats, the library has the international first-class digital book retrieving and borrowing system.

歡迎來到“濱海之眼”
Welcome to Binhai Eye

館內的透明玻璃幕墻保證了面向城市公園的全景體驗，而背后的球體空間“濱海之眼”宛如一只“眼睛”觀察著我們所在的城市，既為圖書館公共空間塑造了具有強烈視覺沖擊的空間焦點，同時也表現出天津濱海新區世界級的文化抱負。正像“眼睛”的功能一樣，圖書館成為人們探究世界，世界認知濱海的新窗口。

The transparent glass curtain wall ensures people enjoy the whole scene of the park from inside. The ball volume, which was called Binhai Eye, observes our city like a real eye. This amazing design not only brought the people a strong visual impact for the whole library space, but also showed them a world-class cultural aspiration of Tianjin Binhai New District. Just like a real eye, Binhai library becomes a platform for the people to explore the world and at the same time a showroom for the world gets to know Binhai.

天津濱海圖書館中方中方項目負責人趙春水總建筑師介紹：“在濱海文化中心城市設計階段，我們的愿景是將圖書館的公共性發揮到最大限度，將其作為不同功能區域開放、流動的載體，同時連接室內與室外，連接公園與長廊，成為濱海文化中心公共空間系統的一個延伸?！?/em>

Principal Architect in Change， Chunshui Zhao explains : “During the general design phase, by maximizing the accessibility for people, our vision is to reinforce its public attribute. The library connects the indoor and outdoor spaces，meanwhile plays a continuity role of public space in terms of a flowing carrier. It links the cultural park and the cultural corridor together, and becomes an extension of Binhai Cultural Centre public space to the park.”

“由于城市設計的調整，眼球的位置發生了變化?！?/em>中方項目負責人趙春水總建筑師說，“原來中標方案眼球的位置是在角部，朝向室外。后來跟MVRDV方面Winy Maas等建筑師進行了充分的交流，雙方達成了一致，將眼球移到了室內，并且兩側進行了封閉，使眼球成為了以書山為背景室內空間的核心。這個直徑為21m的球體現在作為多功能球形演示廳使用。 球體表面為鋁合金穿孔板，內側安裝LED點光源，內光外透，可實現全彩變化?！?/em>

“Due to the adjustment of the urban design, the position of The Eye has been changed.” Principal Architect in Change Chunshui Zhao said ,“ The position of The Eye was located at the corner of the library toward the outdoor, during the concept design phase. After the discussion with Winy Maas, cofounder of MVRDV, both design teams agreed that moving the eye indoor and sealing the west and east fa?ade off with glass curtain wall at the same time. The Eye becomes the core space of indoor. The function of this 21-meter diameter eyeball is a multi-functional hall. The surface of The Eye is covered by the perforated aluminum plates with point LED lights inside, which shows the diversity of colorful changes.”

書山
Book Mountain

濱海圖書館的另一設計概念“書山”，是基于對信息時代圖書館模式的理解提出的。傳統圖書館“藏、借、閱”之間的界限正隨著閱覽媒介的變化及大眾對文化需求的普及逐漸消融。取而代之的是各功能之間的流動、交融。公共空間則是消融各功能分區的有效“溶劑”。圖書館的公共空間正逐步成為城市廣場、街道等公共空間系統的延伸。中庭“書山”正是這樣一個發展趨勢下所產生的。它不僅聯系各個功能區塊，滿足了基本的閱覽功能，同時創造了一個承載多種活動類型的均質化公共空間，讀者的各種行為都可以在這個空間下找到適合的場所。

Besides The Eye concept, another design concept of Binhai library is “Book Mountain”which based on the comprehension of the new library pattern during the new information era. Due to the advance of reading medium and the increasing need for public culture, the boundary among “collecting, borrowing and reading books “is changed and disappeared in the traditional library. Instead, the flowing and mixing space among different functions appeared. Public space is an effective medium for dissolving the boundary. “Book Mountain”is just this kind of public space. The atrium connects all the functional areas, while provides enough reading area, and it becomes an even more public space, which could undertake multiple activities at the same time.

設計中“書山”隨著球的體積逐漸變化，而顯現出梯田的形態。由于天花板的高度同樣如等高線般變化，因此空間體驗會更富有三維感——山坡的等高線決定了書架的位置。較平緩的山坡讓人們逐級而上，形成東方美學中“登高望遠，逐理求索”的意境。

The shape of the “Book Mountain”is formed as a terrace，following the shape of The Eye volume. The contour lines of mountain resulted in the heights of bookshelves, and the space brought us more three-dimensional feeling. Ascending the stairs, the gentle mountain slope creates an artistic conception of “climbing high and gazing far”.

光線是情感的主創造者，同時它以微妙的方式引人深思。趙春水總建筑師介紹，“ ‘書山’是服務于讀者的重要空間，物理環境的舒適度是作為方案深化的主要參考條件。因此，在同天津建筑設計院劉景梁大師等專家共同研究后，決定在大廳頂部設計了直徑18m的采光天井，并在‘書山’空間中設置了連續的照明燈帶，通過智能照明控制系統進行整體協調控制，‘書山’照明與球體成像效果相結合，滿足裝飾亮化、場景布置、主題渲染等多種需求。在符合閱覽空間照度及照明均勻度要求的同時，也為讀者帶來豐富的空間體驗和在視覺、空間上與自然緊密對話的閱讀體驗?！?/em>

“Light was the soul of the atrium that could lead the reader to ponder. Therefore, after discussing with Jingliang Liu and other experts from TADI, an 18m-diameter light court was designed on the top of the atrium, and the continuous light strips were designed among the “Book Mountain”which could be controlled by intelligent lighting control system. The light of ‘Book Mountain’and the ball digital image combined together to satisfy the needs of light decoration, stage setting and theme rending. It meets the requirement of the reading area illumination and provides readers an amusing space experiences at the same time.”

造山 
Creating the Mountain

天津濱海圖書館工程主持人田垠介紹說：“中庭“書山”也為結構設計提出了很大的挑戰。由于“書山”空間承載了多種類型功能要求，相較于傳統中庭空間其尺度相對較大。因此，圖書館在四層、五層采用54m x 60m跨度的空間桁架聯系兩側功能區域，同時確保這部分功能并為下部“書山”空間創造連續無柱空間提供了結構基礎。而“濱海之眼”則采用與上部主體結構脫離的雙層球形網殼結構形式?！?/p>

The project director Architect of Tianjin Binhai Library, Yin Tian said: “The ‘Book Mountain’ brought a big challenge to the structure design. In order to accommodate the multiple functions, Book Mountain was designed comparatively huge, compared to the traditional atrium space. Therefore, a 54m*60m space truss is designed to connect two sides of functional areas and provides a non-column space for the ‘Book Mountain’ on the 4th floor and 5th floor. The main structure of The Eye was designed as double spherical reticulated shells without connecting with the upper structure.”

“這個項目的限時限額推進，對于我們來說最重要的如何塑造一個符合行為尺度，并滿足不同層面物理環境舒適度的‘書山’。 ”工程主持人田垠說，“基于多種類型閱覽、交流行為的尺度分析，我們將‘書山’人員活動區的基本尺度定義為高度為480mm模數，寬度不小于900mm，踏步高度160mm。背板材質采用穿孔吸音板，在不影響‘書山’整體形態的情況下，解決了回聲和混響時間過長的物理問題?！?/em>

“Due to the limited time and limited fund of the project, the most important thing for us is how to create a humanization scale for reader and how to achieve a comfortable physical environment on different levels of ‘Book Mountain’. Based on scale analysis of reading and communication behavior, we defined the basic measure pattern of the shelf height as 480mm, and weight as no less than 900mm with 160mm stair height. Perforated acoustic board was used as the material of shelf backboard, which could solve the echo problem and avoid the long reverberation time problem.”

“同時為了塑造室內外連續的整體意向，建筑立面金屬格柵的模數也采用480mm的模數一一對應，可有效避免書籍受到陽光直射，同時盡可能使閱讀空間獲得自然采光，為營造綠色、節能的公共圖書館建筑提供了設計基礎?！?/em>

“To creating a continuity feeling of indoor to outdoor, the metal grille of fa?ade used 480mm pattern corresponding to the indoor shelves, which could not only avoid the direct sunlight on books, but also provides more natural lighting for reading area，which is also the precondition of green building design.”

“書山”空間采用地板送風及側下送風，中部回風的空調形式；針對該空間進深較大的特點，深化設計中采用內外分區的空調系統，通過對該區域進行氣流組織溫度場模擬計算可以得出空調區域溫度分布比較均勻，可滿足舒適度要求，給讀者創造出舒適的閱讀環境。

Layered air conditioning system was used for “Book Mountain”, including under-floor air distribution system, side air distribution system, and middle part air return system. The air conditioning system was partitioned as the inside part and outside part during the deep design phase to meet the needs of this huge and deep atrium space. By simulating the airflow, we calculated the temperature of different areas which to be found are relatively even which could also satisfied the comfortable demands and provide readers an easeful reading environment.

“最近‘濱海之眼’獲得很多關注，中國主流媒體評價它是中國最美圖書館。會有更多人去使用它，感受全新的空間體驗，這跟我們的初衷一樣。我們希望創造充滿生機活力、適應現代生活模式、更加面向未來的新型圖書館。這次是繼天津圖書館（山本理顯設計工場+天津市城市規劃設計研究院）之后的再次實踐，我們通過從城市設計到單體建筑的全過程設計模式，將設計觀念從始至終加以落實執行。當然在這種復雜并持續的過程中會有些想法會有所變化，但設計師的全程介入是項目高完成度的有效保證?！?/em>中方項目負責人趙春水總建筑師說，“建筑師設想并建構空間，而空間則能引發大家的關注與思考。我們接受這些反饋，并不斷地去探索新建筑的可行之路?！?/em>

‘Binhai Eye’ acquired a lot of attention recently. It was awarded as the most beautiful library in China by Chinese mainstream media. More and more people go to experience it and enjoy the stunning space, which respond to our original intention. Our vision is to create a dynamic space and a new library that could perfectly adapted to the modern life and face to the future. Collaborated with MVRDV，this is the second realized TUPDA library project after Tianjin Library，which collaborated with Riken Yamamoto. Involving in the whole design process from urban design to the architecture design, the implementation of concept was carried out from the beginning to the end. Some ideas have been changed because of the complicated and continuous process, but the designers still leaded the project to a high degree of completion.” Principal Architect in Charge Chunshui Zhao said, “The duty of architect is imaging and constructing the space, and the duty of space is attracting attention and triggering thinking. By taking in all of these voices and suggestions, we will make great endeavor to design exploration.”
