中國最美書店——潔白的設計風格

最新 07-14

Wutopia Lab最近在西安設計了一個最輕盈潔白的鐘書閣書店；西安是中國最具有歷史感的城市及是十三朝古都。採用300噸的鋼材與3萬米的燈帶所創造的。

Text description provided by the architects. Wutopia Lab recently designed an entirely white Zhongshu Bookstore in Xi』an, one of the most ancient cities in China which used to be the capital for thirteen dynasties, with 300 tons of steel and 30,000 meters of light strips.

我們放棄了直接進入書店的設計，並在四樓的商業空間打造了一個閃閃發光的入口；這要求在不破壞主體結構的情況下，打通五層的樓板進入書店主要區域。我們設計了一個無柱的白色弧線樓梯，由一條白色旋轉飄板強調，周圍是定製白色亞克力所砌築的書牆。讀者們從日常生活中而來，攀階而上，並被周圍書籍所展示的求知和探索精神所鼓舞，進入雲中書店。

We aborted our design of a direct entry into the bookstore, and created a glittering entrance in the commercial space on the fourth floor; this required to make free of the floor slab of fifth floor into the main area of the bookstore without destroying the main structure. We built a pillarless white curvy staircase, highlighted by a spiral white panel, surrounded by custom-made white acrylic walls. Readers coming from their everyday life, heading up the stairs step by step, and are encouraged by the spirit of knowledge and curiosity displayed through the books around them to enter the bookstore over the clouds.

書店的基本空間包括受歡迎的圖書推薦區和公共閱讀區。我們決定在「雲」上打造一個讀書天堂，它應該具有輕盈流線型的自由空間，但為了遵守消防規範的限制，我們不得不挑戰書架的傳統類型和材料。我們第一次使用5mm厚的鋼板來定製曲線的書架。經過精密的結構計算後，隱藏在背面的基礎鋼架被用作支撐結構。3000多米長的鋼板書架作為懸挑結構漂浮在空中。為了實現這樣一個柔軟自由的場所，我們使用了大量時代前沿的數字化理念和技術，每塊鋼板都經過編程優化處理，由數控機床加工生產，然後根據編號在現場組裝。

The basic space of the bookstore consists of popular book recommendation areas and public reading areas. We decided to make a reading paradise over the 「clouds」, and it should have a light and streamlined free space, but in order to follow the restrictions of fire codes, we had to challenge the traditional types and materials of the bookshelf. For the first time, we used 5mm thick steel plates to customize curved bookshelves. After precise structural calculations, the steel frame that is hidden behind the foundation is used as the support of the structure.The over 3,000 meters long steel plated bookshelf floats in the air as a cantilevered structure. Digital concepts and technologies are used in order to realize such a soft and free space: each piece of steel plate has been optimized through programming, processed by CNC machine tools, and then assembled on site according to the numbering.

由曲線勾勒出的自由流動的書架共有十層，充分利用了公共閱讀區的各個角落。圓形倒角讓空間無一處尖角，背板是通體發光的透光亞克力，而白色書店的書籍推薦區域是用細長的螺桿懸吊三角形鋼板，這樣使上面陳列的書籍似乎漂浮在空中；這是鍾書閣系列書店所獨有的一個嶄新的體驗。

The free flowing bookshelf outlined by a curve has a total of ten levels, making full use of the corners of the public reading area. The rounded chamfers leave the space with no sharp corner, the back panel is made by a translucent acrylic; whereas the book recommendation area of the white bookstore is to suspend the triangular steel plate with a slender screw, so that the books displayed above seem to float in the air. This is a brand new experience to the Zhongshu bookstore branches.

公共閱讀區的中央是神廟，樓層的中心，在結構梁的中央矗立著一個精緻的展架，其是鍾書閣的「每月一書」，只能供一個人翻閱和思考。這裡的樓板被玻璃地板取代，這彷彿水面的樓板下隱藏的是空間用作讀書會或小型會議。這個無形的學院和可見的神廟共同構成了鍾書閣的中心 - 一個可以讓人們思想和靈魂得以煥發光輝的神殿。

There is a pantheon in central of the public reading area. In the center of the floor structural beams stands an exquisite displaying rack for Zhongshu"s 「Book of the Month」 selection, and can only be held by one person at a time. The floor slab here was replaced with a glass floor in order to mimic an illusion of water surface. The space underneath it holds a room for reading meeting or a mini conference. This invisible academy and the visible pantheon together form the center of Zhongshu Bookstore — an oasis where the mind and soul can be rejuvenated and set free.

鍾書閣的童書館是隱藏在森林中的水晶結構。它的靈感來自九色鹿的樹木和動物剪影，以保護孩子們的樂園。孩子們會自己尋找隱藏的入口，發現一個溫暖豐富的世界，可供嬉戲的機關與洞穴，也有著此起彼伏的建築天際線，藍天和星空。這是孩子們自己的世界。

Zhongshu Bookstore"s children"s library is a crystal structure hidden in the forest. It was inspired by the trees and animal silhouettes of the nine-colored deer to protect the children』s Wonderland. Kids will find their own hidden entrances, a hidden world of playful tricks and caves, and have the skylines of the architecture, blue skies and starry nights. This is a world for children.

鍾書閣保證了傳統的核心購書區作為靜區之外，還根據影院的流線與運營結合鍾書閣旗下的咖啡和簡餐服務設置了動區，提供更多的餐桌與卡座。創新地將書店與影院兩種文化業態在動區融合在一起。

Zhongshu Bookstore has ensured that the core shopping area is not only a quiet zone, but also a motion zone based on the streamline and operation of the cinema combined with the coffee and meal service with more dining tables and booths. The bookstore, thus, is creatively merged with the cinema.

鍾書閣歷時600天的設計和施工，不僅是鍾書閣本身的升華，也是西安正在經歷的偉大復興。最白的書店裡到處都是有溫度的各種靈魂，有著自由純潔的思想，回憶和期望。

The design and construction of Zhongshu Bookstore which lasted 600 days is not only the transcendence of Zhongshu Bookstore itself, but also represents the great urban revival that Xi』an is currently experiencing. The whitest bookstore is filled with various kinds of ancient souls of various temperatures with pure thoughts, memories, and hopes.

我希望我的建築實踐能夠以豐富的想像和藝術誇張的手法，對現實日常生活進行「特殊表現」，把現實日常生活變成一種」神奇現實」，創造出能夠揭示現實生活真相的日常的奇蹟。」奇蹟是現實日常生活的必然產物，是對現實日常生活的特殊表現，是對豐富的現實日常生活進行非凡的、別具匠心的揭示。鍾書閣就是我們致敬十三朝古都的一首白色神曲。

I hope my architectural practices reiterate our everyday life through immense imaginations and dramatic artistic expressions. I also hop that it transforms reality into a 「magic reality」 and creates an illusion that uncovers bits of truths in our life. Miracle, raising from ordinary life, is believed to be both a magnification and a fated outcome of ordinary life — the stories of which can be colored and told in an extraordinary fashion. Zhongshu Bookstore pays the tribute and performs a white Divine Comedy to the capital of thirteen dynasties — Xi』an.
