【作品介紹 Description】

坪坦書屋位於中國湖南省的侗族鄉村。這座三層高的小型圖書館完全用木材建造，服務著坪坦鄉中心小學的400多位學生。和傳統的圖書館空間不一樣，坪坦書屋雙螺旋的樓梯既是垂直的交通空間，也是圖書館的座位本身。坪坦書屋的設計完全遵從侗族傳統木構房屋的坡屋頂和不帶一粒釘子的榫卯結構。書屋有四個立面：一面望向田野，一面望向操場，兩側的立面則直接作為書架。它不是一個傳統的圖書館，而是讓孩子們能一邊學習一邊玩耍的地方，是中國鄉村圖書館的新範式。通過一些參與式設計的過程，我們贏得了村民和學校的信任，借此機會我們也找到了書屋建造的讚助者，得以一起完成這個項目。書屋項目的價值在於兩點。第一，它與坪坦小學的孩子有直接的聯系。除了讓他們能在書屋里學習和玩耍，我們希望他們能意識到在這個瞬息萬變的世界里，他們的本土文化中的愛與希望是多麽重要。第二點與建築學科有關。當代建築為了滿足開發商的需求，幾乎失去了靈魂，在香港這樣的大都市里尤為嚴重。我們希望坪坦書屋能讓人們意識到建築的社會性也同等重要，社會影響力並不一定跟巨額資金掛鉤，設計也不僅存在於高端項目之中，而建築本身就必定有它存在的意義。

Pingtan Book House is located in the Dong Minority village of Pingtan, Hunan, China. This small timber structure, three stories high and approximately 80 sqm in area is entirely built in timber. The building is located within a primary school courtyard serving more than 400 local children. Rather than a building with floors and rooms, this is a building consisting of two interwoven spiral staircases, a double helix that in turn becomes both the vertical circulation and the seating for the children. The idea of is simple, taking the traditional typology of the “Galan” timber frame house and adapts it to a contemporary design, where elements such as stairs, walls, windows and floor are reinterpreted. Of the four elevations, two are dedicated to views, of the courtyard and adjacent rice fields, while the other two are reserved for books. This is no ordinary children’s library, it is a place where kids read and play at the same time, a new paradigm for rural village libraries in China.
