北卡罗莱纳州立大学亨特图书馆赢得2013年AIA / ALA图书馆建筑大奖。亨特图书馆是北卡罗莱纳州立大学的第二个图书馆，也是学校的智囊心脏，图书馆的名字以北卡罗莱纳州前州长詹姆斯•B•亨特的名字命名。

James B. Hunt Jr. Library at North Carolina State University wins AIA/ALA Library Building Award

In July 2013, the new James B. Hunt Jr. Library at North Carolina State University, designed by Snøhetta in collaboration with local architect Clark Nexsen (formerly PBC+L), received the 2013 Library Building Award from the American Institute of Architects and the American Library Association in recognition of design excellence.

For the design of the new building, Snøhetta and Clark Nexsen worked closely with the NCSU Libraries to set a new benchmark for technologically sophisticated collaborative learning spaces.  It serves both as NC State’s second main library and the intellectual and social heart of the university’s Centennial Campus. The Hunt Library also houses the Institute for Emerging Issues, a think tank led by former North Carolina Governor James B. Hunt, academic offices, visualization and digital media labs and an auditorium. It is designed to be a decisive competitive edge for the university by democratizing access to the technologies driving our economy.

亨特图书馆在校园中影响力巨大。动态流动的内部空间为人们提供一个具有前瞻性的智慧场所，一个多功能和有趣的学习及创新环境。主要的楼层间拥有开阔的中庭空间，开放式楼梯联系上下，各种各样的研究室和学习环境并存在“学习共享”的理念之下。丰富多彩充满活力的家具出现在空间各个角落。同时，这个建筑所具有的汇聚的力量，让人们在这里因交流而收获更多。

Libraries are dynamic and continually changing. While clearly a contemporary structure within a traditional context, the Hunt Library provides a forward-thinking platform for influencing its surroundings. Both technical and programmatic innovations are celebrated as part of the learning experience and provide a versatile and stimulating environment for the user.

Generous open spaces connect all floors of the library and open stairs emphasize an interactive and social environment alongside more focused study areas.  A wide variety of study and learning environments and technology-focused experimentallabs go beyond the now ubiquitous model of the learning commons. “Disruptive” learning spaces with colorful, dynamic furnishings exist adjacent to more traditional study rooms. The building’s design recognizes the power of chance encounters and celebrates the role physical space plays in the intellectual stimulation of its users.

高科技被整合如图书馆的各个系统：交互式高清屏幕为用户提供各种实时数据；游戏试验区能玩视频游戏和对其进行开发，为学生提供了一个有趣的学习休息区；高科技展柜可以让用户使用最新的电子设备尝试最新的技术。办公区集中在一层而非分散在每一层。

Technology zones are integrated throughout the Library as well. Interactive digital surfaces and high definition video display screens deliver both programmed and live-feed information. The Game Lab serves as a testing lab for the video game design and development program, and provides students with a fun study break area. The Tech Showcase allows users to experiment with new technology and borrow the latest electronic devices. Staff areas are consolidated on one floor rather than dispersed in clusters on each floor.

图书馆还用到bookBot自动化图书配送体系。这个系统高效的存储了200万实体藏书，节省了超过2万平方米的面积，节省预算并节约出更多的空间用以技术研究和用作学习空间。

The Hunt Library also employs the use of the bookBot, an automated book delivery system, for the Library’s two million volume collection. This highly effective cost and space saving measure reduced the building area by 200,000 GSF, allowing more of the University’s budget and library space to be allocated towards technology and collaborative learning spaces.

图书馆内自然光线充足。

The LEED Silver building provides abundant natural light, outdoor work spaces and expansive views of the nearby lake. Many sustainable design features are integrated into the building including fritted glass and a fixed external aluminum shading system helps diminish heat gain while maximizing views and ambient natural light. Ceiling mounted active chilled beams and radiant panels provide heating and cooling while rain gardens and green roofs manage storm water.

屋顶平台上可饱览周围开阔的风景还有附近的湖泊。

外表皮铝合金结构的低温玻璃熔块外遮阳系统包含许多可持续性发展特点，在保证图书馆充足视线和自然光的同时，有效的降低了热量。吊顶安装了主动式冷梁和辐射板并利用屋顶花园和雨水花园收集的雨水提供加热和冷却。

纽约布鲁克林的艺术家José Parlá为图书馆创作了一副抽象，简单，诗意且自然的内涵壁画。在这个时代，信息技术是驱动力，但是艺术是我们的根，向书法自然及历史而致敬。

Nature of Language by José Parlá Each of Snøhetta’s buildings incorporates a piece of art made specifically for that project.  The newest addition to the James B. Hunt Jr. Library is the recently completed mural, Nature of Language, by Brooklyn-based artist, José Parlá.

Nature of Language is an abstract landscape of words, phrases, names, and poetic thoughts.  Although illegible at first, the work becomes readable through feeling.

In an era where technology is the driving force of communication, art reminds us of our roots and calligraphy pays homage to nature and the history of languages.
