架构师提供的文本描述。谢泼德分馆虽然是哥伦布大都会图书馆系统中最小的图书馆，但它正在证明它可能对谢泼德社区产生了最大的影响。谢泼德社区是一个重新崛起的历史街区，曾经被发明为“哥伦布之门”。威廉·谢泼德博士负责建立这个社区，建立在他的“水疗法”水疗/治疗设施和Alum Creek冰公司周围。两人都得益于他们沿着明矾溪的位置。该社区一直迫切需要一个“门户”本身，有其可识别的入口和连接的明矾溪被建设的I-670高速公路带走。

Text description provided by the architects. The Shepard Branch, while being the smallest Library in the Columbus Metropolitan Library’s system, is demonstrating it may be having the largest impact on the Shepard Community, a reemerging historical neighborhood once coined “the gateway to Columbus”. Dr. William Shepard was responsible for founding this community built around his “water cure” hydro-therapy spa/treatment facility and the Alum Creek Ice Co. both benefiting from their location along Alum Creek. The community has been in desperate need of a “gateway” itself having its identifiable entrance and connection to Alum Creek taken away by the construction of the I-670 freeway.

该网站位于社区的东部边缘，在其最突出的“入口”在I-670附近。该网站还夹在两座城市公园之间，这些公园由沿着Alum Creek走廊的州自行车道连接。图书馆同时成为完美的“社区门户”和“城市公园连接”

The site is located along the community’s east edge at its most prominent “entrance” off I-670. The site is also sandwiched between two of a series of City Parks connected by the State bike trail along the Alum Creek Corridor. The Library simultaneously becomes the perfect “Community Gateway” and “City Park Connection”

该建筑表现为一个大房间与大型社区“门廊”，允许视觉和实物进入和透明。简单的盒子被微妙地扭曲分开，引用了流动的水可能产生的造地能力，同时对Alum Creek在形成Shepard社区中的作用的重要性进行了点头。静悄悄的扭曲形式是包青铜不锈钢瓦，其倒影与环境，很像那些流动的水。这些瓦是由邻居的孩子…发明的“龙鳞”希望是瓦和空间内继续培养想象力和灵感，同时提供一个独特的门户进入经验的谢泼德社区。

The building is expressed as one large room with large community “porches” allowing visual and physical entry and transparency. The simple box is subtly twisted apart referencing the place-making ability flowing water might generate while giving a nod to the importance of Alum Creek’s role in the formation of the Shepard Community. The quietly twisting form is clad in bronze stainless steel shingles whose reflections play with the environment much like those of moving water. The shingles are coined “dragon scales” by the neighborhood’s children…the hope is the shingles and the space within continue to foster imagination and inspiration while providing a unique gateway entry experience to the Shepard Community.
