设计概念

Design Concept

在当今的现代语境中，未来的图书馆是以人而非书籍为核心的地方，作为长期以来，人们一直渴望能够聚集、学习、探索的空间。未来的图书馆能够为人们提供知识——从认识到难忘的情感体验的力量，这些体验能够将公民从日常现实中分离出来，让他们踏上超越时间和空间的旅程。图书馆本身具有变革性，在最广泛的意义上是可持续的，成为一个为后世代服务其用户和整个社会的机构。

除了作为存放书籍的建筑外，图书馆还是一个真正的社会性的公众空间，以及植根于时间和地点的信息库。该设计的灵感来自武汉盘龙石的元素——这是一座由城市雕刻、由武汉人定义的建筑。图书馆乍一看似乎是一个巨大的体量，但在接近时，它的空间特征解构了空间，将城市拉入地面，邀请他们体验错综复杂的历史和知识天堂。上部向天空开放, 武汉之云存在于天地之间，犹如盘龙石，旨在成为城市的象征，是武汉集体记忆和文化认同的体现。

In today’s modern context, the library of the future is a place where people, not books, are at its core. People have long held a desire for spaces where they can gather, where they can learn, where they can explore. The library of the future is equipped to empower people with knowledge — it recognizes the power of memorable and emotional experiences that have the ability to detach citizens from everyday reality and allow them embark on a journey transcending time and space. The library itself is transformative, and sustainable in the widest possible sense to become an institution that serves both its users and society as a whole for generations to come.

Beyond being a building for books, a library is a truly social and civic space, as well as a repository of information rooted in place and time. The design takes its inspiration from elements of Wuhan’s Pan Long Stone- an architecture that is sculpted by the city, and defined by the people of Wuhan. The library at first glance appears to be a monolithic mass- however upon approach, its spatial features deconstructs the space, drawing the city in at ground level, inviting them to experience an intricately rich paradise of history and knowledge, before opening up to the sky above. The Cloud of Wuhan exists between ground and sky, much like pan long stone, it aims to become the city’s emblem, a manifestation of collective memory and cultural identity of Wuhan.

与环境对话——回归城市

A Library In Dialogue With Its Surroundings

在这个充满活力的城市中，我们设想了一个与周围环境持续对话的图书馆。图书馆不仅是储纳书籍之处，更是传递知识、激发创新和培养多元文化的市民体验中心。

In this vibrant city, we envision a library that is in constant dialogue with its surroundings. The library is not only a place to store books, but also a civic experience center that transmits knowledge, stimulates innovation and cultivates multiculturalism.
