A8设计中心：理想的设计图书馆是怎样的？可否推荐一个您理想的图书馆给A8设计中心？这个图书馆打动到您的地方是哪里？

方卓欣：我相信就如一千个人眼中有一千个哈姆莱特一样，每个人心中都有他的理想图书馆。我个人认为，图书馆虽然是公共建筑，但是在空间上却充满了公共与私密的矛盾性。我眼中的理想的图书馆一定是与时代和环境相吻合的产物。比如在当下，生活中有如此多的信息媒体与传统的书本媒体共同存在，那么我们应该怎样为书本媒介和图书馆建筑空间找到合适的定位，以适应当下时代和特定环境的需求，就成为了去寻找这个理想的图书馆的关键。

A8 Design Center:What is the ideal design library? Can you recommend your ideal library to A8 Design Center? Where did this library impress you?

Fang Zhuoxin：I believe that just as there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, everyone has different ideal library in his or her heart. I personally think that although the library is a public building, its space is full of contradictions between public and private. The ideal library in my eyes must be a product that matches the time and the environment. For example, in the current life, there are so many information media and traditional book media coexist, then how should we find a suitable position for the book media and library building space to meet the needs of the current era and specific environment, and this is the key to find this ideal library.

推荐图书馆：多摩艺术大学图书馆（TAMA Art University Library）

伊东丰雄的在2007年完成的多摩艺术大学图书馆（TAMA Art University Library）。图书馆总建筑面积5640平方米，占地面积2220平方米，地下一层，地上两层，地上部分为钢框架混凝土结构，地下部分为钢筋混凝土结构。

图书馆位于东京郊区的一个公园后面略微倾斜的小坡上。在修建图书馆前，多摩艺术大学非常缺少公共建筑空间，所以伊东先生不只是要设计一个图书馆，而且是需要创造一个校园的公共活动空间。

因此，图书馆建筑内部提供了可穿越的通道和很多公共空间。整体建筑最直观的特点是由一连串的混凝土拱形结构组成。通过运用自由网格和拱形结构的处理，让不同功能对空间的需求得到了满足。同时拱形的结构以一种非常柔和的方式让空间既分离又连续。伊东先生使用了内部复杂，外表优雅的手法和建筑语言，完成了一个非常有意思的图书馆建筑。

最直观的感受是当时第一次看到的感觉：彷如有着一种孩子般很轻柔，温暖而又活泼的感觉。伊东先生似乎是借鉴了传统建筑的拱形结构语言，但是又通过现代的技术和手法做了处理（例如使用混凝土包裹钢结构），使得建筑整体非常的完整，连续，轻薄和优雅。连续的拱形结构在回应了地形的高差因素的同时，也形成了内部连续的空间。同时从外部，图书馆的开放性也得到了保留。拱形结构形成的非常大的类似半圆形窗洞，联系了图书馆内外的空间和活动。可以说不论是设计专业的参观者还是大多的非设计专业的使用者，都能够很清晰的感受到建筑师的想法和整座建筑的独特之处。这是我认为多摩图书馆非常了不起的地方。

Recommended library: TAMA Art University Library

Tama Art University Library by Toyo Ito was completed in 2007. The total construction area of the library is 5640 square meters, and the ground area is 2220 square meters, with one floor underground and two floors aboveground. The aboveground part is steel frame concrete structure, and the underground part is reinforced concrete structure.

The library is located on a slightly sloping hill behind a park in suburban Tokyo. Before the library was built, Tama Art University was short of public space, so Mr. Ito not only had to design a library, but also needed to create a public space for the campus.

As a result, the library building provides passageways and many public spaces within it. The most intuitive feature of the building is a series of concrete arches. Through the use of free mesh and arched structure, the space needs of different functions are met. At the same time, the arched structure makes the space separate and continuous in a very soft way. Mr. Ito used a complex interior, elegant exterior and architectural language to complete a very interesting library building.

The most intuitive feeling is the first time to see the architecture: a feeling of soft, warm and lively just as if a child. Mr. Ito seems to reference from the arched language of traditional architecture, but with modern techniques （such as the use of concrete to enclose the steel structure) to make the building complete, continuous, light and elegant. The continuous arch structure responds to the elevation difference of the terrain and creates a continuous space inside. At the same time, from the outside, the openness of the library is also preserved. The arched structure forms very large, semicircular windows that connect the spaces and activities inside and outside the library. You can say that both design professional visitors and most non-design professional users can clearly feel the architect's idea and the unique of the whole building. That's what I think is really remarkable about the TAMA Art University Library.

A8设计中心：网络时代线下图书馆的竞争力或核心价值在哪里？

方卓欣：在我看来，在任何时候，书本或者图书馆媒介存在非常重要的价值在于，能够为我们提供一个获取“知识的完整性”或者说“完整性信息”的地方。（The Integrity of information and knowledge）

这个完整性(integrity)是非常重要的东西，特别是在我们当下这个时代。并不是说我们无法从其它媒介获取完整的信息，而是大部分书本以外的媒介都倾向于传达片段式的信息（例如网络，手机app等）。片段式的信息最大的问题在于它无法为我们构建一个完整的评判事物的标准和体系，同时它又会不断的麻痹神经让人感觉似乎获得了很多的信息。在这样的片段式信息体系之上，人们很容易做出偏激或者片面的判断，而无法感知到事物的本质。其实当下社会的很多问题和这个现象可以说不无联系。而书本相反，能够为我们构建完整的信息体系，让我们在一个更加完整和丰富的信息框架中，结合现实的事物，做出更好的理解和判断。

所以，我们需要书本的存在，作为记载和传播“完整信息”的媒介，时刻提醒我们完整信息的重要性。而图书馆就为我们提供了一个可以获取这样的信息的空间和场所。

A8 Design Center:Where is the competitiveness or core value of offline libraries in the Internet age?

Fang Zhuoxin：In my opinion, the very important value of the existence of books or library media at any time is that it can provide us with a place to obtain the integrity of information and knowledge.

This integrity is a very important thing, especially in our current era. It is not that we cannot obtain complete information from other media, but most media other than books tend to convey fragmented information (such as the Internet, mobile apps, etc.). The biggest problem with fragmented information is that it cannot build a complete standard and system for us to judge things. At the same time, it will constantly paralyze the nerves and make people feel like they have obtained a lot of information. Based on such a fragmented information system, it is easy for people to make extreme or one-sided judgments and cannot perceive the essence of things. In fact, many problems in current society are not unrelated to this phenomenon. On the contrary, books can build a complete information system for us. They allow us to make better understanding and judgments in a more complete and rich information framework through combining real things.

Therefore, we need the existence of books as a medium for recording and disseminating "integrity of information" and remind us of the importance of complete information at all times. The library provides us with a space and place to obtain such information.
