阿贾耶事务所最新方案：塔博·姆贝基总统图书馆，知识“粮仓”

塔博·姆贝基总统图书馆位于南非约翰内斯堡，旨在成为一个基于非洲视角的学习、研究、演讲和文化交流场所。新图书馆将具有多种功能，包括博物馆、临时展览空间、研究中心和特殊收藏、礼堂、妇女权益中心等等。

Located in Johannesburg, the Thabo Mbeki Presidential Library is a space of excellence, learning, research, discourse and cultural exchange predicated on the African perspective. The new Library will feature a multiplicity of functions including a museum, temporary exhibition space, research center and special collections, auditorium, women’s empowerment center, reading room, shop, cafeteria, digital experience space, seminar rooms, office space and an archive center.

该图书馆将存放姆贝基总统和其他重要非洲历史人物的文物和重要文件，为保存和传播非洲历史和知识提供基础设施，成为当地和国际学者的新支点。

The archive center will act as a repository for the papers, artifacts and key documents of President Mbeki and other significant African historical figures. Providing infrastructure for the preservation and distribution of African history and knowledge, the Library will become a new anchorpoint and campus for local and international scholars.

新建筑将非洲古代和当代历史的无形知识，通过建筑的形体加以表达。该图书馆作为本地知识载体的同时，也作为一个连接空间，将非洲文艺复兴的进程纳入结构的考量。新建筑以知识作为“营养”的隐喻，参考了粮仓的结构——为粮食生产的扩展，以及饲养-种植-收获的系统化循环提供空间。

Conceptually, the new building makes visible the invisible knowledge of ancient and contemporary African history through both form and program. Sited in Riviera, Johannesburg, the Library will harbour the knowledge of the land whilst acting as a space for connection in which the advancement of an African Renaissance becomes the premise of the structure. Represented in design as a metaphor for knowledge- based nourishment, the new building references the structures of granaries — which allow for the extension of grain production and the systematization of cycles of feeding, planting and harvesting.

“粮仓”的概念将建筑作为一种工具，来重新想象“储存和维系”的形式表达。八个圆柱形的谷仓的形式是当代的，穹顶的开口考虑到场地内的阳光朝向，为每个区域创造独特的氛围。

Using architecture as a tool to reimagine storage and sustenance into form, the granary stores guide the overall building concept. The eight cylindrical granary-styled forms are made contemporary through the topping of domes with apertures that take into consideration the solar orientation of light within the site to create a distinct atmosphere for each of the programs within.

这些房间的内部基础设施确保建筑能够容纳多种功能。它们通过一个“室内巢穴”（indoor den）连接起来——水平的间隙空间延伸至整个建筑的长度，为社区提供了一个新的公共空间。

The internal infrastructure of these chambers see to it that the building accommodates a multiplicity of programmatic functions. They are connected through an ‘indoor den’ — a horizontal interstitial space that extends the length of the entire building to provide a new public space in service to the community.

夯土立面上使用的当地的压缩泥浆、用当地石材制作的水磨石地板，以及当地木材包层，共同减少了结构的整体碳足迹。通过对约翰内斯堡当地的亚热带高原气候的具体了解，利用屋顶光电太阳能板来收集太阳能。地热供暖和加厚的墙壁利用了土壤热量，白天可储存热量，晚上温度下降时释放出来为建筑供暖。

Use of the locally sourced compressed mud in the form of a rammed earth facade, terrazzo flooring made from local stone and timber cladding from local wood species collectively reduce the overall carbon footprint of the structure. Through a site-specific understanding of the subtropical highland climate of Johannesburg, solar harvesting is utilized through state of the art photo-voltaic solar panels, located on the rooftop absorbing sunlight and generating electricity. Geothermal heating and thickened walls harness the earth’s energy by storing heat during the day and releasing it later at night to warm the building when temperatures drop.

塔博·姆贝基总统图书馆将非洲大陆的思想和形式融合在一起，成为一种挖掘集体记忆的有力手段。这嵌入在非洲智慧中的记忆，见证了学习与生存的象征物化为形式。

The architecture of the Thabo Mbeki Presidential Library brings together continental African thought and form as a powerful means of tapping into collective memory. This memory, embedded within the intelligence of the African consciousness, now sees a typology of learning and a typology of sustenance materialize into form.
