安藤忠雄 l 大阪「儿童书本森林中之岛」-设计风向

由大阪出身的建筑家安藤忠雄设计、捐赠的「儿童书本森林中之岛」位于大阪的日本中之岛公园内，其中充满了色彩丰富的书籍。安藤忠雄先生希望通过书本和艺术文化来提高孩子们丰富的想象力和创造力。通过设计，他将书籍和书架单元整合到建筑中，设法保持了开放整洁的室内环境。弧形的墙壁被设计成网格状的书格，每个格子都存放着一本朝外的书，书本本身成为该空间的一种吸引人的装饰元素。

sited within japan’s nakanoshima park in osaka, a children’s book forest designed by tadao ando is expressively clad in colorful books. the renowned japanese architect is widely known for his emphasis on both atmospheric simplicity and spatial complexity. with his latest children’s library, the designer manages to maintain an open and uncluttered interior by integrating books and shelving units into the architecture. sweeping, curved walls are conceived with gridded pockets, each hosting an outward facing book which itself becomes an engaging and ornamental element of the space.

该项目旨在为儿童和成年人提供一个喘息的机会，让他们从快节奏、即时的数字时代中解脱出来。因此，馆内选书跳脱「儿童读物」，也不依照「建议阅读年龄」来陈列，广泛地收藏包含童书、故事书、烹饪书、艺术书、摄影书，甚至其他语言的书籍，希望孩童可以中立且随意的浏览阅读，让无拘的本性带领孩童探索，从而发觉自发性阅读和理解的乐趣。

the project is introduced to offer both children and adults a respite from the fast-paced, instantaneous nature of the digital age. the library comments: ‘the line is becoming blurred between the flow of information coming in mainly from social media and the information that can be gained from printed books that cannot be edited instantaneously.’ with artfully curated interiors, books are organized not by genre or age-range, encouraging spontaneity and exploration.

安藤忠雄以注重尺度的方式来组织空间，空间向上三层，以及由低矮倾斜的天花板界定的更私密的区域。这些三层高的部分被夹层分隔开，最引人注目的是表达了网格状的排架，偶尔会被狭窄的垂直窗口通道打断。

tadao ando organizes the space with an attention to scale, with spaces rising upwards three levels together with more intimate areas defined by low, sloping ceilings. divided by mezzanines, these lofty triple-height sections most dramatically express the field of gridded shelving, occasionally interrupted by narrow, vertical window channels.
