新西兰基督城中央图书馆

由Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects设计

复兴的光明灯塔

在2010年和2011年的15个月中，新西兰南岛最大城市基督城遭到四次大地震的破坏，摧毁了一座以艺术、文化和周边自然美景闻名的城市。不久之后，该市制定了基督城中央恢复计划，重点关注17个锚点项目，这些项目将成为中心城市发展的催化剂。恢复工作不仅仅是恢复地震前的情况，而是建设一座更加美好的城市，包括改善大基督城及其社区的社会、经济、文化和环境福祉。

Téranga，新的基督城中央图书馆，是最新的锚项目要完成，并作为一个视觉上惊人的象征希望，团结和重生，将从根本上改变居民和游客体验基督城的方式中心。

The library is one of the first public buildings to open in downtown Christchurch since the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011.

在设计过程的早期，建筑师与马塔波波雷慈善信托基金合作，该组织的目标是确保当地恩吉·图赫里人的价值观、愿望和叙述在整个恢复过程中得以实现。克赖斯特彻奇。他们对建筑设计的影响是巨大的——从建筑材料到物理取向，整个Téranga都有着丰富的祖先、传统知识和文化。

This cultural representation is first evident in the golden veil that cloaks the building in a striking, graphic façade. Its visual quality intensifies at sunset when the day’s last rays of light draw out a depth of sheen. The vacillating form of the veil is inspired by the surrounding rolling hills that can be seen from the upper floors of the library, and the long, thick blades of the local harakeke flax that is a fundamental natural resource for traditional cultural practices.

The structural engineering on the project ensured the library could withstand future potential earthquakes of the magnitude that destroyed so many of Christchurch’s buildings in 2011. Tūranga was constructed to very stringent performance criteria, and is designed to sustain minimal structural damage during a large earthquake thanks to an integrated, self-centering mechanism that allows the building to sway and then return to its original position.

Part of the innovative set up is a seismic force-resisting system made up of a series of large-scale concrete walls that can rock and shift to isolate the building from peak earthquake accelerations during a significant seismic event. Each wall has high tensile, pre-tensioned steel cables that clamp the wall to the foundations with approximately 1,000 tonnes of force per wall. The stretch of these cables return the building to its original position after an earthquake, ensuring the library will stand as a unifying landmark in Christchurch for generations to come.
