AIA JURORS’ Comments:

Jurors’ comments: “The jurors found this design engaging and dynamic. The central vortex was described as creating a focal area for an interesting series of spaces for the community. The building section illustrated for the jurors, the attention for both an urban and internal connectivity. The various adjoining spaces spiral inward in celebrating how the library can become a community center for the neighborhood.”

Ted and his team have previously submitted the scheme to the Dalian Planning Bureau for an international design competition. In the competition, 10 is pleased to be able to compete with some of the world’s most high profile architects including Zaha Hadid Architects, Kengo Kuma and Associates, Hopkins Architects and AC Architects .” Givens says, “Although the decision on the commission of this project is yet to be announced, we are proud that the design has already gained recognition from a professional body, the AIA.”

The library is intended to be a transformative environment that pulls visitors into a unique landscape. The building weaves into the ground creating a series of courtyards and topographic undulations- rooting itself, and then sweeping up into the air forming a bold urban landmark. The shifting of the mass creates spaces ranging from the intimate spaces for reflection in the courtyard to the dynamic and expansive views offered from the tower volume. The tower volume has a series of internal voids and terraced spaces to further enhance the variety of spatial conditions and to provide internal connectivity. A series of retail functions including cafes will help draw a larger audience to the library. A large media center that shares the central drop-off can be used after hours and function independently.

The mass responds and is shaped by views into the site and outward to the surrounding sea and mountains. A green hill over the media center forms an outdoor gathering space and amphitheater and will offer water views to the southern sea. A roof top café on the tower volume provides panoramic views of the mountains and sea.

The façade of the library is a dark grey brass that will develop a beautiful patina over time. The metal skin will have a natural resistance to the marine conditions and harsh weather. The smaller voids in the buildings mass will use an anodized aluminum brass alloy to remain vibrant and colorful as the rest of the building transforms with time.

这是10Design提交的大连图书馆国际竞赛方案。AIA评审委员会认为：“设计动感，中央的漩涡空间是一个创造有趣社会空间的区域，建筑与城市联系紧密，图书馆的向心力使得其成为一个社区的邻里中心。”

10Design的Ted和他的团队很高兴参加这个竞赛，他们荣幸自己能够于Zaha Hadid, Kengo Kuma, Hopkins 以及 AC 等知名建筑师同台竞争，虽然现在竞赛结果还没公布，但是专业评审会AIA的高度评价让他们非 常自豪。

图书馆姿态不凡，形成独特风景，创建了一系列起伏的院落景观，建筑形体从地面盘旋而起，探向苍穹， 形成一个具有魄力的城市标志性建筑。建筑室内外动静结合，视野良好，内部梯段式布局让空间联系紧 密。建筑带有的零售功能会吸引更多人们到此。这里还有大型媒体中心，可以供观众独立使用。

人们进入场地之中也能看见周围的群山和大海。媒体中心有一个绿色的山丘，这里是户外聚会一句露天剧 场区域，同时在这能看见海。屋顶的豪华咖啡厅能够一览无余群山和大海的胜景。

建筑外表皮是深灰的铜，随着时间的流逝，会产生美丽的铜锈。采用金属外表皮是为了对抗海洋气候的腐蚀。局部采用阳极氧化的合金铜，让建筑外表皮富有区别与层次。
