不仅仅是图书馆-浴室花园
Not Just Library – Bathhouse Garden
“It is not just a library but a garden as well.” Have a private talk with a garden.
Located in the north of the tobacco factory, “Not Just a Library” is set in a renovated women’s bathhouse. As you look through the semicircular window, a sunken garden stands ahead of you.
自1998年该工厂停止生产香烟以来，花园的大片区域已被志愿种植的椰子树占据。像混凝土一样坚硬，它们的根与不同时代的地下结构交织在一起。我们希望用一种不同的方法与过去的空间纹理建立联系，带来一种新的感官体验——与时间和空间的密切接触。
Since the factory ceased to produce cigarettes in 1998, a large area of the garden has become dominated by volunteer coconut trees. As hard as concrete, their roots are intertwined with underground structures from different eras. We hope to employ a different method to build a connection with past textures of space and bring a new sensory experience — a close contact with time and space.
The inner space of the garden has a private and tranquil atmosphere. The texture of time is imprinted on the surrounding walls, letting go of superfluous expressions, and anti avant garde materials that urge people to consciously let go of superfluous things.
枝叶向上伸展，高达四米，中间透出淡淡的光，阳光在树梢半透明的绿叶间闪耀。混合植物与历史墙并列并融合在一起。在砾石的灰烬上设置了不同层次的绿色植物。在这个简单和谐的空间里，光、影、形都展现出优雅的气质。
The branches and leaves spreading upward, up to four meters high, spreading out a touch of light in between, and the sun shone and shone among the translucent green leaves of the treetop. The mixed plants are juxtaposed and blended with the historical wall. Different levels of greenery are set against the ash of the gravel. In this simple and harmonious space, light, shadow and form all show graceful temperament.
简单朴素的家具为游客提供了一个舒适的停留时间。在花园里享受缓慢的生活节奏，就像在浴室里一样。沐浴在空气中会带来完全不同的阅读体验。夜晚，当落地灯照亮树木和花朵时，花园似乎沉浸在一个神秘而寂静的世界中，静静地揭示着历史。
Simple and plain furniture provides a cozy place for visitors to stay for a while. Enjoying the slow pace of life in the garden is how the pace in the bathhouse used to be. Bathing in the atmosphere brings a totally different reading experience. At night, when the trees and flowers are illuminated by floor lamps, the garden seems to be immersed in a mysterious and silent world, quietly revealing the history.
It is with hope that words are seen as mist and knowledge is seen as water, to represent the spirit of bathing: thoughts, considerations and self-growth of gratitude to be transformed into the cultural heritage and radiate outward.
