An Approach To The Design Of The Newly Built University Libraries In China

In the university, the library, as "documentary information center" and "scholarly organization", is an important component of education and scientific research. Many countries classify library , facility and experimental equipments as three props of modern universities. In America, <> (1979) puts forward the standpoint--"The library is the heart of the college",which is accepted by every country of the world. So the library play an important role in the university.At present, the university library is in the developing and reforming period. In this stage, The conception of the library is changing from traditional library to modern library. This paper carefully analyzes the newly built library from the space arrangement of the building, trying to explore an architectural design way which suits our country.This paper has five diapers. The first chapter puts forward the backgrounds and the origin of the thesis, expounds the purpose, the meaning, the object, the extent and our country's present conditions. The second chapter mainly narrates the general situation of the development and the producement of the library in our country and other countries. The third chapter analyzes the features and the influtential factors of the nowaday university library in China. The fourth chapter is the important chapter of this paper: firstly, this chapter analyzes the total arrangement of the buildings, the single building's distribution , the extensibility of the building's functions and the design model of" trinity " , we find out that flexibility is the core of the university library design, " trinity" is not the only way and the best way in the library design; secondly, this diaper raises another design model--the design of hybrid library, in which the array of pillars, the level height and the load aredesigned according to the subarea, this design method can improve the flexibility and ecnomization ofthe buildings; at last, this chapter approaches the principles and the developing trend in the design ofthe university library. The fifth chapter apply the design model of hybrid library in the library of Xi'anSiYuan University, tying to improve the design level of the library.
