卡耐基图书馆的新生：MuseumLab

历史悠久的卡耐基图书馆在教育创新和获取方面的遗产被重新命名为MuseumLab。该图书馆于1890年开放，是美国最早的免费公共图书馆之一，然而在一次自然灾害中，闪电击中了图书馆的钟楼，并导致一块三吨重的花岗岩砸穿了屋顶，这座图书馆从此失修，并于2006年关闭。该学校于2018年翻新重建，MuseumLab现在为青少年提供实验艺术和技术课程，并为社区活动提供了新的场地。

A historic Carnegie library’s legacy of educational innovation and access is reinvented as the MuseumLab. Opening in 1890, the library was one of the first free US public libraries. It fell into disrepair after lightning struck the library’s clock tower and caused a three-ton piece of granite to crash through the roof, and closed in 2006. Renovated in 2018, it now offers experimental art and technology programs for youth, a Title 1 charter middle school, and space for community events.

年代悠久的内部空间被“剥离”，空间被打散重组，重新了引入日光，展示历史建筑的“遗骨”。由此产生的“美丽废墟”激发了人们的想象力和好奇心，因为它挑战了传统的历史建筑与教育环境。

Expedient interior alterations from the 1970s were stripped away to reconnect spaces, reintroduce daylight and reveal the bones of the historic architecture. The resulting “beautiful ruin” has sparked imagination and curiosity as it challenged the conventions for both preservation and educational settings.

通用通道、改善环境性能和稳定老化的围护结构也得到了解决。设计团队更换了窗户，并在屋顶和外墙增加了隔热材料，以提高环境响应能力。电梯的迁移和二楼采光井的围合实现了所需的无障碍性，统一了不同的空间，并增加了一个双倍高度的充满自然光线的聚会空间。

Universal access, improved environmental performance, and stabilization of a deteriorating envelope were also addressed. Windows were replaced and insulation added to roof and exterior walls to improve environmental responsiveness (LEED gold). Relocation of the elevator and enclosure of the 2nd floor light-well achieved needed accessibility, unified disparate spaces and added a double-height daylit gathering space.

由于建筑年久失修以及不停的改建，内部装饰遭到了破坏：柱头被切开，钢制臂架暴露在外，表面的灰泥也碎裂了。传统的修复方法对于市政局来说预算太高，而新出现的建筑考古学显然提供了一个展品，对于建筑来说，这本来就是一个关于事物是如何被组成的发现之旅。

Time, and the remodel, wreaked havoc on the interior ornament: column capitals were sliced, steel armatures exposed, and surface plaster crumbled away. Traditional restoration was not affordable and the emerging archeology of the building clearly offered as an exhibit, in and of itself, a discovery about how things are made.
