如果以「延伸而上的知識 spiral of knowledge」來形容一間圖書館應是有趣的，而這也是建築事務所ADEPT在設計達拉娜大學多媒體圖書館（Dalarna Media
Library）時的理念。這間位於瑞典達拉娜大學裡，占地約3,000平方公尺的多媒體圖書館，重新詮釋了圖書館的多功能設計，並且自然地整合了周遭的景觀，讓圖書館與其周邊空間一同成為了學生、教職員與訪客們最佳的活動場所。
對事務所而言，「延伸而上的知識」的概念是一種新的圖書館文化，能包含更寬廣的經驗與激發靈感。不但是圖書館內部有著盤旋而上的設計，連周遭的地勢也順勢配合形成盤旋斜坡，共同圍繞著圖書館的中央天井處，而天井處也正是圖書館整體設計的中心，一處找尋知識的來源，同時也是一處學生能享受寧靜閱讀的空間。樓層與活動的多樣性創造出豐富體驗的圖書館空間，而圖書館獨特的空間特色也成功地保留著圖書館原有功能與創造出多媒體的綜效。
圖書館有著獨特的雙層外立面，外層為疊層拋光水平金屬薄板，內層則為以西伯利亞落葉松木覆蓋的牆面。拋光水平金屬薄板可斷斷續續地反射出四周環境與行人影像，如此的構想也能使得建築與周遭環境看起來更加地融合為一體。同時為了讓圖書館更親民，事務所特地將四周的大型停車場重新規劃整合為一處開放式大廣場，創造出更佳的活動休閒廣場。在如此設計下，這座新的多媒體圖書館不但吸引了更多的使用者及遊客，也成為了達拉娜大學一處新的入口；當然，圖書館的成立也更活絡了當地社區的活動與市民及商業活動。
ADEPT事務所也對這座達拉娜大學多媒體圖書館做了如此的評論：「圖書館真的成為了我們希望中的學習與聚會場所，學生們也很快地接受這處新圖書館並儘情地利用了其中的功能，不但團體教室經常被預定一空，圖書館也成為相當熱門的聚會地點，並可期待許多精采活動即將於此舉辦。」

ADEPT／Dalarna Media Library
The new library at Dalarna University, Dalarna Media Library, is now officially open to the public. The building that reinterprets the library in a multifunctional design is laid out as an
approximately 3.000 m2 ’spiral of knowledge’ that naturally integrates into the surrounding landscape at the Dalarna University Campus in Falun, Sweden.
Together with and international team ADEPT has designed the library and the surrounding urban spaces as a dynamic meeting place with activities for students, staff and visitors to the Dalarna
University.
Dalarna Media Library is organized as a ’spiral of knowledge’ identifying a new library culture that stages a wide spectre of experiences and inspiration. The natural terrain of the surrounding
landscape is continued as a ramp that spirals up through the central atrium of the library - its heart - where all search of information and orientation take place.
The spiral of knowledge creates a variated study environment allowing the students to move about in the heart space of the library or to withdraw to more quiet and tranquille areas along the
facade. The variation of sound levels and the differentiation of activities creates a versatile library that is rich in experiences. The building has its very own spatial character uniting library
and multimedia functions to create synergy with the existing university complex.
The characteristic double facade with reflecting horisontal lamellae fronting a wood cladding is developed in collaboration with Danish artist Jeppe Hein. Instead of creating an isolated piece of
art work Jeppe Hein and ADEPT has developed the competition design for the façade into a detailed and refined expression with an immateriality that mirrors its surroundings and the people in it
with broken reflections. The lamellae are made from highly polished stainless steel while their wooden background is a siberian larch.
The new library is the main attraction and new entrance arriving to the university. To emphasize this, the surrounding spaces are transformed from a large parking lot to an integrated urban plaza,
which handles the user and visitor flows at the same time as it optimizes the public spaces around the building into defined activity zones and intimite recreational areas. The library functions
are pushed out to the new plaza marking the new main entrance with life and activities. Dalarna Media Library will come to attract the community of Falun acting as a motivating generator for both
citizens and local businesses.
” The library has really become the study environment and the meeting place that we hoped for it to be. The students have taken it to their hearts instantly and uses group spaces and the rest of
the study options intensively. Often all the group rooms are fully booked. The Library has even become a very popular place to meet eachother – and already we will have a load of activities planned
to take place in the arena.”
