在MIT海登圖書館更新項目中，Kennedy & Violich Architecture將這棟1951年代的戰后現代藝術中心改造為一處動態、包容的協作與創新研究中心。方案以“科研的交叉口”為概念，標志著圖書館將成為一處促進交互模擬與數字分析的潛力空間。

The re-design of MIT’s Hayden Library transforms the 1951 modernist repository for post-WWII collections into a dynamic and inclusive learning space for collaboration and innovative research. The ‘Research Crossroads’ concept highlights the potential for new modes of thinking at the intersection of digital and analog collections and analysis.

庭院兩側，一棟木質和一棟玻璃制的雙層擴建空間相對而立，在原有閱覽室的基礎上增添了不同尺度與比例的體驗。

A pair of two-story pavilions—one glass and one wood—introduces a mediating scale into the undifferentiated volume of the original reading room.

空間的交叉處，新植入的雕塑樓梯與電梯在Z軸上打破了水平的樓板，在不同樓層間建立起豎向聯系。

Where the pavilions cross, a new sculptural stair and elevator establish a z-axis, breaking through an existing floor slab to provide direct vertical connection to all levels.

24小時開放的首層空間包含一個咖啡廳和一處木材與玻璃搭建的多功能空間，為數字合作室、私密學習區與數字工具實驗室提供了場地。透明的幕墻、數字屏、可移動家具與白板都旨在鼓勵學生們“侵入”圖書館，按照自己的需求配置空間。在現有結構基礎上重新設計的二層空間營造出休閑寧靜的氛圍，使人得以飽覽窗外河景與優美的天際線。

The 24-hour accessible ground floor includes a cafe and flexible event space as well as digital collaboration rooms, intimate study spaces and digital tools housed in the glass and wood volumes. Translucent curtains, digital screens, and movable furniture and white boards encourage students to ‘hack’ the library, reconfiguring spaces to fit their needs. The reimagined second floor builds on existing building strengths to create a restful, quiet space with privileged river and skyline views.

Lipchitz庭院的重新設計解決了長久以來的可達性差與曝曬問題，建立起一處充滿活力的中央綠色空間，使圖書館活動也能延伸至這片陰涼、尺度宜人的半室外空間中。庭院四周，茂密的自然植物、彎曲的木質長椅與精心布局的雕塑共同構成了庭院景觀。與庭院咖啡廳相連的新三季亭在院落兩側形成了開放可達的回廊。定制的鏤空木質天花板不僅有利于聲學效果，還在回廊上創造出連綿不斷的“連香樹蔭”。

The redesigned Lipchitz Courtyard—disused for decades due to inaccessibility and exposure — establishes a dynamic central green space and extends library activity out into a shaded and intimately scaled indoor/outdoor space, bounded by natural plantings, curving wood benches and carefully sited sculptures. A new three-season pavilion connects to the Courtyard Café and completes a fully accessible cloister around the courtyard. Custom-milled wood panels incorporate acoustic control and extend the courtyard’s katsura tree canopy patterns across the pavilion ceiling.
