Appreciations towards Architectual Design and Research Institute of Tsinghua University for providing the following description:

首都正北方向平原与浅山区的结合处，周边森林茂盛，幽静典雅，景色优美，人称“京北世外桃源”，中国国家版本馆中央总馆就坐落于此地。很难想象，这里曾是一处废弃的采石场。

In the due north of Beijing, where the plain and the low-mountain area meet, lies a tranquil, picturesque land surrounded by luxuriant forests. Known as a “peaceful wonderland in northern Beijing,” it is where the China National Archives of Publications and Culture is located. The site, unbelievably, used to be an abandoned quarry.

2019年4月，清华大学建筑设计研究院有限公司接到中宣部关于中国国家版本馆的设计邀请，由庄惟敏院士领衔设计团队参加方案比选。经过与国内顶尖设计机构、院校的三轮角逐，最终赢得国家版本馆的设计任务。秉承着新时代发展理念，庄院士带领团队对废弃的采石场进行生态修复，重塑场地山水形胜，并将富有人文气息的建筑群融入其中。如今，总建筑面积为99500㎡的中国国家版本馆巍然屹立于燕山脚下。

In April 2019, THAD received a design invitation for the China National Archives of Publications and Culture from the Publicity Department of CPC Central Committee. A team led by Zhuang Weimin, a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering, submitted a design proposal for the project. After three rounds of competitions with top design institutions and universities in China, THAD won out. Following the development philosophy for the new era, Zhuang and his team carried out ecological rehabilitation on the abandoned quarry, restored the landscape of the site, and created an architectural complex that carries cultural features and integrates into the surroundings. After completion, the China National Archives of Publications and Culture, which has a gross floor area of 99,500 square meters, erects majestically at the foot of the Yan Mountains.

藏之名山 传之后世
Deep Inside Mountains, The Legacy Passed Down To Future Generations

中国国家版本馆三面环山，总用地面积16.84公顷，其中建设用地9.69公顷，防护绿地7.15公顷。以中国传统建筑文化和藏书文化为主线，聚焦中华文化种子基因“藏之名山、传之后世”的主旨，力求充分把握山水、古今、自然与人文的融合，将万年百世之事的典藏之地融入到中国传统理想栖居的山水环境中，实现文化性、传承性、时代性与实用性的有机统一。

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the China National Archives of Publications and Culture occupies a total plot area of 16.84 hectares, including a construction land area of 9.69 hectares and green buffer zones of 7.15 hectares. The project takes traditional Chinese architectural culture and the culture of book collecting as the design thread, with a focus on the theme of “Deep Inside Mountains, the Legacy Passed Down to Future Generations,” which highlights the inheritance of Chinese cultural genes. The design seeks for the integration of mountain and water, past and present, nature and humanities. It blends the venue, where classics that record the histories over thousands of years are collected, with a favorable landscape environment to create a functional cultural destination that fuses heritage with contemporaneity.

中华生态自然观的大格局——山水交融
Follow the Chinese philosophy about nature, and blend architecture with natural landscape

规划设计充分尊重自然生态，因地制宜因势利导，结合选址废弃的采石场，在建造的同时修复生态环境。西侧和北侧因采石形成的崖壁宕口依山形进行修复，通过锚杆、主动防护网等方式消除安全隐患；再通过喷播及攀爬植物实现自然复绿；同时增加栈道、古亭、观景台等富有文化特性的元素，营造人文与自然融合的山地景观。结合地势在东西两侧设置排洪渠，对雨季汇水进行疏导，同时引水入园，营造季节性的景观水系。两条溪流顺势而下，在南侧开阔地汇水成池，形成山环水抱之势。建筑布局依山就势，严格控制地上规模和体量，院落式的建筑掩映在山水园林环境之中，凸显山水交融、露隐相间、馆园结合的特色。通过国家版本馆的建设对废弃的采石场进行生态修复，变废为宝，实现人文与自然的双重效益，践行新时代发展理念。

The master planning fully respects the natural ecology of the site and adapts to its terrain. As the project is located at an abandoned quarry, ecological restoration was carried out in tandem with the construction process. A long, narrow quarry cave stretching along the cliffs in the west and north is restored according to the mountain terrain, to prevent security hazards through measures such as rock bolts and rockfall netting. In addition, hydroseeding and vines are adopted to restore greenery. Structures with cultural features, including walking trail, pavilion and observation deck, are added to create a mountain landscape that blends culture with nature. In line with the site’s terrain, flood control channels are set on the east and west sides, to drain water during the rainy season and also divert water into the gardens to create a seasonal water landscape system. The two streams flow down and merge into a pond at an open area on the south, forming a mountain and water landscape that surrounds the buildings. The architectural layout adapts to the site’s mountain terrain and existing conditions, and strictly controls the building scale and volume above the ground. The courtyard-style buildings blend into gardens, which highlights the integration of architecture and landscape. As part of the National Archives project, ecological restoration is conducted to revitalize the abandoned quarry, to create both cultural and ecological value and accord with the development philosophy of the new era.

文化自信大国的大格局——中国特色
Showcase cultural confidence, and present Chinese characteristics

中央总馆作为展现国家形象和传承国家记忆的文化殿堂，同时也是国际文化交流的重要场所，代表着国家精神、国家文化和国家形象，需要体现文化性和仪式感，展现国之大气和国家风范。因此采用中国传统的院落式布局，沿轴线依山就势，分级布置主体建筑，体现坐北朝南、中轴对称、礼乐交融的特点，彰显中国特色和大国气象。注重中国传统建筑文化中的层次美学，建筑主体为三进院落，分别承载交流、展览、典藏研究功能，呈现从公共向私密的渐变，形成富有层次的空间序列。采用中国园林中经典的借景手法，通过东西两侧建筑体量的控制，将山景引入建筑空间中，步移景异，富于变化。

As a cultural palace that represents national image and carries national memories, the China National Archives of Publications and Culture is also an important venue for international cultural exchanges that communicates the spirit, culture and image of China. It needs to embody a sense of culture and ceremony, and demonstrate majesty and grandeur. Therefore, the design refers to the layout of traditional courtyard houses, with the main buildings set along a main axis that follows the terrain. It highlights a south-north orientation, a symmetrical pattern and the idea of harmony in traditional Chinese culture, to embody Chinese characteristics and majesty. The design also underlines the hierarchical aesthetics of traditional Chinese architecture. The three courtyard-style buildings, which respectively serve for cultural exchanges, exhibitions, and archives collection and research, create a gradual transition from openness to privacy, and produce a spatial sequence with a rich sense of layering. Borrowed scenery, a classical technique in traditional Chinese garden design, is adopted in tandem with control on the volumes of the buildings on the east and west, to incorporate the mountain view into the venue. This also brings varying visual experiences to visitors when moving from one place to another.

面向未来的与时俱进——时代精神
March into the future, and seize the spirit of the times

强调开放性和人性化。遵循中华文化天人合一的理念精髓，不追求纪念碑式的庞大建筑体量及空间尺度。低矮错落的建筑群掩映在园林绿化中，与周边山体环境融为一体，亲和的室内外空间与展示内容相得益彰，增强游人置身于其中的体验感，彰显绿色、亲民的新时代精神。同时舍弃了常见的柱廊，采用较大面积的玻璃及金属装饰，以现代的材料和手法突出建筑的开放性与时代性。建筑外观承袭国家级文化建筑的基因，采用经典的三段式结构：暗红色石材勒脚，黄锈石墙面，深灰色瓦屋面，檐口、雨棚等重点部位采用不锈钢仿铜装饰，充分传承方正典雅、质朴大气的文化建筑精髓，随着时代的演进，经典在人们的脑海中形成历久弥新的共鸣。

The design emphasizes openness and people-centered principle. Instead of creating a monument-style large architectural volume or spatial scale, it follows the Chinese philosophy of seeking harmony between nature and humanity. A cluster of low-rising buildings interact with the traditional-style gardens, and blend in with the surrounding mountains. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces, imbued with a sense of affinity, complement with the exhibits on display and strengthen an immersive experience, which manifests the spirit of the new era that advocates green development and friendliness to people. A large area of glass and metal decorations are adopted instead of common colonnades. The design highlights the openness and modernity of the buildings through modern materials and techniques, while also carrying on the uprightness, elegance, simplicity and majesty of traditional cultural architecture. The architectural form inherits the genes of other national-level cultural facilities in China. It adopts a classic facade composition consisting of three sections, including crimson stone skirting, light yellow granite wall and dark grey tile roof, and applies bronze-like stainless steel decorations to essential parts such as cornice and awning. It fully inherits the uprightness, elegance, simplicity and magnificence of Chinese cultural architecture, and will keep impressing people despite the passage of time.

文兴楼是国家版本馆的门厅，也是系列展览的序厅。正面主题壁画《山河揽胜》，取义三山五岳及昆仑山脉，以祖国的壮美河山彰显中华文明的博大精深、源远流长。文兴楼布置三个专题展览：首层为“版本工艺展”，展示版本的制作和演变过程；二层为“中国邮票展”和“中国钱币展”，体现版本的多样性。

Wenxing Building is the entrance hall of the National Archives of Publications and Culture, and the preface hall of a series of exhibitions. The striking themed mural is based on the famous mountains in China, which conveys the profoundness and long history of Chinese civilization through the magnificent mountain landscape. Wenxing Building accommodates three special exhibitions: Exhibition of Crafts on the first floor, which shows the production and evolution of varied crafts; Exhibition of Chinese Stamps and Exhibition of Chinese Currencies on the second floor, which reflects the variety of archives.

文华堂是国家版本馆的主展馆，两个基本陈列“斯文在兹——中华古代文明版本展”和“见证伟业——中华民族复兴版本展”分别位于二层和一层。文华堂中央为国家书房，高13米，面积达1350平方米。四周布置十五组通高书柜，收藏展示三万余册古今典籍图书。同时点缀文字、篆刻等文化元素，营造书卷气息浓厚的版本殿堂，也是举办国际文化交流活动的礼仪空间。中央八角形藻井内形成圆形星空穹顶，漫天星宿点缀其中，图案取自宋代碑刻天文图，呼应“文瀚阁”之名象征中华文化如浩瀚星空的寓意。

Wenhua Hall is the main exhibition venue of the National Archives of Publications and Culture. The two major exhibitions, Inception of Chinese Civilization – Exhibition of Ancient Chinese Publications & Cultural Articles and Witness to the Great Cause – Exhibition of Chinese Nation Rejuvenation Archives, are set on the second floor and the first floor respectively. At the center of Wenhua Hall is the National Study, which is 13 meters high and covers an area of 1,350 square meters. Fifteen sets of full-height bookcases are arranged around, which collect and exhibit more than 30,000 classic books in ancient and modern times. Meanwhile, it is decorated with cultural elements such as characters and seal cutting, creating a palace of books filled with a strong cultural atmosphere and a space for holding international cultural exchange activities. A circular starry dome is formed on the central octagonal caisson ceiling, with constellations dotted in it. Its pattern is derived from the stone-carved Astronomical Chart in the Song Dynasty, which echoes the meaning of the Chinese name of Wenhan Pavilion and symbolizes the diversity of Chinese culture like the vast starry sky.

文瀚阁一二三层布置主题展览“真理之光——马克思主义中国化时代化经典版本展”。中央为文瀚厅，三层通高，为中国传统的八角形空间，每层四周向心布置书柜，层层收分，营造出一个极具中华文化韵味的藏书空间。集中陈列珍贵古籍出版物，包括《四库全书》《永乐大典》《古今图书集成》等原大仿真影印本，精选古籍影印本和原雕版印刷本，展现藏书阁经典荟萃的独特场景。顶部为八角柿蒂纹藻井，展现浩瀚银河的壮美景象，寓意中华文明博大精深。

From the first to the third floor of Wenhan Pavilion, the themed exhibition The Light of Truth – Classic Archives Exhibition of Marxism Localization and Modernization in China is set up. Wenhan Hall in the center is a triple-height space and features a traditional octagonal shape. Each floor is surrounded by bookcases, which gradually compresses the space from the bottom up, forming a book storage space with a strong cultural atmosphere. The original-size photocopies of Siku Quanshu, Yongle Encyclopedia and Gujin Tushu Jicheng, along with the photocopies and wood-block print copies of selected ancient books, produce the unique scene of a library pavilion filled with the collections of classics. At the top is the octagonal caisson ceiling that draws on the pattern of the flower stem of persimmon fruits. It presents the magnificent scene of the vast galaxy, to imply the profoundness of Chinese civilization.
