Appreciations towards Snøhetta for providing the following description:

西奥多·罗斯福总统图书馆（TRPL）将于2026年7月4日——美国建国250周年纪念日——正式开放。项目由 Snøhetta 设计，旨在成为美洲最具再生性的文化建筑，同时也是全球最具雄心、以获得完整“生命建筑认证”（Living Building Certification）为目标的项目之一。该认证是目前世界上最严格的环境标准。

Opening on July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the United States, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library (TRPL) is designed by Snøhetta as the most regenerative cultural building in the Americas and one of the most ambitious projects pursuing the full Living Building certification, the world’s most rigorous environmental standard.

图书馆位于北达科他州梅多拉，占地93英亩，毗邻西奥多·罗斯福国家公园，总建筑面积约95,000平方英尺，预计每年接待超过20万名访客。Snøhetta 同时担任建筑设计、景观设计和室内设计事务所，以一体化的设计方法，将建筑、景观与叙事整合为一段连续而完整的体验。

Located in Medora, North Dakota on a 93-acre site adjacent to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the 95,000-square-foot Library is expected to welcome more than 200,000 visitors annually. Serving as Design Architect, Landscape Architect, and Interior Designer, Snøhetta developed a fully integrated approach that unifies architecture, landscape, and narrative into a single continuous experience.

图书馆即景观
The library is the landscape

在“图书馆即景观”这一原则的引导下，建筑从一座孤丘中生长而出，其可进入的覆土屋顶覆盖着面积达121,000平方英尺的鲜活草原。一条近一英里长的架空木栈道以不断变化的高度穿行于修复后的景观之中，在全景眺望与贴近地面的沉浸式体验之间交替展开。沿途设置有户外教室、静思空间，以及一处悬于地形上方的网状观景平台。无障碍栈道始终保持水平，有时高于起伏的地形，有时则沉入地势之下，从而将人们的注意力重新引向大地。TRPL 是美国第一座可通过徒步小径、山地自行车、骑马及汽车抵达的总统图书馆。

Guided by the principle “The Library is the Landscape,” the architecture rises from a butte, its accessible earthen roof spanning 121,000 square feet of living prairie. A nearly mile-long elevated boardwalk threads through the restored landscape at shifting elevations, alternating between panoramic overlooks and ground-level immersion, with outdoor classrooms, reflective spaces, and a suspended netted overlook above the terrain. The accessible boardwalk remains horizontal, at times rising above or dropping below the undulating terrain, drawing attention to the earth. TRPL is the first presidential library accessible by hiking trail, mountain bike, horseback, and car.

“西奥多·罗斯福深知，环境保护并不仅仅意味着保护土地，更意味着重新定义我们与世界的关系，以及我们对后代所承担的责任。他的自然保护理念源于一次对美国大地的深刻感知，而我们希望访客也能体验到同样的探索感。我们并不希望将一座建筑简单地放置于景观之中，而是试图让景观本身成为最主要的建筑行为。”Snøhetta 创始合伙人 Craig Dykers 表示。

“Theodore Roosevelt understood that conservation is not simply about protecting land, it is about defining our relationship to the world and our responsibility to future generations. His conservation ethic emerged from a profound encounter with the American landscape, and we wanted visitors to experience that same sense of discovery. Rather than placing a building within the landscape, we sought to make the landscape itself the primary act of architecture,” says Craig Dykers, Snøhetta Founding Partner.

“每一条路径、每一处视野以及每一项材料选择，都旨在加深人与场所之间的联系，使一次参观转化为一场与大地的相遇。因此，这座图书馆不再仅仅是历史资料的储存之所，也成为一份邀请，引导人们参与并思考管理责任、公民责任与敬畏之心——这些价值至今仍在定义着罗斯福留下的精神遗产。”Dykers 继续说道。

“Every path, every view, and every material decision is designed to deepen the connection between people and place, transforming a visit into an encounter with the earth. In doing so, the Library becomes more than a repository of history, it becomes an invitation to engage with the values of stewardship, civic responsibility, and wonder that continue to define Roosevelt’s legacy,” Dykers continues.

精心编排的通行路径
Choreographed passageways

在图书馆内部，经过精心编排的通道引导访客在光明与黑暗之间移动，呼应着罗斯福自身的人生历程。大面积窗户框取具有历史意义的景观，其中包括面向罗斯福历史遗址麋鹿角牧场的视野，以及他所留下的公共土地遗产；天窗则将自然光线引入展厅深处。建筑内部设有恒温恒湿展厅、一座可举办总统辩论的礼堂，以及支持数字馆藏和新兴可持续技术的完善基础设施。

Inside the Library, carefully choreographed passageways move visitors between light and dark, echoing Roosevelt’s own journey. Large windows frame historically significant landscapes including views toward Roosevelt’s historic Elkhorn Ranch and his legacy of public lands, while skylights draw natural daylight deep into the galleries. The building includes climate-controlled galleries, an auditorium capable of hosting presidential debates, and robust infrastructure supporting digital collections and emerging sustainable technologies.

“在你所在的地方，利用你所拥有的条件，做你力所能及的事情——在环境严峻的恶地地区建设，需要策略与因地制宜的智慧。项目提升并运用了本地材料，同时依靠北达科他州当地的经验与技术，以恶地本身的资源塑造出这座建筑与景观。”Snøhetta 项目总监 Matt McMahon 表示。

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are – building in the challenging Badlands locale requires strategy and resourcefulness. The project elevates local materials and relies upon North Dakota know-how to craft a building and landscape made from the Badlands,” says Snøhetta’s Project Director Matt McMahon.

夯土与本地材料
Rammed earth and local materials

项目的材料体系深深扎根于场地，包括重型木结构、回收再利用的区域木材、低碳混凝土，以及使用当地土壤建造的夯土墙。土壤中自然形成的层状纹理，呼应着周边地质地貌。当地加工制造商与全国性专业团队合作，共同完成创新的建筑构造、总统图书馆级别的项目规模，以及极具挑战性的建设工期。材料选择排除了“红色清单”中的有害化学物质，并采用便于拆卸的构造方式，同时接受材料随时间自然老化及被人们频繁触摸使用的过程。

The material palette is rooted in place: mass timber, reclaimed regional wood, low-carbon concrete, and rammed-earth walls constructed from locally sourced soil whose natural striations echo the surrounding geology. Local fabricators partnered with national experts to deliver novel assemblies, presidential scale, and ambitious timeline. Material selections eliminate harmful Red List chemicals and are detailed for disassembly, welcoming aging and hands-on use over time.

“景观并不是这个项目的背景，而是它最主要的老师。通过生态修复、开放进入与沉浸式体验，我们希望为访客创造机会，让他们亲身感受持续塑造Badlands地区的生态过程、季节变化与生命系统。我们的目标，是呈现一片鼓励探索与发现的景观，同时表明环境管理并不是一个固定不变的目标，而是一种持续进行的实践。当访客穿行于修复后的草原、邂逅本土物种，并观察土地管理的周期与节奏时，他们也成为不断演化的生态系统中的参与者。通过这种方式，景观成为一种可以与之互动、加以照料并从中学习的存在。”Snøhetta 合伙人兼景观设计专业负责人 Michelle Delk 表示。

“The landscape is not the setting for this project, it is its primary teacher. Through restoration, access, and immersion, we sought to create opportunities for visitors to experience the ecological processes, seasonal changes, and living systems that continue to shape the Badlands. Our goal was to frame a landscape that invites exploration and discovery while demonstrating that stewardship is not a fixed goal, but an ongoing practice. As visitors move through restored prairie, encounter native species, and witness the rhythms of land management, they become participants in an evolving ecosystem. In this way, the landscape becomes something to engage with, care
for, and learn from,” says Michelle Delk, Partner and Landscape Discipline Director, Snøhetta.

唯一一座获得生命建筑认证的总统图书馆
The only Living Certified presidential library

自然保护理念贯穿项目的每一项决策。除申请LEED和SITES体系的最高等级认证外，图书馆还以获得“生命建筑挑战”（Living Building Challenge）的完整生命建筑认证为目标，并以“四个零”为设计框架：零能耗、零用水、零排放和零废弃物，同时对整个93英亩的场地实施全面的生态修复。

Conservation drives every decision. The Library targets the Living Building Challenge’s full Living Certification alongside the highest levels of LEED and SITES, guided by a “Four Zeros” framework: zero energy, zero water, zero emissions, and zero waste, in addition to full ecological restoration across the 93-acre site.

“为了尊重恶地地区及罗斯福留下的遗产，我们追求一种与自然保持平衡的大胆姿态，以及超越百年尺度的长远愿景——正如他本人可能会做的那样。遵循罗斯福所倡导的‘诚实与效率’，我们创造了一座与土地协同运作、吸收地方智慧，并能够代代自我维持的图书馆。”Snøhetta 总监、可持续发展及建筑设计负责人 Aaron Dorf 表示。

“To honor the Badlands and Roosevelt’s legacy, we sought boldness in balance with nature, and a vision beyond 100 years—just as he would have. Following TR’s call for ‘honesty and efficiency,’ we created a library that works with the land, draws on local wisdom, and will sustain itself for generations to come,” says Aaron Dorf, Snøhetta Director and Sustainability and Building design Lead.

在获得认证后，TRPL 将成为唯一一座获得生命建筑认证的总统图书馆，同时也将成为全球规模最大、复杂程度最高的生命建筑认证文化机构。此外，在同等规模的项目中，它还将成为迄今在地理位置最偏远、人口密度最低的地区申请完整“生命建筑挑战”认证的项目。“本土植物项目”由 Resource Environmental Solutions 与北达科他州立大学共同开发，目前已在生态屋顶及修复后的场地中培育了超过200种本土植物，并与附近3,000英亩的国家草原形成生态连接。包括放牧、割草和受控燃烧在内的年度土地管理措施，也被纳入公共活动项目之中，邀请访客主动参与土地的生命过程。

Upon certification, TRPL will be the only Living Certified presidential library and will be the largest and most complex Living Certified cultural institution in the world. Further, it will be the most remote and least densely populated location ever to pursue Full LBC certification at this scale.The Native Plant Project, developed with Resource Environmental Solutions and North Dakota State University, has cultivated more than 200 native species across the living roof and restored site, connecting to 3,000 acres of National Grasslands nearby. Annual land management practices including grazing, haying, and controlled burns are integrated into public programming, inviting visitors to become active participants in the life of the land.
