English	Imagine a staircase that never ends, an infinite loop of risers and treads squeezed into a traditional timber house. To add to the mystery the staircase has no destination, it is the destination itself. The walls have been transformed into a matrix of bookshelves and windows overlooking a courtyard. This is no ordinary children library, Pingtan Book House is a place where kids read and play at the same time, a new paradigm of rural village library in China. What we seldom occurs in contemporary construction, is that the Book House was built entirely using a sole material, every element such as walls and stairs were built in timber.
Native	試想象，在一個傳統的木構房屋中嵌入了一個無止境的樓梯，一個由踏板組成的、無限延伸的環。為了增加神秘感，這個樓梯並沒有目的地，它就是目的地本身。書架和可以俯瞰庭院的窗戶組成的矩陣構成了建築的外墻。坪坦書屋不被定義為一個傳統的兒童圖書館，而是一個可以讓孩子們一邊讀書一邊玩耍的地方。這也是中國鄉村圖書館的新範式。 坪坦書屋，從建築結構到墻、樓梯、地板的每一個元素都完全由木材建造，我們在當代建築中很難再找到這樣的例子。唯一采用的外來材料是用於立面采光的陽光板。書屋也完全按照傳統侗族木構技藝建造。 這個項目的價值在於兩個主要的出發點。第一，與坪坦小學的孩子有直接的聯系。除了讓他們能在書屋里學習玩耍，我們希望他們能意識到在這個瞬息萬變的世界里，存在於他們文化當中的愛與希望是多麽重要。第二與建築學科有關。當代建築為了滿足開發商的需求，幾乎失去了它們的靈魂，尤其是像在香港這樣的大都市。我們希望坪坦書屋能讓人們意識到建築的社會性也同等重要，社會影響力並不一定跟巨額資金掛鉤，設計也不僅存在於高端項目之中，而建築本身就必定有它存在的意義。
