法赫德国王图书馆位于沙特首府利雅得市，是沙特阿拉伯王国最重要的文化建筑，也是由盖博教授带领的设计团队在沙特完成的最重要的文化与城市更新项目之一。
原国王图书馆建于1990年，是利雅得重要的标志性文化建筑；不但存有沙特文化智慧成果及文献档案，也是当地知名的展厅，一直以来代表着阿拉伯文化的传播与对外合作。随社会发展，原图书馆已不能满足需求，项目的更新扩建提上日程。
盖博教授获邀参加设计竞赛，在充分考虑了原建筑风貌及其在城市历史中的特殊意义后，以 “新老建筑相结合” 这一截然不同的思路深深地打动了业主，一举中标，获得项目的全专业设计合同。
The King Fahad National Library is one of the most important cultural buildings in the capital city, Riyadh. This project sees Professor Gerber and his team accomplishing one of the most important urban redevelopment and cultural projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The original library was built in the early 90s, it is one of the most symbolic cultural identity of Riyadh; not only does it preserve the essence of Arabic cultural and houses heritage literature, it is also a well-known exhibition venue, a beacon in representing coorpoeration between Arab and foreign culture. Time flies, the original library no longer meets modern day requirements, our cilent was seeking a solution worldwide to regenerate the precinct.
After thorough investigation of the original building and its significance, Gerber Architekten proposed the idea of “combining the old and new”. This concept stood out in the international competition, Gerber Architekten was then appointed for full scope of services.
盖博团队在设计中采用了一个标志性的立方体形态全方位的包裹原有图书馆，一方面尊重并保留了历史建筑，另一方面又通过新建部分重塑了城市空间。原图书馆的穹顶在改造后成为标志性的玻璃穹顶，半透明的膜状结构表面为室内带来柔和充足的阳光，打造宁静而私密的内部体验氛围。
建筑与景观需要在繁杂多变的城市环境中呼应结合；盖博团队在完成建筑设计的同时对现状公园进行了改造和设计，保留景观绿地并全面优化广场。使项目成为一个和谐发展的整体，为市民带来富有活力的城市空间。
The design consisted of a symbolic cuboid, enveloping the existing building on all sides. The original library is preserved as a building within a building, not only does the new structure redefine the surrounding urban spaces, it also dialogues with the old in an unusual way. The original dome – a cultural symbol of the library has now been reconstructed with steel and glass; intricate textile façade and skylights gently filters and distribute light throughout the entire building.
Great Architecture always integrated itself into a complex urban palette. Gerber Architekten also took on the role of redesigning the existing park, preserving green space and tying the building with its environment harmoniously as a whole, transforming the area into a lively new urban quarter.
高温、太阳直射等，都是沙漠气候对建筑能耗极大的挑战。该项目运用的分层通风、地面供冷系统、外遮阳隔热等科技，实现了节能与可持续发展的目标。
国王图书馆的立面设计是一大亮点。菱形遮阳元素交错包裹玻璃幕墙，若隐若现。膜状结构映射了阿拉伯传统文化中的帐篷形态，在满足艺术造型的同时也兼顾了功能需求。这一独特的遮阳系统因当地气候做了进一步的优化，采用玻璃纤维编织并覆盖特殊涂层的材料更确保了隔热，使得太阳光穿透率仅有7%。
Buildings under the desert climate face great challenges such as high temperature and direct sun exposure. Technologies such as layered ventilation, floor cooling, and external sun-shading all have enabled this project to achieve the goals of energy conservation and sustainability.
The facade design of the Library is a highlight. Rhomboid textile membranes interlace the entire curtainwall, revealing and concealing the building directly responding to local sun angle. The filigree steel cable structure not only interpret traditional Arabic tent form in a modern way, but also satisfies the building’s functional requirement of sun-shading, reducing solar penetration to only 7%.
“可持续发展的主题中最关键的要点是将最新的能源概念及合理的建筑结构这一议题存在于我们所有的行为与做法中。”
——埃克哈德 • 盖博教授”
“The theme of sustainability using up-to-date energy concepts and rational building structures runs through all our activities as a crucial idea that is taken for granted.” ——Prof. Eckhard Gerber
优秀的设计和高质量的细节深化与驻场施工配合，使新国王图书馆得到了各界的一致赞美，并荣获众多国际奖项。2017年，盖博教授应邀陪同德国总理默克尔出访沙特时（下图）受到沙特国王接见。
Excellent design and site coordination has won the New King Fahad National Library unanimous praise and many international awards. In 2017， Professor Gerber was invited to accompany Chancellor Merkel on their visit to Saudi Arabia and was received by the King.
新老建筑的组合、传统与现代文化的碰撞，在法赫德国王图书馆上表现得淋漓尽致。阿拉伯文化元素的映射、及创新思维的挑战也使得这个项目焕发全新的生命。这个承接了市民与城市文化记忆的老建筑在完美融合新建体量后，以全新的姿态呈现在利雅得市中心，成为享有国际美誉的城市新地标。
The combination of new and old; the collision of tradition and modern culture, the Arab cultural semiotics, and the challenge of innovative thinking had given this buiding a new life. The National Library that had inherited so much cultural memory is represented in central Riyadh under a new setting, becoming the icon of a prestigious urban quarter.
