中国国家科学图书馆创作中，在功能性与前瞻性并重、传统文化与现代技术相融的基础上，传承科学院的场所精神，强调高科技文化品质，体现开放的图书馆的公众性，表现国家级图书馆的庄严和气势。

建筑整体围绕着一个向西南开放的内院展开，内院的逻辑源于对传统四合院背后意义的新解释，它带给建筑能量：阳光、空气、景观，这便是方案所追求的新模式：集中式的便捷，分散式的环境优雅，被融汇在一个理性的平面中，从而确保阅览空间的采光通风。

进入图书馆的序列被有意设计成阅览建筑的过程，在此复辟了中国传统空间的叙述性，使“走建筑”、“读建筑”成为可能，一系列重要事件的连续发生犹如传统空间序列，其中内院正对的庙宇已成为知识的殿堂，而这一过程并没有神的意味，更多的是开放的图书馆显示的文化品质。

The design for the National Science Library of China inherits the sense of place from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, emphasizing high-tech cultural quality, reflecting the public characteristics of an open library, and showing the nobility and momentum of the state level library on the basis of paying equal attention to function and perspective, as well as a harmonious combination of traditional culture and modern technology.

The whole building surrounds an inner courtyard from south to west, giving a new interpretation of the traditional siheyuan (a courtyard dwelling). It brings energy to the building, such has sunshine, air and landscape, forming a new design that attempts to pursue convenience in a centralized way, and a graceful environment in a discreet way. All these are incorporated in a rational plane to ensure sufficient lighting and ventilation to the reading space.

The sequence of entering the library is intentionally designed to be a process of viewing the building’s architecture, where it restores the narration of Chinese traditional space and makes it possible to “read the building when going through it.” A series of important events seems to be the traditional space sequence, of which the temple against the inner courtyard to the right becomes a place of learning. However, such a process does not contain any religious meaning; instead, it presents the more cultural qualities of the library as an open and public venue.
