BookBench

The BookBench project presents an innovative bench equipped with an adjustable seat and backrest mechanism, doubling as a public urban bookshelf. When not in use, the bench remains neatly closed. To access a book, users can simply open the bench. For added comfort, the backrest can be unfolded, transforming it into a welcoming place to sit and read.

SURROUNDED BY PAPER

Paper inspired microlibrary with modular capsules, which give you freedom of choice when it comes to the design of the interior.

CAMERA LUCIDA

Camera Lucida is our vision of the compact library influenced by traditional photography. Camera bellows create the exterior form, combining seemingly incompatible - the spirit of analogue photography with brave, confident modernism. Ubiquitous black confusingly resembles the photographer's microworld that hides under the sheet of dark material.

Pause in a rushing city

The micro-library project has become our response to the constant movement noticeable in our everyday lives. Independently of the season or the day, we constantly accelerate our activities to keep up with other people. By the way, we forgot how important it is to rest, say "stop" and take care of yourself.

Cyber Library

Cyborg indicates the boundary between nature and machine is blurred, which continues to the blurring boundary between people. We redefine the library and create more possibilities. The new era is inclusive, and the library can also be a leisure and entertainment area, which is equivalent to a creative centre/gallery. This provides a feeling of All-in-One.

TReading

With the proliferation of social media, the traditional library is bound to reconstruct. We analog future library as a tree. Social behaviors along with social media correspond to the trunk and branches while reading as the canopy. The three parts have their own identity while they interact with each other. Social behaviors trigger new types of libraries.

Into the Books

"Into the Books" is a social hub imagining it to be a meeting point surrounded by a beautiful chaos of books, uncovered, accessible, connected and socially interactive where the goal is to put books as a focal point but in a dynamic approach to make it a timeless design incorporating both self-learning as well as peer learning.

BIND

This library is intentionally left blank. Carved directly into the site, the collection is built over time by the community via on-site, print-on-demand services. Books can range from self-published, amateur photography monographs to run-of-the-mill, bestseller pulp fiction.
