Ligben Library
This proposal argues that a good library needs a great variety of spaces that accomodate different modes of learning: from interactive and multimedia space to silent study spaces, it is all important. The library of the new age does not shun any particular media, both books and electronic articles can be enjoyed.

toward a new class of libraries
The original design of the site is based on the centrality of the library, creating a dynamic space and shaping the main paths.

The designer's process of thinking and analysis is complete and great, but the expression of the library space itself cannot bring people a sense of surprise.
Libr-Art-tion
Our design concept aims to attract more random readers and reignite interest in libraries. We curate books based on their popularity, using big data analysis from the internet to place the hottest new books in more visible locations. This arrangement allows random readers to easily discover and read the most popular books.
SHARED KNOWLEDGE
This library is an amalgamation of modern technology and traditional learning methods. The focus is on the experience of users with every space being easily accessible. It features a central library core that hosts all functions related to study, research and storage of knowledge. The aim of this concept is to reinforce the idea of the library.
Great concept and work!! Good luck.
Indeed.
Interesting Approach!
Bookshelf (Multi-functional Library)
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
Very specific, not at all modular, found that words and project contradict each other. Lack of traditional drawing standards and references which make it hard to read.
Space for people
Nowadays we are busy, we can find information and communicate while at home. But the truth is ? we need something in between, we need to go out, to do hobbies, to search for inspiration, real life communication. I believe that public libraries should be a place where everybody can find something for themselves and spend their free time fun and useful.
Warsaw Contemporary Public Library
Reflection of the main features of the libraries from the past.It does not try to attract anyone by its form or beauty but it welcomes people with its design.Also,the natural light that the library tries to get in from every direction,the passage that the landscape tries to offer and the other functions are making this modest design work.
Mokotow District Library
The Mokotow District Library proves to be a place to connect people with zones and accessible information. I am proposing an experience where spaces are well thought out and intuitive, a simplistic design that speaks about the feeling and emotions of an area that can be understood on a universal scale.
Thank you so much Carl, your support means alot!

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.
one of the only projects to appreciate the wonderful aesthetic presence of the chromatic layout of shelves full of books.
"Community as creator, curator and consumer" Wonderful theoretical concept without the design behind it to push it as a very real alternative to the competitions´ aim. Would really like this project to keep on working the ideas set forth.
