The Key

A library, more than mere organized repositories of knowledge, is a space of exploration, driven by curiosity we bear. While ordinary media may carry information, they don't unveil the concealed truths themselves. It is the role of library, which serve as a 'key' to unlock and aid our quest for the veritas.

Solaris Library

This library is inspired by the book "Solaris" by Polish writer Stanisław Lem. Just like the concepts in the book, the library is a place where people can seek new knowledge, learn, and broaden their horizons. The theme of exploring the unknown and the pursuit of knowledge has been used as inspiration for the design of the library

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.

The origami pavilion

The main objective of the project was to emphasize lightness. The construction was inspired by Kengo Kuma and Japanese architecture. The idea was to have a light construction-wooden interior with a lot of space and a transparent exterior. The cover was made in origami technique which fits perfectly into the climate of the project.

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.
