About Discussions Projects7 Journals5 Publications2

Reading space encompasses the physical environments where people engage with texts, ideas, and knowledge. Designers in this area consider how architecture, light, materiality, and spatial organization can foster concentration, comfort, and discovery for readers.

The community explores adaptive reuse of existing structures into reading environments, the creation of public pavilions and galleries that encourage stillness and reflection, and innovative approaches to how reading spaces function within contemporary urban contexts.

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.

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.

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.

THINK CLOUD

The 'Think Cloud Library' serves as an instant think cloud that accepts, stores, and shares people's thoughts. Various bookshelves suitable for each program float in a square frame, creating a light landscape.

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.
