THE CHANGING CONCEPT OF LIBRARY
ARCHITECTURAL THESIS
PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR THE CITY OF PUNE
THESIS
Pune is closely associated with literature, art, drama, culture and has several junior and professional colleges. In spite of all the growth and the education background, the city lack number of public libraries. Pune has the government district library and the Maharashtra state library but the condition and content of these libraries do not cater the needs of all the user groups. Libraries today, may need to house fewer physical materials, they need space for their members to generate their own materials and space for the community to come together and share ideas. Regeneration would allow public library to behave as community information, knowledge and resource and information center.
1
With a view to sustain continuous growth and development, evaluation of library though the user's point of view becomes an important factor.
2
The most clear and observant shift is that libraries are no longer describing their primary role as being a provider of information.
3
Libraries today, may need to house fewer physical materials, they need space for their members to generate their own materials and space for the community to come together and share ideas.
ADDRESSING THE DIRECTIONS
THE CHANGING CONCEPT OF LIBRARY
Traditional libraries have quickly redefined themselves as hybrid libraries which are a combination of a conventional library and new electronic network library. The rise of internet and digitalized content makes the policy makers librarians and public believe that the public library is losing its relevance. This conviction is reflected in a way a lot of libraries are transforming. The most clear and observant shift is that libraries are no longer describing their primary role as being a provider of information. The evolution of the role of library in society over the centuries from private resource to civic monuments to a functional building to living room of the city is today in flux.
THESIS
DESIGN CONCEPT
WHO IS THE USER? LOCAL POPULATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE WORKING IN AN IT OFFICE. NUCLEAR FAMILY WITH TWO CHILDREN.
LOCATION THE SITE IS LOCATED IN HINJEWADI, PUNE. HINJEWADI IS A LARGE IT PARK IN THE CITY. IT IS ON THE KATRAJ DEHU ROAD BYPASS ON THE WESTERN SIDE IN THE CITY OF PUNE. IT HOUSES MANY SOFTWARE COMPANIES AND HAS EMERGED AS A COMMERCIAL AREA IN THE CITY.
HOW IS THE USER? AGE GROUP OF 25 - 50. THEY ARE IN THE OFFICE FROM 9 A.M. TO 9 P.M. MOSTLY OUT OF THEIR HOUSE THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHAT DOES THE USER NEED? SINCE, AS THEY ARE OUT OF THEIR HOUSE FOR THE ENTIRE DAY, THEY NEED A PLACE FROM TO RELAX. BUT, AFTER HAVING A LONG, GOING TO A GYM OR A CENTRAL OPEN SPACE IS SOMETHING WHICH IS HIGHLY AVOIDED BY ANY ONE. HENCE, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AT THE UNIT LEVEL DESIGN WHICH WILL BE EASILY ACCESSED BY THE USER.
