third semester/ 2012
designing a library...
Branitzer Park/Cottbus/Germany
the library from far, in an idyllic scene in the branitzer park.
concept diagram
we folded a stripe of paper on each interesting viewpoint in the park. then we created volumes over this areas which arose by folding the stripe. first on one level and then we moved them vertically on the value of each of the viewpoints.
library inspiration
Important for us was where we will place the books because on our developed plattforms is not so much space. we decided to create bookshelves along the stairs which are high until the ceiling.
Materials: for the stairs, plattform and bookshelves we chose a dark wood, inside and outside walls are out of concrete and the handrail should be glass.
