COMPETITION AIM To create an iconic 21st century ‘public library’ in the city of Tokyo, Japan and debate its role in a ‘digital age’. A library building should aim to become more open, dynamic and permeable architecturally so that it could attract more and more people. The participants must aim to break down the rigidity of traditional library and create an informal learning environment for the end users. SITE PROGRAM: The site for the intervention is located at an edge of Kabukicho district and against the railways coming from Shinjuku station. The site faces the Yasukuni Dori promenade which runs adjacent to it providing easy access and visual access from multiple locations in the vicinity. SITE AREA:1064 sqm MAX BUILT AREA:10,000 sqm

Zen garden ▪ Zen gardens, also called Japanese rock gardens, appeal to people who like carefully controlled settings of raked sand or rocks and precisely clipped shrubs. ▪ Zen gardens emphasize the principles of naturalness (Shizen), simplicity (Kanso), and austerity (koko). ▪ In the sixth century, Zen Buddhist monks created the first Zen gardens to aid in meditation. ▪ Later, they began using the gardens to teach Zen principles and concepts.

CONSTRUCTION DETAIL ▪ Diagrid structural form of system is used. ▪ It has an good appearance and it is easily recognized. ▪ The using of these techniques is done because its configuration and efficiency. ▪ It reduces the number of the structural element required on the facade there for less obstruction to the outside view. ▪ Also it allows the significant flexibility with respect to floor plans. ▪ And also it provides the efficient solution to our structure for gaining the strength and stiffness, and also dynamic appearance. ▪ And these technique is mostly used in complex geometries and curved shapes.

EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE ▪ For an earthquake resistance we used ‘carbon fiber rods’ which are made by textile company Komatsu in japan. ▪ We used these as an supporting cables which is anchored the structure to the ground with the ‘carbon - fibre rods’ for earthquake protection. ▪ Carbon-fibre strands created, are made up of a thermoplastic carbon fibre composite called CABKOMA strand Rod that’s considered the lightest seismic reinforcement in the world. ▪ These material has the high tensile strength and flexibility that makes the rod as stronger as iron. ▪ The lightweight carbon fiber composites can also be found in the interior, which feature white draped fabrics that mimic the sculptural facade. ▪ During earthquake these rods stretch and pull the structure in opposite direction.
