curious library

The site located in the old city of Jinan. The surrounding urban area has already be developed in 2017. The east of the city is the HeBin park, The scenery here is beautiful and the environment is superb. This program is special and different from the traditional library. The use of the space need the readers to discover by themselves.

When it comes to books, libraries come naturally to mind.Large and medium-sized cities in China have their own libraries, most of which exude the sacredness of knowledge and the supremacy of authority.There is a kind of general pride behind them, imposing bullying people. In front of such a giant architecture, as ordinary people and ordinary readers, we also seem too small.These buildings are too formal, too serious for the personal, murmuring pleasure of reading, and the breathable, secure environment that bookworms crave is not available in a regular library.By chance, I walked into the classical gardens in the south, the private Spaces of ancient scholars.By speculating on the pleasure of sitting and walking in a garden, we enter into another kind of imagination.I began to conceive of a new reading environment.There, the feelings of a person in the midst of it are what I care about most, not the so-called knowledge and authority.I began to have a different library in mind.

the prospects of the future library

I hope the library will be spacious and clean, and integrate with nature.

I hope I can find a comfortable corner in the future library, so that I can get into the world of books.

In my spare time, I hope to have a library, which is full of books and shelves.

Hopefully, there will be beams of light in the library, filling the whole space with a pleasant smell mixed with memory and imagination.

Each library points to a different domain, a new vision.Those books all have different stories the need of the resident around site

Urban

The urban area is undeveloped, demand of public facilities is little.

Development And Changes In Demand

The development of the urbanization lead to the lack of libraries and cultural exhibitions.

The government increase more public facilities. Gradually meet the needs of business and culture, more and more Public buildings appeared. They are all normal. Normal public buildings cant not meet the need of rapid increase in population. government increase more public facilities. Integrated communication spaces are needed.

With the urbanization development, the residents hope a more comfortable, cozy place to experience the excitement and joy of reading.

The gallary under the slope provides a flat and open space, an extension of the public realm.

The phototype of the gallary is a historical reference of the plaza before 1995, allowing spontaneous social life and club activities in campus.

The steps of trapezoids forms a grandstand towards the mountion, a naturel expressions of publilicity. The curves of the steps generates a gathering and focusing tendance of audience.

Variation of the bookshelf

The different Angle of trapezoids, can form different spaces with different feeling. Some spaces are open,some spaces are close.

With every step I took on the stairs, new horizons opened up to me.

The balance between nature and architecture can be achieved through complementation, as if architecture and nature have some tacit understanding a spiral staircase that took me to different floors and high bookshelves as far as the eye could see

One side is a quiet, conventional functional area, while the other may face vivid nature.The corridor separates and connects the them.

Walking through a long, narrow corridor, I couldn't tell myself where it was, and the distinction between inside and outside became very blurred.

At the same space, you can see different scenery, feel different atmosphere, taste a variety of stories

It's not just the layers on the ground that are explored in the library. It's a new experience to go to different heights in the same space, with light diffusing down the steps in an unusual way

The students sat in the sunken reading area and quietly do their business

Multiple view frames are nested with each other to form a profound space with layers

It was huge, exactly the kind of library I wanted.The scene is real, but it seems to take place in the story.

Long narrow paths and different sizes of doorways lead people to curious places. There is a hole in the wall, and the hole covers the hole in the back, which seems to embed one world into another, and layers of depth of field are like a story's mystery.

As I looked around at the people reading or chatting, I was reminded of my school ‘s QingRenpo.

Only a corner was visible, but there was something larger hidden, and it was tempting to wonder: what was behind it?

Some people would climb to the top of bookshelf Hill to watch what was going on.

The combination of corridors and platforms also creates a place for pause, rest and conversation

Maybe it's as simple as a place to collect books and a corner to read
