実績

We added a new U-shaped building to the north side of an existing library building, planning to renew it as a more active library, with circulating movement routes surrounding a courtyard. Planning to make a visible and easily comprehensible library, we added a new three-dimensional movement route, moving through three levels, in the center of the old library, and added an “index space” which commands a view of the whole interior. The exterior wall on the north side, which is softly curved, leads people smoothly from the front entrance to the central plaza. The wall is made of cedar boards and glass with a checkered pattern, so that people on the main street of the campus can catch glimpses of people studying inside. A circular plaza in front of the main entrance has a ring-shaped canopy, as a hub for people approaching from all directions, to make the campus better for leisurely circulation.
