The new library will be integrated in the existing public park that actually it is an unsafe place due to the deterioration of the entire district.
The building will be inviting but also well protected from the vandalisms or the robberies.However the library won’t be an isolated item in the middle of a residential suburb but a neuralgic point of the park system that will be able to receive the multiethnic citizens who are living all around..
the symbolic image of the wood has been the inspiration for the structural part of the building: the columns and the beams are interlaced and ideally connected with the outdoor vegetation for creating a structural underwood that can connote the interiors. The inner homogeneous space will unify the thematic that will mix with each other nevertheless keeping clear the various functions. The library users will find a recognizable and comfortable space thanks also to the archetypical call of the natural elements that characterizes the architecture of all the cultures.
The module is generated by dividing the surface in hexagons to guarantee a potentially infinite development and thanks to a fractal subdivision, can conform to every scale. Every elements can be designed dividing the hexagons in triangles. Part of the furniture will be customized and integrated in the architecture, part will be removable to reconfigure the space. The module will also be used to design of the outdoor spaces, the pavements and park furniture to emphasize the unity of the project.
