torn library

The library may be because of the hard library appearance of when I was growing up, but it is not an easy place to hear. Especially for young children. It looks like a space that compels them to study or read, but in fact, no one in the library is talking about it, but if they don't, they don't force anyone to take any action. However, when we were young, all of us were like, 'Didn't they get injections after being sold for pork cutlet?'. Space also needs such a strategy. The library also needs a new strategy to make it more accessible.

Today's libraries present an interesting strategy. It is an open library in Cheongju, which has entered a huge large-scale complex cultural space. On the first floor, there are spaces selling various food and beverages and spaces selling clothes. The spaces there are not the food courts you saw in the library when you were a child, but colorful spaces that embody the things you dreamed of with your own opinions. And in the center, the beautifully open Boys Space [VOID SPACE _ The open space above your head. In other words, it refers to a space without a floor on the upper floor. It is an open space, and it is easy to think of the escalator space in a department store.], the sunlight falls to the floor. The escalator that goes up and back is the beginning of this library. If you have already been deceived by a pleasant F&B space, your journey to the library has just begun.

There is a recommended book of the month on each floor around the escalator space. There are not only books, but there is also a spatial device that makes you want to sit down and look at it by creating a delicate pocket space [POCKET SPACE _ refer to the story of Songpa Book Museum]. The appearance of the space looking down while going up and the library seats embedded one after another lead them to the last floor without knowing it. It is suitable to arouse interest in the sculptures seen on the top floor. The exhibition space on the middle floor is also one of the decoys to the library. If you follow the light falling from the ceiling and go up the space, you arrive at the library, the last floor.

In the end, the library becomes a 'place that you hear as you go'.

It is a high-level skill that guides and moves the user's movement in space according to spatial awareness. This does not apply precisely to all users, but it is usually appropriate for a space heard without purpose. I didn't know either, so I happened to find out after I arrived at the library.

So the library is literally fragmented. The pieces are scattered through gaps in space to provide functions. It makes the book look natural. And without noticing it, he leads him to the library on the last floor of the room. It's fun. It's like applying the story of 'I was getting an injection when I woke up from tonkatsu' in my childhood as it is in the space.

Moreover, although it is not very large, various seats are prepared for the purpose of public facilities so that various people can use it comfortably. After seeing the cozy and beautifully decorated library, you can only come out after scanning it slowly.

Perhaps this library, known only as a repository of knowledge, is showing wisdom.

This is the Cheongju Open Library, the destination of fragmented library wisdom.
