the magic of intersection

Jungnangcheon This is the name of the stream flowing in Nowon-gu. It is a stream that starts in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do, passes through Uijeongbu, and passes through Nowon-gu and Dobong-gu in Seoul. The name of Nowon-gu is Jungnangcheon. In the Hannae Neighborhood Park near the Jungnangcheon Stream, there was an abandoned fountain.
-
In fact, it is difficult to imagine the appearance of the fountain. However, it was easy to see that this place was well used because many residents in the neighborhood park enjoyed the public space very well. Grandmothers chatting on a regular basis, and parents bringing their children to play. And today's space, located at the corner where the bridge and the road meet, at the end of the neighborhood park, was being used better.
-
Although the small-scale library fountain is not visible at all, and it is not built with high-quality materials, I would like to say that it is a perfect space for this place.

This place, which has relatively few cultural benefits compared to other regions, was designed to provide some of it. It may have been difficult to give many cultural benefits to a small floor area from the beginning, but the space is fulfilling its role. Various programs such as childcare, small library, community meeting, and cafe are being used well according to time and space division. The appearance of this space is a shape made by weaving gable roof houses like an intersection. So, the bottom part of the space inside has no choice but to intersect continuously. The wall becomes a bookshelf, the desk becomes a reading table, and the staircase becomes another reading room. At the same time, if you walk a little bit, it becomes a cafe from somewhere. I can't tell if it's a cafe or a place to read a book, but there's no problem with writing. At times, it seems to be a place where locals chat with each other. At the entrance, there is also a caretaker so that children can spend time with books and wait for their parents. Children enjoy going up and down these stairs and reading books. Some residents are quietly reading a book, but it seems that they cannot hear the surrounding noise.
-
The size is very small. However, the scenes that the space shows are clear. Rather than different scenes according to time, all the scenes overlap like an intersection. This would not have been possible if it had been a huge national and public library. This is because, in the library, modesty is maintained as a standard. However, the residents who are well aware of what is happening here in the first place are taking this into account and using the space. To that extent, like the form of space, the scene of space continues to intersect, creating a rich scene.
-
Lastly, because of the trees surrounding the space, the scene outside the window of a small space is constantly hung with greenery. The scene outside the window meets the tree, the material of the bookshelf, to make you feel as if you are in the forest. Moreover, despite not using expensive and flashy materials, it is very beautiful because the interior scene and exterior form beauty stand out well.
-
Let's wrap this up here.
-
The intersection of scenes that space shows, the harmony it creates. The atmosphere of the space created by overlapping the materials inside and the view outside the window. and overlapping buildings. It is a place where the stories of space continue to overlap depending on the form, creating fruitful moments.
