Задание конкурса – предложить концепцию небольшой, но функциональной библиотеки, рассчитанной на 50 посетителей. Проект ориентирован на отдаленные, прежде всего сельские районы, однако участники сами выбирают конкретное место, где хотели бы разместить свой проект. Важно, чтобы здание гармонично вписывалось в окружающую среду и способствовало развитию местного сообщества.
As the world is continuously transforming and expanding, the amount of data and information created every day is also increasing constantly. Human intellect today is expected to evolve at the same rate as our world to continue our journey into the future. Despite all the information, reading and self-learning remain the most powerful tools available to mankind to consume knowledge. Learning bolsters awareness, exposure and productivity, which in turn results into development.
Despite its importance, education is still inaccessible to many communities in remote locations around the world. Self-learning, especially through reading, is crucial for the society’s development. It is necessary to have places promoting education and self-learning to educate the local population within the closest proximity. It will make them accessible to gainful employment opportunities in their home towns and will thereby avoid the need for migration elsewhere.
Can we rethink a library of the 21st-century public space where knowledge is not limited to books? Can we ignite the new age movement of learning?
