Design Description
The
first
ideas
we
aimed
for
this
library
was
to
provide
private
reading
areas
where
there
is
primary
open
arcade.
The
distance
of
book
shelves
was
intentionally
made
at
early
stage
to
know
the
necessary
space
for
people
to
access
smoothly.
Moreover,
people
who
want
to
read
directly
off
from
the
shelf
would
be
able
to
sit
and
take
a
moment
to
read
through
the
space
given
for
reading
area.
Through
this
basic
unit
allocation,
book
shelves
areas
are
created
and
arrayed
to
make
a
form
of
interior
space.
Thus,
the
allocated
arrangement
has
been spread to drive the architectural design as well.

The
advanced
technology
of
reading
materials
by
computer,
Kindle
and
even
cell‐phone
devices
helps
people
easily
access
to
information
even
way
much
more
than
what
library
could
provide
in
last
decades.
Therefore,
the
main
function
of
library
seems
to
have
a
change
in
order
to
accommodate
the
current
trend
of
getting
and
providing information.
As
for
designing
a
new
library
in
this
era,
our
design
concept
is
to
agree
that
people
are
in
need
of
finding
places
to
sit
and
get
relaxed
for
getting
information
from
books,
magazine,
articles,
etc.
Thus,
the
expanded
program
for
the
local
community
by
providing
classrooms,
and
exhibition
area,
lecture
room,
semi‐private
reading
areas,
digital
data
corner,
etc.
will
be
another
major
change
in
current
library
system.
We
believe
not
in
a
dramatic
way
but
strongly
the
new
design
of
space
that
should
convey
this
change
in
a
way
to
enhance
and
motivate
public to come and enjoy the use of library.
Then,
it
has
been
horizontally
inclined
each
other
to
a
certain
degree
by
providing
enough
entrance,
book
shelves,
semi
private
open
reading
area
one
after
another.
By
doing
so,
its
shape
seems
more
naturally
formed
as
books
on
a
shelf.
The
space
that
we
imagine
for
the
library
was
all
about
user
friendly,
so
the
space
should
be
well
lighten
by
the
sun.
Hence,
a
mass
of
rectangular
is
stretched
to
pass
through
the
each
book
sections
to
get
a
proper
opening
with
lights
from
the
sky.
Also,
parking
lot
entry
was
designed
in
the
same
manner.
For
the
better
use
of
this
extensive
sunlight,
we
brought
Kalwall
(transparent
wall
system)
into
our
main
design
elements.
Its
transparency
is
to
get
enough
brightness
from
the
sun,
and
at
the
same
time,
its
heat
resistance
also
good
for
a
climate
like
Daegu
with four distinct seasons. In
addition,
its
easy
construction
method
would
be
even
beneficial for the realization of the project.
It
has
been
horizontally
inclined
each
other
to
various
degrees
by
providing
enough
entrance,
book
shelves,
semi-private
open
reading
area
and
so
forth.
By
doing
so,
its
shape
seems
more
naturally
formed
as
if
it
is
books on a shelf.
The
space
that
we
intend
for
the
library
is
well
centered
for
prospective
users.
The
space
is
well
lit
by
the
sun
light.
An
imaginary
rectangular
form
is
made
to
create
the
form
of
open
space
for
the
interior
opening
area
to
give
dynamic
views
to
users
and
openness
to
the
different
levels.
In
addition,
parking
lot
entry
was
designed
in
the
same
manner
to
achieve
the
same
quality
of
the
bright
interior
space.
Therefore,
users
will
be
well
exposed to find where they like to go and find what they need.
In
order
to
enhance
the
idea
of
sustainability
with
daylighiting
usage
to
reduce
the
electrical
power
consumption,
we
brought
Kalwall
(transparent
wall
system)
into
our
main
facade
element.
Its
transparency
allows
enough
brightness
from
the
sun,
as
well
as
its
heat
resistance
and
insulation
to
save
lots
of
energy
cost
during winter and summber time in this region due to much temperature differences.

The
structure
system
we
expect
is
basically
reinforced
concrete
structure.
Its
structural
mega
walls
(bookshelves
walls)
act
as
columns.
With
floor
slabs,
they
will
act
as
a
truss
system.
Thus,
for
the
mechanical
design,
we
locate
the
space
on
level
3
floor
for
its
easy
ventilation.
The
interior
air
flow
will
easily
resume
from
the
top
floor
to
circulate
air
into
lower
floor
which
return
air
will
be
located.
The
travel
of
the
air
will
easily
flow
from
the
inner
surface
of
shelves
at
walls
and
under
the
roof
area.
Plus,
the
opening
area
from
the
north
to
the
south
will
create
natural
ventilation of interior space.
We
strongly
believe
that
those
sustainable
design
approaches
to
this
library
apparently
support
the
community
well
with
its
well
lit
opened,
yet
privately
separated
space,
as
well
as
its
energy
savings.
