This Library Park in Colombia consist a system conformed by three contained, rotated, squared modules that turn, adapting themselves to the landscape. The landscape gives the urban geography continuity through the paths and the building of public space on the rooftop, a landscape constituted by paths, theaters or inclined plazas, a spatial network with connection multiplicity and meeting places. Amazing....

 

The Leon de Grief Library has four basic containers!

 

1. CONTAINER 1 - COMMUNITY CENTER - User: individual and in groups. Time: 24 hours. Multiple Salons (quarter meetings), my quarter, gymnasium, sieve, technical substation (optimizing the land cut left by housing).

 

2. CONTAINER 2 - LIBRARY- User: individual. Time: Attending from 8am to 8pm. Foyer, reception, catalogue, collection, reading rooms, navigation centers.

3. CONTAINER 3 - CULTURAL CENTER - User: Organized groups. Time: Scheduled events. Auditorium, workshops.

4. CURVED CONTAINER - 24 hours. Can be used as support. Exposition rooms (as obliged path for all users), cafeteria, management, bathrooms, ludotechs (will be used as kinder gardens 24 hours).

Each container is structurally independent from the basic connector. Modules are conformed by screens in the ends to compensate the projection afore mentioned and in the center 2 axes of rectangular columns in concrete.

 

 Vinyl floors in different colors and shapes covered the areas. Visible roofing in white concrete with inferior cake and wooden panels of 5 cm planks. White antique concrete walls. Crystal plates in sandwich with colored resin on the inside to mark and provide some color to the pedagogic areas.

 

The Library Park proposes the usage of natural air cooling systems, nurturing the inside of the library with fresh air. In addition to this, they put mobile blinds to cover the windows that face the sunset so that the effect of sunlight can be minimized. On top of the roofing-view points are the plantation of trees that provide shadow.
