Media Library: A Retrospection

“Media Library” re-imagines the traditional concept of a library by transforming it into a ‘third place.’ Beyond its role as a repository of books, this innovative space encourages public participation, creativity, and interaction. The building design integrates various functions, including display areas, music studios, and a cafe-restaurant. Its facade, resembling an unfurling ribbon, interacts with the surrounding urban environment. The interior features “bubbles” that serve as intimate cocoons for specific activities. Overall, this project challenges conventional library norms and invites visitors to engage actively in their own experiences.
