Public Library

Spijkenisse Book Mountain

뒤로 다운로드

The new public library in the Dutch city of Spijkenisse lies in the centre of town. Its form and the materials used are reminiscent of a classic Dutch farmhouse and hark back to the town’s agricultural past. Aside from the actual library, the building contains other rooms, that create the base upon which the platforms supporting the bookshelves sit. The platforms form a pyramid, which is covered by a glass and timber-frame construction.

심사평

The library’s unusual concept turns it into a symbol of the past and future. This veritable “mountain of books” invites the visitor to read and interact with other people.
