Public Library Complex in Osaka, Japan
“Libraries are perhaps the most important repositories of our human knowledge and consciousness; they embody our world as we have learned or created and know it.
Yet, this world however remains dormant until the interested person, or the public “wakes” it by accessing and engaging its content.”
B. Bognar Your project for the 2016 Spring Semester will be a large and full-fledged public library complex of 40,000 sqm (~430,000 sqft). Your site is just north of the Osaka main station, where the removal of the freight train depot opened up a large area for development.
Programmatic requirements (comparable to the Seattle Public Library); http://www.spl.org/locations/central-library/cen-about-the-central-library Entrance Hall / Atrium with Lounge and other public facilities Information Center on each floor Coffee shop / snack bar New book collection Journals and magazines Open stack: 1,5 million books and other items Closed stack: 1 million books and other items Computer lab and workshop Children’s Library and play area
Reading areas on each floor Small study rooms Conference facilities (15 separate halls) Multipurpose Public auditorium for 800 persons Art Gallery / Exhibition facilities Restaurant for 300 guests Parking for 200 cars Exterior public plaza(s) and landscaping In this major urban design project your goal is to analyze the given site, its connections to the urban fabric, the busy rail station, the metro system, the vehicular roads, as well as the programmatic requirements. You will develop urban design strategies and design a well-working and attractive facility, which fits into its context, has all the modern facilities, such as RFID (Radio Frequency ID System) for book handling, as well as complies with all requirements of sustainability (energy conservation, emission reduction, etc). Regarding the size and complexity of the program, you will be working in teams of two (2) in the studio. The work in the studio starts with a presentation by your instructor and your doing extensive research on libraries.
