About The Renovation of Ankang Library Gebou
Die oorspronklike Ankang-biblioteek is in 1984 geopen, en sy fasiliteite het voor die opknapping agter die inligtingsera geraak. Die opknappingsprojek het die ou biblioteek vernuwe tot 'n nuwe, oop en verwelkomende gemeenskapsruimte, wat 'n sterk kontras met sy bestaande konteks beklemtoon en skep. Sedert die opening het die nuwe biblioteek die kulturele lewe van die plaaslike gemeenskap heraktiveer, en die aantal daaglikse besoekers het van 10 mense tot 3 000 mense toegeneem.

Perforated Aluminum Cladding - Inspiration
- The new Ankang Library adopts a modern curtain wall system, forming a concise massing and pure colour. The transparent glazing combined with the delicate perforated aluminum cladding create an effect akin to a halo. When the two buildings are seen with the vibrant and disordered old city, the following strong contrast brings unexpected drama and contrast. Forty years of passed time are visible with these two urban realms, like a surreal space-time dislocation.
