About Oksoo Elementary Biblioteca Escolar

Oksoo Elementary és una biblioteca escolar remodelada per a una escola pública de primària a Seül. El projecte forma part d'un programa que converteix instal·lacions antigues en espais d'aprenentatge creatiu. La biblioteca està organitzada com un pati de jocs, de manera que els límits entre jugar i llegir romanen oberts. Els infants llegeixen asseguts a taules, sobre coixins, o estirats a terres calefactats descalços. Les prestatgeries estan disposades a diverses alçades per adaptar-se al nivell visual dels infants. El sostre està pintat de color blau cel, i s'ha seleccionat la il·luminació per a cada zona, tot reutilitzant alguns dels llums LED existents.

Production Technology: Considering that the lighting and ceiling play an important role in creating the atmosphere, the ceiling is painted insky-blue, the lighting products were selected depending on the space, and some of the existing LED lights werereused.
Some floors are heated, so you can take off your shoes, lie down, and read freely. This space is especially popular inwinter.
Formerly, the south-facing light was so strong that it interfered with reading, so the blinds were always lowered andsome windows are blocked with bookshelves.
The librarian’s space is spacious and the storage space is abundant, they are positioned to allow an entire interiorview of the library.
The limited budget of the public school made it difficult, but after much consultation with the school and the construction company, we were able to provide a library that is very satisfactory to the students.
Inspiration: In the playground-like library space, the boundaries between playing and reading are ambiguous. Children sit at their desks, recline on cushions, and lie down to read.
The bookshelves are arranged in a variety of ways to hold many books, such as double-rail bookshelves and other bookshelves that fit the children’s eye levels.
