About The Renovation of Ankang Library Bygning
Det oprindelige Ankang bibliotek blev åbnet i 1984, og dets faciliteter var faldet bagud i informationsalderen før renoveringen. Renoveringsprojektet har forynget det gamle bibliotek til et nyt, åbent og imødekommende fællesrum, der fremhæver og skaber en stærk kontrast til dets eksisterende kontekst. Siden åbningen har det nye bibliotek reaktiveret kulturlivet i lokalsamfundet, og antallet af daglige besøgende er steget fra 10 personer til 3.000 personer.

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.
