About Jinan Cultural Archives Center Innenarchitektur einer Bibliothek

Das Jinan Cultural Archives Center ist eine Bibliotheksinnenarchitektur im Stadtbezirk Lixia von Jinan in der Provinz Shandong. Die Bibliothek ist einer von acht Veranstaltungsbereichen innerhalb des Kultur- und Archivzentrums und nimmt das zweite bis vierte Obergeschoss auf der Südwestseite des Gebäudes ein. Der Entwurf ordnet die Wegeführung neu, verändert die Position der Rolltreppe und formt die Kante des Atriums um. Glastrennwände öffnen Sichtbeziehungen zwischen den Bereichen und schaffen eine ruhige Leseatmosphäre. Das Ergebnis ist ein gemeinschaftlicher Raum, in dem Anwohner unterschiedlichen Alters lesen, sich begegnen und an kulturellen Aktivitäten teilnehmen können.

Unique Properties
The project is located in Lixia District of Jinan, Shandong Province, surrounded by cultural, educational and creative commercial resources. As one of the eight venues of the cultural and archives center, the library occupies the 2nd to 4th floors on the southwest side of the center. In order to provide residents of different ages with an emerging library model with a diversified human scale, we have built the library into a shared space.
Dimensions & Packaging
Reconstruction means disassembling and reorganizing and restructuring. The structure is not limited to space, but also the reorganization of behavior and sight. In order to realize the creation of shared space, the public space of the existing building needs to be split, reorganized and adjusted, and the streamlines must be sorted out and adjusted.

Production Technology
In the library block, we analyze and reconstruct the original situation to find pointcuts. After clarifying the overall optimization direction, through the analysis of the functions and structure of the traditional library, the functions and streamlines’ relationships among them were reorganized and constructed.
On the second to fourth floors, we integrated the overall streamlines, adjusted the position of the escalator, pushed and pulled the edge of the library atrium without affecting the streamlines, and the use of glass perspective to reduce the urgency of reading space and enrich people's space experience.

Research
As a very iconic urban cultural building, the designer hopes that this project can become a center that gathers local residents, which can provide people with different scales of communication and reading space, build a shared community, promote people's sharing and communication, and connect the future of the city. It will become a carrier for the spread of Jinan culture, inheriting traditions and having distinctive characteristics of the times.
Inspiration
In response to the theme of sharing and the trend of the era, we started from people's perception and experience, optimized the sight relationship in the space, placed space nodes, added functional spaces, reorganized people's social behavior, and promoted the realization of "shared knowledge".
Project Duration
The project started in September 2019 and finished in June 2021 in Jinan, Shandong Province.
Operation Flow
As a very iconic urban cultural building, we hope to create a center that gathers local residents. The library provides a place for residents to develop a good reading habit, and facilitates them to carry out various social, cultural, entertainment, and sports activities, and builds sharing community.
