About Oksoo Elementary Biblioteca escolar

Oksoo Elementary es la remodelación de la biblioteca de una escuela primaria pública de Seúl. El proyecto forma parte de un programa que transforma instalaciones antiguas en espacios de aprendizaje creativo. La biblioteca se organiza como un patio de juegos, de modo que los límites entre jugar y leer permanecen abiertos. Los niños leen en escritorios, sobre cojines o tumbados en el suelo radiante, con los zapatos quitados. Las estanterías se disponen a distintas alturas para adaptarse a la línea de visión de los niños. El techo está pintado de azul cielo y la iluminación se seleccionó para cada zona, reutilizando algunas luminarias LED existentes.

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.
