About The Renovation of Ankang Library Foirgneamh
Osclaíodh bunleabharlann Ankang sa bhliain 1984, agus bhí a cuid saoráidí tar éis titim taobh thiar den aois faisnéise roimh an athchóiriú. Tá an tseanleabharlann tar éis an tseanleabharlann a athnuachan mar spás pobail nua, oscailte agus fáiltiúil, rud a chuireann béim ar chodarsnacht láidir leis an gcomhthéacs atá ann faoi láthair agus a chruthaigh sí. Ó osclaíodh í, tá saol cultúrtha an phobail áitiúil tar éis saol cultúrtha an phobail áitiúil a athghníomhachtú, agus tá méadú tagtha ar líon na gcuairteoirí laethúla ó 10 duine go 3,000 duine.

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.
