About Read Life Espazo Cultural

Read Life é un espazo cultural compartido deseñado para a lectura pública. O proxecto abrangue 815 metros cadrados en dous andares. O primeiro andar alberga a zona principal de lectura, unha panadería, un pequeno supermercado e unha cafetería. As vitrinas expositoras do chan ao teito preto da entrada acollen plantas, que engaden vexetación interior e axudan a purificar o aire. Altas paredes de libros definen o carácter da zona de lectura. O segundo andar rodea o espazo central aberto e contén unha galería de arte e unha zona de xogo infantil. O deseño conecta os libros e as persoas e favorece o intercambio de coñecemento.
