The Design
About The Renovation of Ankang Library Zgrada
Izvorna knjižnica Ankang otvorena je 1984. godine, a njezini su objekti zaostali u informacijskom dobu prije obnove. Projekt obnove pomladio je staru knjižnicu u novi, otvoreni i gostoljubivi prostor zajednice, ističući i stvarajući snažan kontrast s njezinim postojećim kontekstom. Od otvorenja nova knjižnica reaktivirala je kulturni život lokalne zajednice, a broj dnevnih posjetitelja porastao je s 10 na 3000 ljudi.

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.
