About The Renovation of Ankang Library 建物は

元の安康図書館は 1984 年に開館しましたが、改修前はその設備が情報化時代に遅れをとっていた。この改修プロジェクトは、古い図書館を新しくオープンで居心地の良いコミュニティスペースに再生し、既存の状況を際立たせ、強いコントラストを生み出しました。新しい図書館は開館以来、地域コミュニティの文化的生活を再活性化させ、1 日の来館者数は 10 人から 3,000 人に増加しました。

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.
