About The Renovation of Ankang Library 건물은

원래 안강도서관은 1984년에 개관했는데, 개축 이전에는 시설이 정보화 시대에 뒤쳐져 있었습니다. 리노베이션 프로젝트는 오래된 도서관을 새롭고 개방적이며 환영하는 커뮤니티 공간으로 재탄생시켰으며, 기존 맥락과 강한 대조를 강조하고 만들어냈습니다. 새 도서관은 개관 이후 지역사회의 문화생활을 다시 활성화시켰고, 일일 방문객 수도 10명에서 3,000명으로 늘어났습니다.

The design principle aim was to rejuvenate the old library into a new, open and welcoming community space, highlighting and creating a strong contrast with its existing context.

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.
