About The Renovation of Ankang Library Ēka

Sākotnējā Ankangas bibliotēka tika atvērta 1984.gadā, un tās telpas bija atpalikušas no informācijas laikmeta pirms renovācijas. Renovācijas projekts ir atjaunojis veco bibliotēku par jaunu, atvērtu un viesmīlīgu kopienas telpu, izceļot un radot spēcīgu kontrastu ar esošo kontekstu. Kopš atvēršanas jaunā bibliotēka ir no jauna aktivizējusi vietējās sabiedrības kultūras dzīvi, un ikdienas apmeklētāju skaits pieaudzis no 10 cilvēkiem līdz 3000 cilvēkiem.

Unique Properties
The original Ankang Library was opened in 1984, and it’s facilities had fallen behind the information age before the renovation. 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. Since opening, the new library has reactivated the cultural life of the local community, and the number of daily visitors has increased from 10 people to 3,000 people.

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.
