About Oksoo Elementary 学校图书馆

玉水小学项目是对首尔一所公立小学图书馆的改造设计。该项目隶属于一项将老旧设施转变为创意学习空间的计划。图书馆的布局如同游乐场,使游戏与阅读之间的界限保持开放。孩子们可以坐在书桌前阅读,也可以靠在坐垫上,或脱掉鞋子躺在地暖地板上阅读。书架设置为不同高度,以适应儿童的视线水平。天花板漆成天蓝色,各区域的照明经过分别选配,并对部分原有的LED灯具进行了再利用。

Production Technology: Considering that the lighting and ceiling play an important role in creating the atmosphere, the ceiling is painted insky-blue, the lighting products were selected depending on the space, and some of the existing LED lights werereused.
Some floors are heated, so you can take off your shoes, lie down, and read freely. This space is especially popular inwinter.
Formerly, the south-facing light was so strong that it interfered with reading, so the blinds were always lowered andsome windows are blocked with bookshelves.
The librarian’s space is spacious and the storage space is abundant, they are positioned to allow an entire interiorview of the library.
The limited budget of the public school made it difficult, but after much consultation with the school and the construction company, we were able to provide a library that is very satisfactory to the students.
Inspiration: In the playground-like library space, the boundaries between playing and reading are ambiguous. Children sit at their desks, recline on cushions, and lie down to read.
The bookshelves are arranged in a variety of ways to hold many books, such as double-rail bookshelves and other bookshelves that fit the children’s eye levels.
