About Oksoo Elementary 學校圖書館

玉樹小學係首爾一間公立小學經過翻新嘅校內圖書館。呢個項目係將舊有設施改造成創意學習空間計劃嘅一部分。圖書館嘅佈局好似遊樂場咁樣，令遊戲同閱讀之間嘅界線保持開放。小朋友可以喺書枱度、坐喺軟墊上，或者除低鞋仔瞓喺暖地板上閱讀。書架設置有唔同高度，以配合小朋友嘅視線水平。天花板漆成天藍色，每個區域都揀選咗合適嘅燈光，當中亦重用咗部分現有嘅LED燈具。

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.
