SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
The library is
on the outskirts of Vilnius.
A relatively quiet and leafy location of the existing university campus is about
to change significantly. In upcoming years, a new agglomeration of education
facilities will emerge here.
The library is
located near the pinewood, at the intersection of the main pedestrian path and
a new access road. Neighborhood of the forest has inspired a spatial conception
of the library - cozy inside spaces and their linkage with the nature.
An intimate
amphitheater-plaza is welcoming a visitor. A glazed entrance hall is a
continuation of the plaza space. The same as the outside, it has concrete floor
and terracotta facades. The ground floor, which functions as a central
circulation space, also includes a conference hall, cafeteria, periodicals-reading
room with an open-air terrace.
As walking
further, one is entering reading rooms located on several floors which are
connected by an atrium, focusing the view to the forest. Two glazed facades
face the wood and illuminate the trees at night. At the daytime, the trees are
sunlit and become a visual part of the interior.
The spaces are
diverse and easily transformed. In the interior, white color dominates and
exposes books as well as people.
We believe that
the library should radiate an emotional charge because it is a place of
non-material creativity and spirituality. Therefore, we have chosen the scenery
of expressively and unpredictably varying silhouettes as the main architectural
language.
The volumes are
clad with white terracotta elements. The facades are arranged so that all
joints and gaps are horizontal and run paralelly around the building despite
different angles of leaned surfaces.
Rooms are naturally ventilated via window openings. Solid south-side
partitions hide people and books from direct sun and overheating
on the outskirts of Vilnius.
