Deichmanske Library
Type
The proposed urban configuration of the new Deichmanske Main
Library capitalizes on the site’s morphologic potential. The site is centrally
and prominently located between existing and up-and-coming cultural
institutions. Positioned between the waterfront and the Oslo Fjord, the new
library’s compact program has been divided into a number of volumes -
‘solitaries’ - that have been evenly dispersed throughout the site.
Rotating each volume towards one another, a public commons is
defined, giving way to diverse exteriors, as well as unexpected perspectives.
The built volume of the project realises the site's commercial value; the
public common become a scenic void that superimposes the spatial qualities of
the alley, the way, the forecourt and the square - by merging them together
into a meandering public realm.
To the west of the property, the five volumes that comprise the
new Deichmanske Main Library become a part of the project's overall spatial
logic by merging together, and in turn, become an iconographic sculpture on the
capital's skyline.
Overtly public functions are predominantly concentrated on the
ground floor to enable a vivid streetscape, whereas the public areas of the
library have been evenly distributed in section to benefit from the expansive
exterior views of the Oslo Fjord, which also serves to strengthen the public
presence and recognition value.
