Promised more than twenty years ago, the new Salim-Hatubou library of Plan d’Aou forwards the flourishing of the northern, Saint Antoine district, giving impetus to a new dynamic in this isolated neighborhood. In creating this establishment, the City of Marseille offers a new type of media library at the crossroads of digital society, public reading and social integration. This facility promotes itself as an institution open to all and where the diversity of cultures fosters public enrichment.
Installed in a new building combining offices, housing and public facilities, our mission in the design of the media library includes the plan and installation of all interior fittings, plus an auditorium and offices, with equipment and all of the furniture; the landscaping of the two exterior patios; and the creation of a visual identity with graphics and signage.
Playing upon the existing building's concrete structure by embedding wooden fixtures into peripheral walls and installing transparent structures creates large open spaces, freeing up views and allowing for the circulation of people and light. Wood is strongly present in the playful furniture and shelving walls as well as in the grid-like ceiling, which unifies the volume. Thematic spaces are delimited with the help of low metal furniture and the modulation of the floor covering, resin or parquet. Entirely open and even extending into the public areas, the auditorium is made up of wide, wooden rows that are available to readers’ use during the day outside of special events. Discreetly located up above, staff offices watch from a distance. The patio is organized around an old hackberry tree and is interspersed with seats for reading in a Mediterranean garden.
