A library that combines indigenous knowledge with cutting-edge technology, "Forest Book Garden" uses culture as ink and nature as its brush to illustrate how knowledge and ecology are merged. The roof, which represents profound cultural legacy and innovation, is shaped like a canopy above a forest of knowledge, inspired by the resilience and lightness of ginkgo leaves.
The design's interior, which is formed like a mountain, echoes the idea of "water flow erosion" by erasing barriers between indoor and outdoor space. Every visitor is taken on a cultural exploration tour by the center "valley" atrium, which resembles a storehouse of traditional knowledge. The cozy wooden reading areas create a futuristic yet ancient reading heaven with their clever AI technology integration and play of light and shadow.
All readers have an equal opportunity to gain knowledge thanks to the meandering ramps' barrier-free access, which also adds a sense of natural discovery. Every corner provides a close-up view of nature and culture, igniting readers' passion for reading and their creative juices in all age groups. From the "Elegant West Garden" to the "Jungle Secret Realm" and the "Forest Tribe,"
The design embodies the idea of a green building, as demonstrated by the solar systems and cutting-edge glass curtain walls that highlight the design's dedication to environmental preservation. The "Forest Book Garden" is an example of a green and intelligent library thanks to these elements, which guarantee minimal energy consumption and effective energy utilization.
This creative design invites all information seekers to set out on a journey through the forest of wisdom, reinterpreting the library as a location where ecological harmony and cultural heritage converge in the contemporary period.
