Vila Nova de Gaia Public Library
阿尔科泽卢公共图书馆
Silence / noise, communication / Insight, Light / Shadow, every moment of the project searches for a smooth adaption between the program, the project and the site. The plan of this library was develop in order to generate a personal interpretation of the program, that overflows to the created form. The building conquests the land through three expansive gestures. Every gesture / volume arises from the interpretation and organisation of the program. Act 1: Silence In the first volume are located the reading rooms. The aim is to create comfortable and bright spaces propitious to introspection and reading. Act 2: Noise and Interaction In the second volume, the spaces seek for communication, interaction and socialisation, being located here the cafeteria, library and multipurpose room. Act 3: Coordination In the third volume are the spaces associated with the operation and administration of the library. The Atrium, a functional distribution element, makes the connection between the three volumes, acquiring different characteristics in each volume.
