Offener Ideenwettbewerb
Wettbewerbsaufgabe
Bücher spielen unbestritten eine unangefochtene Rolle bei der Gestaltung der Schicksale von Individuen und Gesellschaften gleichermaßen, und nichts leitet den Menschen effektiver als Bücher. Es ist jedoch ein trauriger Gedanke, dass neben anderen positiven sozialen Werten auch die Lesekultur weltweit anhaltend zurückgegangen ist. Bibliotheken waren bis in die Neuzeit die „coolen“ Orte unseres Kulturgefüges. Mit der Erfindung des Internets und einem Ansturm der digitalen Revolution verloren Bibliotheken und Leseräume jedoch ihre Essenz und Aura. Um die abnehmende Lesekultur wiederzubeleben, brauchen wir sofort eine Neuinterpretation der Vorstellung eines Leseraums, damit er für die Masse attraktiver wird.
Der Central Park ist einer der bekanntesten und meistbesuchten Parks der Welt und liegt im Herzen von New York City, was zu einem der charakteristischsten Merkmale des Stadtmusters wird. Es ist der meistbesuchte Stadtpark der Vereinigten Staaten mit geschätzten 37-38 Millionen Besuchern pro Jahr und einer der am häufigsten gefilmten Orte der Welt.
Ziel des Wettbewerbs ist die Schaffung einer Pavillonstruktur im Park, die eine öffentliche Bibliothek/Lesesaal beherbergen soll, um die Lesekultur in der Öffentlichkeit und bei den Besuchern zu fördern. Der Vorschlag sollte darauf abzielen, eine neue Bibliothekstypologie zu schaffen, die sich von der formalen Umgebung der bestehenden Bibliotheken der Welt lösen würde. Die Räumlichkeit der Bibliothek sollte von langweilig und pragmatisch auf innovative, interessante und flexible Typologien von Leseräumen und Inneneinrichtungen etc. neu interpretiert werden. Der Wettbewerb zielt darauf ab, eine Bibliothek im 21. Jahrhundert in einem Park zu schaffen, die den sozialen Faktor in einer Bibliothek berücksichtigt.
Competition assignment
Books undisputedly play an unparalleled role in shaping the destinies of both individuals and societies alike and nothing guides man more effectively than books. However, it is a sad reflection that amongst other positive social values the culture of reading has also persistently been declining across the world. Libraries were the ‘cool’ places of our cultural fabric until the modern age. But with the invention of internet and an onslaught of digital revolution, libraries and reading spaces lost their essence and aura. To revive the diminishing reading culture what we immediately need is to re-interpret the image of a reading space and make it look more appealing to the masses.
Central Park is one of the most known and visited park in the world and is located in heart of New York City, becoming one of the most characterizing features of the city pattern. It is the most visited urban park in the United States, with an estimated 37–38 million visitors annually, and one of the most filmed locations in the world.
The competition seeks for the creation of a pavilion structure in the park that would house a public library/reading studio with an aim to promote reading culture among the general public and visitors. The proposal should aim to create a new-age library typology that would break away from the formal environment of existing libraries of the world. The spatiality of the library should be re-interpreted from boring and pragmatic to innovative, interesting and flexible typology of reading spaces and interior arrangements etc. The participants should focus on creating an experience for the user in the library space that will stimulate the mind to stay and spend time for longer periods.The competition seeks to create a 21st century ‘library in a park’ typology that will incorporate the social factor in a library.
