INSPIRATION: It's a chance to change the reading space in school of Taiwan, we decided to create a library without colorful images and icons. So, we tried to find the plywood instead of veneer.
Wood frame book wall curves onto the ceiling, it looks like a the space is under a tree. Then, that’s what we hope, the students reading under trees, the pebble shelves are on the knowledge river, guide the students into the book world!
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: How the library fill into the space is a challenge for the school reading team(consisted of teachers). So, we tried to propose a separated space concept for school. First, to make sure the entry space ( collaborative classroom corridor) become a charming reading area welcoming students, so we use the wood framed shelves to create a book wall and pebble. Second, to connect the three classrooms with different functions. Third, to open the original teacher office into a reading corner.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The library serves the students in school mainly. The library managed by the Compassion mothers, the students enjoy the library, because they feel free in the space.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Before we designed the library, we stayed at school for a long time to observe the students in the library, the we collected the reading behaviors to make the decisions of design!
CHALLENGE: To design a school library in Taiwan, the most difficult challenge is to persuasive teachers. Taiwan's teachers like to see colors in the public space for children, so we have to overcome the comments during the design and after completed.
