Biblioverse – Multifunctional building with library
Košútová, Kristína ; Kratochvíl, Jan (referee) ; Bykov, Oleksii (advisor)
Children's libraries in the Czech and Slovak Republic are a mirror of education. The spaces are undersized, furnished with furniture and carpets to at least somewhat muffle children's screams. The question remains whether such furnishings are sufficient and whether a children's library should look and function differently. The project is being taken up by a new branch of the Jiří Mahen Municipal Library - the Children's Library. It is based on an understanding of child development, how children play and learn new things during their childhood - from birth to the age of 12. Children can create their own games and toys to play with in the library. Children will be able to make their own choices about how they spend their time in the library. Whether they will play individually according to their own ideas or become part of any workshop organised by the Jiří Mahen Library. In the project I define 3 basic typologies that make up the space, and these are part of the building's mass. The tower - it is the main vertical element, thanks to which children can move between several floors, but it is also a space hiding interactive elements and games. The Cave - is a smaller space that resembles a refuge or hiding place for children who want to hide and read, or just want to find their own corner. Tunnel - is the main horizontal element that connects the important points of the two main building volumes.
