LIBRARY plus - Multiporpouse Building with Library
Ochotná, Barbora ; Foretník, Jan (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The library is perceived in the history of human culture as a temple of education and knowledge. The Book Temple. These are the spaces filled with millions of books in which the experiences, fantasies and ideas of mankind are written. Books are the medium that mediates them. They are constantly on the rise, their number is infinite. New books acknowledge, deny or replace old ones. They represent a continuous stream of knowledge whose truth is very relative. No one is able to read all books, and learn the "objective truth". The library creates a strain resulting from the consciousness of inevitable ignorance. Physical space with books continues beyond the boundary of the mirror into endlessness out of our reach. Absolutely surrounded by books and the lack of contact with the outside world allows confrontation with the boundaries of one's own knowledge, which can be unbearable. Escape from the world of books allows stairs, that suddenly appear after passage between library shelves arranged along a curve that prevents perspective view. The mind finds relaxation in the soft spaces on the ground floor or in nature on the roof of the library.
