We have tried to make the spaces of the library into a balanced and harmonious unity, inside and outside, offering gentle spaces for kids and infants especially, in a building which is memorable because of its symbolic shape.

Emptiness for community #1 Cities and Buildings – The Arcade
The new library located on the site of the old community center should have a new function while maintaining the sense of place as the center of the community. To this end, an empty community courtyard that preserves the existing zelkova tree was installed to provide a yard for neighbors to gather and communicate. This is an open neighborhood floor similar to that of Jeongjamok in the past. In addition, the arcade is a boundary, a device that absorbs people from the street, and also functions to make the community courtyard special.
Emptiness for communication #2 Building and Exterior – The Courtyard
The community courtyard is not only an open space for residents, but also a place to store memories of the past community centers. The community place memorized through the zelkova tree and the sign also becomes a place where various cultural functions of the library are performed, and is connected with the interior space. Past and present meet, people and culture communicate, and those encounters are naturally combined into the landscape of the library.
Emptiness for communication #3 Vertical Voids and Programs – The Voids
The proposed three-story open void and archive void inside the library facilitates encounters between programs. The central void includes the program room for infants and toddlers and is combined with an open staircase, and is a structure that can be seen through a window. In addition, by letting light in through the skylight, it became an interesting sympathy and quiet space at the same time. The void connecting the 2nd and 3rd floors located in the general data room visually connects the data room and the multi-purpose room and lecture room at the top, and at the same time has a landscape linked to the zelkova tree outside. Voids for meeting people make communication into meaningful spatial memories.
