Book Mountain: Public Library Reimagined
Firm LocationBeijing, China
Project locationProvidence, RI, USA
CompanyRuohong Wu
Lead DesignerRuohong Wu
The concept of "Book Mountain" is manifested through the contrast between a monumental volume and rotating architectural blocks, which not only enhances the spatial tension but also sharpens its symbolic significance. Through meticulous spatial design and community-oriented event planning, the library is evolving into a dynamic community hub serving people of all ages. It is not only a venue for exploration, creation, and connection, reaffirming the unique value of physical books, but also continues to serve as a haven for those in need, deepening the underlying theme of care and inclusivity.
