Punggol Regional Library was designed in response to four main objectives: building inclusive knowledge societies, fostering cultural diversity, achieving sustainable development and bridging the digital divide. It is envisioned as a nebula, a cloud-inspired form and spatial expression that suggests the idea of exploration of knowledge and inclusivity of all age groups. Similar to journeying through the galaxy, the library’s planning allows users to move through the space as one explores and learns.
