Daegu Gosan Public Library | Eduardo Lopez

This proposal arises from two considerations; in the first place, understanding the importance of the facade as a foreground and background to the library site and the secondly, taking up the radical change to the direct link between the "green belt" and the surrounding area. To resolve that, we try to merge the library volume with the buildings next it. and we create a movement in the facade, where the trees of the "green belt" carved the facade vertically, creating a game of subsidence and outgoing. One of the most powerful, is that the building conforms to all existing trees, without demolishing any existing green area, adapting to the geometry that is between those green masses. One of the main ideas of the project is to create lighting courtyards inside the project. These light wells are oriented according to the inclinations and altitudes more unfavorable winter solstice, with the aim of introducing the lighting in the most unfavorable days. These lighting courtyards are open and intersect each other creating voids. They are also organizing elements of the stations in both plan and section, reflecting themselves in the facade.
