Phive is much more than a Library. It is an exceptional public and cultural facility filled with community and exhibition spaces as well as the City of Parramatta’s Council Chamber. A new city landmark and a place where locals and visitors can meet, discover, learn and share. Around this multidisciplinary program, the design is infused with innovation and sensitivity. Its shape is sculpted within the angle of the winter sun plane, respecting access to sunlight in the public square all year round. The roof takes on a slight curve to the top of the new civic spire, with colours moving from bright to pale at the top, allowing the building to feel like it is reaching into the clouds.

Our approach to the design of a new library for the Cricket Club Of India has been informed by our thoughts on what a library in the information age must do. In increasingly digital times, fewer people than ever visit libraries - and those that do, don’t stay, but only come to take/ return books. As the need to physically access books diminishes, the library must be seen as a house of knowledge rather than a house of books. This means activating the space by providing for exchange of ideas between people through activities. Social interaction will give people a reason to visit, and more importantly stay in the library.  Suryan//Dang Suryan//Dang Suryan//Dang On a conceptual level, the design of the bookshelves dra...

The library did not define its purpose by allowing it to be used in various ways, breaking away from the stereotype that it is a space for only reading books. There are various spaces such as bar tables, seminar rooms, and long tables that are good for using alone or for many people. The type of visitor was also not specifically defined. Therefore, residents will visit the library more often. With frequent visits by residents, it becomes a village library where people gather and communicate through books and teas. tqtq Studio tqtq Studio tqtq Studio This library has a different shape from the existing one. The bookcase was built on the wall rather than as furniture, so that the bookcase itself became a wall. The pillar was a... More
