Renovation of a parkland library

Pingtung Public Library by Mayu Architects

Lorem Ipsum: Zwischenüberschrift

Pingtung Public Library, which is Taiwan’s only parkland library, has stood in the 5-hectare Millenium Park in Pingtung City since 1983. Mayu Architects took on not only the renovation of the existing building, but the construction of an addition as well.

A new reception hall on the west side of the building ensures that the library appears more transparent and accessible to the public, points that were particularly important to the architects. The new entrance area now directly faces the city.

The new lobby is the shape of a parallelogram with an open floor plan. The three-storey hall is borne by a continuous V-shaped steel construction. A large-scale glass facade floods the spaces with light while giving park visitors a view inside the library. The reception hall features several triangular reading islands above a sunken seating area and a floating mezzanine. Warm wooden elements contrast with the cool surfaces of black steel.

Mayu Architects have transformed the original entrance area into a bright, multifunctional atrium. The lower level is home to a spacious, wooden reading room with various seating options. A voluminous spiral staircase leads to the upper levels, where separate work areas and quiet zones are located. The redesign of the library has increased seating capacity from 150 to 500.

A special characteristic here is the centrally located children’s and youth library, which extends over several storeys and has had its area more than doubled. The large, white stairway has been fitted with audiovisual equipment. Presentations and activities are offered here as a way to raise young people’s interest in libraries.
