people are just passing ...

the idea is coming from the random and improvised markets creates along Asia. A dense line where a lot of people are passing by and slowly, more and more sellers are placing their products on the floor in a blanket or small vehicles. something very primitive, logical and unplanned. We want to offer a interesting path, create a link between 2 landscapes that provides a special experience making people to feel the need of crossing, passing by or just staying and relax.

books books and more books ... and water

I want to be surrounded by books, but books that i can touch, use and read. all the books are displayed on shelves not higher than 1.5m accessible to everyone. 

in one side a wall  made of shelves 50m long provide with books and landscape view to the water. in the other side, a step ramp creates a playground where to sit or lay down while reading in a mountain of books.

​

like a submarine ...

the program is divided in 3 platforms:

. the bridge . near the water, no shelter. couple of long benches go along the bridge offering a place to sit and read or having a nap with the feet under the water.

. submarine. under the water. through a few steps people go inside the pavilion a long with double high and narrow long openings in both sides. it is the display room. a long 100m wall with all kind of books are show in one side where in the other side a stepramp with books too generate a playground where to read, relax or just enjoy the reflection made by water on the walls.

. the telescope. here the space grow wider and focus into the landscape. 3 boxes are floating on the lake containing coffee/tea restaurant + exhibition  room and management offices.
all the boxes provide with a balcony where to sit on the edge and touch the water.
