Best Design Project for Library
About the project (provided by the applicant)
INTER-VOID: Mosaic of Knowledge is a public library set within Seodaemun's evolving urban fabric, artfully merging modern and traditional design elements. Inspired by the district’s dense, mosaic-like patterns, this library serves as both a knowledge hub and social connector. Its central void core acts as a dynamic funnel, channeling knowledge and natural light through the building, offering panoramic views and creating a seamless connection with the surrounding park. The library’s design incorporates open terraces, sustainable wooden frameworks, and innovative green technologies, including solar panels and a stormwater collection system, reinforcing its commitment to environmental stewardship. As a dynamic social connector, INTER-VOID bridges historical and contemporary contexts, fostering community engagement and facilitating a continuous flow of ideas and cultural exchange.
