Project
Garden square at the Friends’ library
Nomination
Best Implemented Project of Public Space
About the project
Libraries changed, and their surrounding grounds should change, too. The garden square contains art objects that catch the eye and invite to get inside. It is a kind of a spatial puzzle for passers by to solve. Together with the library the authors chose the word СЛОВА (WORDS), where one of the books is used as a bookcrossing shelf.
This is a flexible space ready to adjust. Under the shed, a lecture, a performance, or an exhibition can take place. A quest can be arranged along the pathway, a chess tournament – in the decorative games zone at the entrance, and you also can play scrabble or other games drawn right on the tiling.
