Translation
The first study translates the sombre tranquility of Mount Morak into a porous spherical structure where trees, sky, earth, reflected light, and shadow produce visual tension.
Reading Room — Beyond Reading, Entering Another World.
Library / Spatial Experience / Everyday Ritual
Do we visit libraries simply to read books?
Reading Room begins with the experience of leaving one's everyday surroundings to enter a different environment for reading. The significance of a library lies not only in storing and providing books, but also in offering a spatial experience that allows visitors to step outside familiar routines and encounter unfamiliar perspectives.
The project considers how movement, transition, and spatial thresholds can shape the experience of reading. By understanding the moments before and after reading as part of the architectural experience, Reading Room proposes the library as a place of passage between everyday life and new worlds of thought.
A sequence of compressed passages, controlled light, and open rooms turns reading into an architectural experience of withdrawal, concentration, and discovery. The study asks what remains spatially specific about reading when books and information are available everywhere.
