Libraries – A Design Manual

A comprehensive guide to library design Libraries as a building type have been subjected to substantial changes in particular in the past ten years. Milestones such as Rem Koolhaas’ Seattle Central Library from 2004 reinvented the typology completely and reflected a development from elitist temple of learning to a public living room. Hybrids between library and department store or theater were conceived. Today, the ubiquity of electronic devices and media needs to be taken into account by the designer: every new library has areas without any books now. This work of reference explains systematically all technological and planning requirements of library design. Special features such as RFID, signage, acoustics or specific structural load issues are explained in texts by experts from the fields of architecture and library science. Finally, approximately 40 best-practice case studies of contemporary library design are documented extensively. They are organized in four categories – national libraries, large public libraries, small public libraries, university libraries – and comprise high-profile examples such as Jo Coenen’s Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam, Alvaro Siza’s Public Library Viana do Castelo in Portugal or Mecanoo’s Library of Birmingham from 2013. * Systematic, comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of this fascinating design task * Documents forward-looking and innovative concepts and designs * Substantial contributions by international experts on the entire design and planning process The Library In Its Social Context / Liliane Wong With Nolan Lushington -- The Library User As Customer / Norma Blake -- On The Typology Of The Library / Ursula Kleefisch-jobst -- Form And Function In Library Design / Karl-heinz Schmitz -- Public Libraries In The United States / Nolan Lushington -- Toward The Design Of Libraries / Rebecca Chestnutt -- Plan Configuration And Layout / Liliane Wong -- Library Spaces For Children, Teens And Young Adults / Liliane Wong With Nolan Lushington -- Dialogues : Client, Librarian, Architect / Klaus Ulrich Werner -- Funding Options / Liliane Wong -- Structural Concepts / Wolfgang Rudorf -- Climate Control / Wolfgang Rudorf -- Lighting And Illumination / Wolfgang Rudorf -- Daylighting / Mohamed Boubekri -- Refurbishment And Building Adaptation / Aat Vos -- Shelving / Wolfgang Rudorf, Liliane Wong -- Orientation And Wayfinding Systems / Michael Franke-maier -- Book Security And Rfid / Frank Seeliger --^ Selection Of Projects.

Los hitos tales como la Biblioteca Central de Seattle Rem Koolhaas entre 2004 y reinventó la tipología por completo y reflejan un desarrollo de la sien elitista de aprendizaje a una sala pública. fueron concebidos híbridos entre la biblioteca y el departamento de almacén o teatro. Hoy en día, la ubicuidad de los dispositivos electrónicos y medios de comunicación tiene que ser tenido en cuenta por el diseñador: cada nueva biblioteca tiene áreas sin ningún libro ahora. Esta obra de referencia explica sistemáticamente todos los requerimientos tecnológicos y de planificación de diseño de la biblioteca. Las características especiales tales como RFID, señalización, acústica o cuestiones específicas de carga estructural se explican en los textos por expertos de los campos de la arquitectura y la biblioteca de la ciencia. Por último, estudios de casos, aproximadamente 40 de las mejores prácticas de diseño de la biblioteca contemporánea están ampliamente documentados. Se organizan en cuatro categorías - las bibliotecas nacionales, las grandes bibliotecas públicas, pequeñas bibliotecas públicas, bibliotecas universitarias - y comprenden los ejemplos de alto perfil como el de Jo Coenen Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam, Biblioteca Viana Pública de Alvaro Siza do Castelo en Portugal o de Mecanoo Biblioteca de Birmingham desde 2013. 240 páginasBirkhäuserIdioma: Inglés Asignaturas Arquitectura y Diseño > Arquitectura > Tipos, funciones Biblioteca y Ciencias de la Información, estudios de libros > Bibliotecas y Ciencias de la biblioteca registro MARC reg Contents National Libraries Introduction Det Kongelige Bibliotek National Library Singapore Biblioteca Central Estatal de Guanajuato Wigberto Jiménez Moreno National Library of China Deutsche Nationalbibliothek Large Public Libraries Introduction Burton Barr Central Library Millennium Library Seattle Central Library OBA – Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam Stadtbibliothek am Mailänder Platz Library of Birmingham Small Public Libraries Introduction Peckham Library and Media Centre Biblioteca Pública Usera José Hierro ImaginOn: The Joe & Joan Martin Center Whitechapel Idea Store Miriam Matthews Hyde Park Branch Library Arabian Public Library Biblioteca Municipal Parque Biblioteca España Médiathèque André Malraux Vennesla Bibliotek og Kulturhus Biblioteca Municipal de Almada Biblioteca Pública de Ceuta Gando School Library University Libraries Introduction Central Library Technische Universiteit Delft Law Library Universität Zürich IKMZ – Informations-, Kommunikationsund Medienzentrum Brandenburgische Technische Universität Philological Library Freie Universität Lewis Library Princeton University Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum Humboldt Universität Rolex Learning Center Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Joe and Rika Mansueto Library University of Chicago Kai Feng Humanities and Social Sciences Library Tsinghua University CINiBA – Centrum Informacji Naukowej i Biblioteka Akademicka Uniwersytet Śląski Appendix The Authors Index of Names Index of Places Illustration Credits Der Bautyp Bibliotheken unterlag in den letzten zehn Jahren einem enormen Wandel. Meilensteine wie Rem Koolhaas‘ Stadtbibliothek in Seattle von 2004 definierten den Typus komplett neu und spiegelten die Entwicklung vom elitären Bildungstempel hin zum öffentlichen Wohnzimmer. Mischformen zwischen Bibliothek und Kaufhaus oder Theater entstanden. Zudem ist die Allgegenwart elektronischer Medien planerisch zu berücksichtigen; jede neue Bibliothek enthält heute Bereiche komplett ohne Bücher. Dieses Grundlagenwerk stellt in einem breiten systematischen Teil die entwurflichen, technischen und planerischen Voraussetzungen des Bibliotheksbaus dar. Spezialaspekte wie RFID, Zeichensysteme, Akustik oder besondere statische Anforderungen werden in eigenen Beiträgen von Experten erläutert. In vier Kategorien – Nationalbibliotheken, große öffentliche Bibliotheken, kleine öffentliche Bibliotheken, wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken – werden schließlich ca. 40 internationale wegweisende Projekte dokumentiert, darunter Jo Coenens Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam, Alvaro Sizas Kleinod der Stadtbibliothek für Viana do Castelo oder Mecanoos 2013 eröffnete Library of Birmingham.
