COMPANION
"Companion" is a project about the community library for the neighborhood's old and young groups. By analyzing various aspects of the residential community's context, its Genius Loci is defined and propose a sharing library. The project's primary purpose is to emphasize companionship for children and the elderly. The overall design of the installation is based on the characteristics of the surrounding environment. As modular libraries move to different locations, they will change shape and function according to local environmental aspects. It is an interaction between humans and the environment.
“Man does not only 'build' nature, but also builds himself, society and culture, and in this process, he may interpret a given environment differently.”
- Christian Norberg "Towards a Phenomenology of Architecture"
