BIBLIOTHÉQUE BAB LASSAL

Idea projektu

"This Is a design for a Library in Bab Laasaal. After analyzing the site, I observed that it is surrounded by three urban fabrics. Additionally, there are two different grids around the site: an irregular grid that defines the organic shape of the medina and a regular grid that defines the layout of Franceville. Furthermore, we noticed the low density of vegetation around the site. During the visit, I appreciated the richness of its environment, given the presence of several interesting viewpoints. The decision to create a ramp that revolves around the central cube aims to provide users with an architectural promenade, allowing them to experience the environment. I have connected these ramps with my spaces to create a link between the interior and exterior, fostering socio-cultural interaction, as our project is cultural and public in nature."

Popis projektu

This library features reading spaces on each floor in a spontaneous manner, where the reading areas are seamlessly integrated into the architectural journey. Open shelving lines the path, providing accessible reading material throughout. Closed shelving serves an exhibition role, as they are glazed, and in addition to this, there is an auditorium and a versatile space with a cafeteria, acting as the intersection and gathering point within the project.

Technické informace

The project construction is done in a modern manner, incorporating the use of aluminum framing and modern materials.

BIBLIOTHÉQUE BAB LASSAL

Dear Aymen Ouerhani, I commend you on your submission, "BIBLIOTHÉQUE BAB LASSAL," showcasing a thoughtful and innovative design for a library in Bab Laasaal. Your analysis of the site's context and the incorporation of two different urban grids are commendable, demonstrating a keen understanding of the surrounding environment. Strengths: 1. Contextual Sensitivity: Your recognition of the irregular grid of the medina and the regular grid of Franceville, coupled with the low density of vegetation, reflects a deep understanding of the site's context. Creating a ramp around the central cube to enhance the architectural promenade is a thoughtful response to the environment. 2. Integration of Reading Spaces: The seamless integration of reading spaces on each floor, complemented by open shelving lines and closed-glazed shelving for exhibitions, reflects a well-considered approach to library design. This approach enhances accessibility to reading materials while creating a visually engaging experience. 3. Promotion of Socio-Cultural Interaction: The connection of ramps with interior spaces to foster socio-cultural interaction is a commendable aspect of your design philosophy. The aim to create a link between the interior and exterior aligns with the public and cultural nature of the project. Constructive Suggestions: 1. Further Detail on Sustainable Practices: While you mention modern construction methods and materials such as aluminum framing, providing additional details on sustainable practices or green technologies would enhance the project's overall sustainability profile. 2. Spatial Programming Clarity: The description of the auditorium and versatile space with a cafeteria acting as the intersection is intriguing. However, providing more clarity on the specific functions, capacities, and their relationship to the overall spatial programming would strengthen the understanding of your design. 3. Visual Communication: Consider incorporating visual aids, such as diagrams or renderings, to enhance the presentation and better communicate the spatial experience. Floor Plans can help the jury and stakeholders grasp the design intent more effectively. In conclusion, your project exhibits solid conceptual foundations, contextual awareness, and a commitment to fostering cultural interaction. I encourage you to provide more detailed insights into sustainable practices, enhance the clarity of spatial programming, and consider visual aids for a more impactful presentation.
