*이스라엘 국제 도서관 [ ODA ] National Library of Israel

반응형


새롭게 제안되는 이스라엘 국립도서관은 대지의 과거와 현재, 그리고 미래의

다양성을 포괄적으로 수용하는 공간으로 계획됩니다.

기존의 획일화된 도서관이 담아 내지 못하는 다양한 활동성과 프로그램을

함축적인 건축적 언어로 담아냅니다. 이러한 함축적인 언어의 표현은 지상으로 부터 들려진

모노리스로 표현함으로써 그 상징성을 배가 시키는 동시에 대지를 형상화한 저층부

포디움층의 다이나믹한 볼륨과 대비 시키는 형태적 방법을 취하고 있습니다.

여기에 휴먼스케일을 크게 넘어서는 압도적인 건축적 스케일은

또다른 감동을 선사합니다.

The design for the National Library of by ODA takes on special significance as a site where past, present, and future converge. Unlike traditional libraries, often closed fortresses of knowledge, the new library is organized around a variety of platforms of activity that enhance interaction between the users, enabling the library to become a forum for cross-disciplinary conversations. Through the form of a floating monolith that visually connects to the foundations of Parliament, the library underscores the idea that education and learning are the bedrock of democracy. More images and architects’ description after the break.




The library of the 21st century is a place animated with activity, where ideas are honored and exchanged as well as generated. The new library is a magnet for scholars and students from around the world. The pure form of the monolith contains the library’s most essential function—the reading room. This volume rests on a mountain-like base that extends the surrounding topography. Invoking the Israeli tradition of building, the mountain is excavated to reveal a dynamic hub of programming within the cavern.


Thanks to its physical permeability and transparency, the inviting building embodies a sense of openness that distinguishes it from the highly protected governmental buildings in the neighborhood. The new library building creates a dialogue with the cultural buildings to the southwest, notably the National Museum of Art, the Shrine of Book, and the older library at the university, while establishing itself as part of the Parliament district grid.


Protected by the monolith, a public plaza located directly opposite the Parliament building marks the beginning of a journey of learning. Stepping into the excavated space of the mountain, visitors have several choices. Climbing the mountain, visitors discover a mix of events including permanent and temporary exhibitions. Venturing below, visitors can learn about the treasure collections and have a glimpse of the building’s operating systems. Throughout the journey, light acts an attractive force, sequentially intensifying and ebbing to orient and guide visitors.


The journey ends at the reading room, which unfolds over 7000 square meters of open space. This vast volume is broken into smaller areas that create a sense of micro-urbanity, encouraging interaction between users and researchers from different fields. Organized across multiple gradients of light, sound, and security, the reading areas accommodate a range of study typologies, from most quiet to most social. The perforated nature of the monolith performs as a viewing device for the surrounding landscape, the city and the public space below. Outside, the existing field is preserved and extended onto the library’s rooftop. From the roof, a continuous landscape wraps around the building, enhancing its sense of openness. The sloped landscape acts as a natural amphitheater, allowing for public gatherings and events, while a rooftop bar and restaurant ensure that the building is active from day into evening.


The library is an extension of both the natural and cultural landscape, physically and conceptually tying together the most powerful components of the surrounding district. The building draws on history as it looks the future, celebrating the quest for knowledge in its expansive reading room. The new National library of Israel is a living place—a destination, site of learning, and catalyst for engagement.
