The main objective of the municipal projects called for by the city of Tainan was to bring together public facilities. This library appears as a generator of civic programs and library for children, being close to schools
Glass and concrete library. Use of distinct and iconographic wood
The Yuwen Library, designed by MAYU Architects, is a key part of the ongoing projects for the communities of Tainan City: located in a quality residential area, the symbolic use of wood is scenic
The library is a concrete structure of 4 floors and includes not only places for reading but also places for internet browsing, in this age of digital media and audiovisual resources
Inserting themselves in a historical and socio-cultural context, the wooden elements above the lower concrete volume are fundamental to convey the idea of books and symbolize the reading area
The shape of the wood is distinct and iconographic: there are vertical wooden slits that allow diffused sunlight to enter the interior spaces, surrounded by transparent walls
