The Vennesla Library and Culture House by Norwegian architects
Helen & Hard uses wood to a whole new level. Its sleek exterior separates
wood out into ribs for elegant light entry. The most interesting and amazing thing
about it is the integration of the interior wood structure with the functionality
of the library as the wood swoops and forms seats/reading beds as well as book shelves
(which reminds me very much of what we are doing with the current studio
project – furniture integration). Lastly, the way its innovative exterior falls
into the context of the neighboring buildings at the city square truly fulfil
the client’s original intent to mark the library as the city’s cultural center.
