基隆市立安樂高級中學新概念圖書館

The library is located on the only passage connecting the entire campus with the outside world, so it is necessary to deal with the issue of pedestrian flow. In the previous overall planning and design proposal for Keelung Anle High School, it was mentioned how to separate the flow of commuter traffic and student shuttle buses to ease traffic. This time, we focus on the route design of the library and how to use the building's shape to ease traffic and plan pedestrian flow, which is one of the most important tasks of the library.

We divided the building into two parts.

 The first part is the "drop-off/pick-up area" to guide pedestrian flow and clearly delineate the entrances and exits of the junior high and high school sections, so that parents can park in the correct location and improve efficiency in getting on and off the vehicles. 

The second part is the "facade" defining the campus boundary, which replaces the traditional school gate, making the entrance and exit more distinctive and enhancing the overall image of the campus.

Furthermore, the existence of the library also provides two school gates and a pedestrian bridge for easier access for different users of Keelung Anle High School.

Traditionally, walls are used to divide the various functions of a library, but in this project, we have designed a non-wall partitioning method.

Skylight:

1. Using skylights to bring in natural light from the outside, we have created partially raised and stepped spaces beneath the skylights to distinguish between academic and leisure areas.

2. Pathways:

A pathway running east to west divides the library into academic areas such as meeting and presentation rooms.

In this new concept library, functions that don't require a quiet environment can hear each other while maintaining their own areas.
