Parque Biblioteca de Durán.

Abstract

The Durán Public Library Park project presents a response in which the edification and the public-cultural space merge into one, giving the city a place in which their users take ownership of it. To achieve this objective at an urban level, it was necessary to prioritize ac-cessibility, open spaces, broad visuals, the dynamic transition between public and private, the perception of ownership of a place and fluidity of spaces and activities. The aim is to turn the Library Park in the space of all inhabitants, a re-creation space, a place to motivate reading, breaking with the local typo-logies that reading can only occur in silence, sitting and under cons-tant supervision. This space is a place where initiative and spontaneity are valued, overall where curiosity and the habit of reading are encouraged.
