At this green park of the ward, we designed a "park library" that connects people with books, and people with each other. Although it is difficult due to security and management problem, we tried to make close connections between library and park from the very beginning. By preserving existing trees, controlling the height of the building and providing a comfortable indoor environment adjusted by nature, we aim to define a new relationship between the library and the park, making park the extension of the library and library be part of the park.
