The academic library is traditionally a place for students to do research to study and ultimately to learn. However, the digital surge had a big impact on the library’s purpose and use, which demands a new approach for future design. We need a shift from traditional libraries, creating a program based on components (i.e. books, tablets, chairs, computers etc.) to create a library designed around spaces to foster creativity, collaboration, connection and fun education, in addition to accommodating different studying styles from the most serious activities to the fun loud ones.
The ‘Kaira Looro’ international architecture competition, held by humanitarian organisation Balouo Salo, has this year also, established itself as one of the most important in the field of humanitarian and development design, attracting students and young architects from all over the world. The objective of this edition was to select a humanitarian architecture aimed at hosting activities to combat child malnutrition in an area of Sub-Saharan Africa and donate the entire proceeds to charity. The project proposals were selected by a panel of internationally renowned architects and firms.

The main focus of this series is to understand the design process behind all winning submissions. That is why we will be asking all architects and designers ‘ How you won that competition? ‘. We’re curious about their path, from the first draft, the first blueprint to the full-scale plan. We’re also interested to see which solutions had been dropped on the way, what kind of choices had to be made, and most importantly, what was the grand idea behind the project. That is why we will be asking for sketches, drafts and detailed descriptions so that we can fully understand their technique and the process that resulted in the awarded works.
