“I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture. – Tadao Ando
Education helps in acquiring knowledge, which helps in personal growth, mental and emotional. Education is important in life as it helps everyone develop a good perspective of looking at the world and our society. It helps us to get new ideas and explore new ideas. Despite its importance, education is still inaccessible in remote locations around the world. The first step to education is reading and libraries are the resources of books, which encourage reading and acquiring knowledge. Libraries provide areas for studying with study materials.
“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” – Jorge Luis Borges
This competition aims to bring forward design ideas for libraries in rural areas. A place where children and adults can access knowledge. A place that promotes self-learning and provides a growth opportunity for rural communities.
