WALK ABOUT CULTURES is a library rehabilitation project where “walk” is the enveloping concept of space.
The “walk” is understood as an architectural walk, a road with a slope that leads the space, breaking it to offer different spaces. An exhibition space, work and rest areas, an intimate place where being able to read and study are difficult to group together in the same space without any kind of separation, that is where the slope becomes the axis of the composition.
The idea of creating a slope has arisen from wanting to generate a spatial reading for the viewer and perceive the spaces from this path, interacting with them when it is possible. It is also the main access for people with motor functional diversity.
In this case as something more innovative, going into this library means remembering that slip on a water slide where you can’t know what is happening outside. This is what has been tried to achieve with planes of different heights and cuts to form the slope.
