"The first library, Zhongnan Book Pavilion, revitalized its campus environment, while the second, Qin Feng Book Pavilion, created a shared space bridging school and village life."
"Through these projects, we recognized that rural construction requires a clear distinction between architect-controlled elements and open-ended components, inviting teachers and students to co-shape their environment."
"This approach aligns closely with N. John Habraken's concept of 'Open Building,' emphasizing collaboration in the design process."
Yuan Architecture Studio has developed three rural school libraries in the Qinling Mountains as part of Samsung's CSR program. The first library, Zhongnan Book Pavilion, was completed in 2021 and revitalized the campus environment. The second, Qin Feng Book Pavilion, finished in 2023, created a shared space that connects school and village life. These projects highlight the importance of distinguishing between architect-controlled elements and open-ended components, allowing teachers and students to collaboratively shape their environment, reflecting the principles of Open Building by N. John Habraken.
