Prateeti - a Heaping Core of Knowledge

Prateeti - a Heaping Core of Knowledge
??????? ?????? ????? ? - Knowledge for all, accessible to everyone.
The library is a manifestation of a stacked pile of fragments of knowledge, with a still core of void in space. This core serves as a source of light in the central atrium, illuminating the common reading spaces that form a layer around the atrium on each level, fostering an interactive and outward-facing spatial experience. Beyond this strong core of knowledge lie smaller, more isolated fragments—evocative modules for individuals seeking a more introverted and personal space, yet with reserved openings to the outward vistas. A series of books extend beyond the inner spaces, creating a fragmented alignment of bookshelves. Each fragment or block holds a distinct unit of knowledge, allowing the reader to explore specific areas of interest. When all these elements come together, they form a cohesive radial structure, piling up towards the top, with the core standing out prominently at the center. To see more work click here
