THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION AND NEW TECHOLOGIES ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF ARCHITECTURE: A NEW LIBRARY MODEL

Abstract

The era in which we live is predominantly defined by rapid technological, and thus social changes, where new ways of storing and communicating information are becoming one of the primary topics of study for scientists, engineers, philosophers and artists. At such a time, the question of the future state of traditional architectural programs, such as the library, arises. Their survival lies in the synthesis of phenomena that are the result of contemporary life, whereby the library, as a coffin of knowledge, becomes the basis for defining future spatial patterns that come from our relationship with new technologies. The project, as a continuation of theoretical considerations, shows the possibilities of a library as a direct reflection of contemporary society.
