OBA BUITENVELDERT BRANCH LIBRARY
“library + theater”
2 day Charrette Design Workshop with Mecanoo and OBA(Amsterdam Public Library) to re-program OBA Buitenveldert. Conceived as a community theater, this branch library engages its park setting to encourage the use of an educational resource in a minority neighborhood. The project was developed with the community in a series of quick investigations which resulted in an inclusive design approach and interactive service strategies that would attract users in the neighborhood. The project found two distinct goals emerge from the investigation process: a library that would be a recognizable welcoming element for the community; and the need to provide a theater space room that would serve the growing cultural activity in the under-serviced neighborhood.
