Gwangju River Reading Room

Adjaye AssociatesGwangju, South Korea2013Павильоны

Situated on the banks of the Gwangju River and connecting to the street level above, the memorial pavilion draws inspiration from the concept of a reading room—encouraging interaction between city’s inhabitants through the exchange of books. Split over two levels, it houses 200 books in memory of the 200 students of Chonnam National University, who lost their lives in May 1980. Each book is housed in a separate slot so they are clearly visible as individual elements, but together form the appearance of a single entity from within the pavilion.
