The Ideal Form for Contemplation

Architecture: Kengo Kuma and Associates & Mad Arkitekter & Buro Happold Engineering
Project: Ibsen Library
Location: Skien, Norway


The shape of#nbsp;a#nbsp;curved gallery, forming an#nbsp;inner courtyard park space, is#nbsp;a#nbsp;natural cinema that sets the mood for intellectual activity.

In#nbsp;our practice, we#nbsp;have encountered this form several times and even visualized an#nbsp;educational center in#nbsp;Nizhny Novgorod with a#nbsp;similar gallery. We#nbsp;will publish it#nbsp;tomorrow.

Based on#nbsp;our subjective statistics, it#nbsp;can be#nbsp;concluded that most such projects are either libraries, scientific centers, or#nbsp;museum-memorial complexes. By#nbsp;the way, the Apple campus designed by#nbsp;Norman Foster is#nbsp;built on#nbsp;the same principle. From all the above, it#nbsp;can be#nbsp;concluded that the form of#nbsp;a#nbsp;cylindrical gallery can serve as#nbsp;a#nbsp;good stimulator of#nbsp;brain activity.

It#nbsp;would be#nbsp;nice to#nbsp;find such an#nbsp;office for ourselves :)
