This project is based on my memory and expectation of an excellent library. If I have to give some key words of the starting point, it would be tranquil, light-hearted, intimacy with trees. The modern library in the university is absolutely not a place only for students to read, but a space they can absorb knowledge by various kinds of way. Therefore, different public space for sharing and activities around a big tree in the central courtyard were designed to create some relaxed environment for learning and rest. That is, what I believe, the beginning of university.
