Letzten Monat ist in Kisarazu City, Japan, die “Underground Library”, eines von vielen Projekten des Architekten Nakamura und seinem Team, Architektur in die Landschaft einbetten eingeweiht worden (via thisiscolossal.com):
“A radial skylight allows natural light to pour into the otherwise concrete and wood space, along with large glass windows that line the building’s perimeter, showcasing a selection of the 3,000 books on the shelves. Given the location of the library, many of the titles explore the natural world through poetry, art, philosophy, history, and science. Halls wind throughout the circular space and lead to cozy reading rooms, some of which have narrow shelves carved into the walls that hide volumes for surprise discoveries.”
