4.Buildings

 * A consistent feature that can be easily found from the exterior to the interior of the Uijeongbu Art Library is its numerous curves. The condensation of this curvaceous beauty is the central circular staircase that you encounter as soon as you enter the lobby. The staircase, which connects all the spaces in the library, has a whirlwind spiral shape. The staircase is a combination of various curves inside the building, creating the impression of flowing waves. Each floor also used as many curves as possible to create a free and creative atmosphere that fits the concept of an art library. The data reading space, exhibition space, and community space are not divided into closed spaces, so activities can be shared within each space.https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/011/0003828100
