BUNGOTAKADA PUBLIC LIBRARY
KAZUHIKO MASHIKO ARCHITECT & MIKAMI ATCHITECTS
- Outline
- This library is located in Bungo Takata City, Oita Prefecture. The large tiled roof is designed to harmonize with the storehouses and surrounding houses in the city's Showa-machi district (a town development project initiated by the city to revive the bustling shopping district of Bungo Takata in the 1950s). Columns are installed at 10.18-meter spans directly under the roof beams and in the middle of the beams and eaves beams on the periphery to bear long-term loads. A circulation line through the town is designed to connect the town of Showa on the west side of the Katsura River with the city center where the library and the town hall are located.
