M13 Central Park East Library
New York / USA, 2010
Description
Atelier Pagnamenta Torriani has completed renovations of school libraries throughout several boroughs of the city. With the aim of spending energy where it matters, the firm has put a good deal of time into public schools in order to provide quality for those who can benefit the most.
The libraries are conceived as friendly oases within these institutional buildings, specific to each school. Once built, they soon become a living room used by the whole school.
The Central Park East library serves both High School and Middle School students. The reading area can morph into a classroom with an interactive whiteboard. Furnished with ergonomic seating and modular light tables, the space can be organized to fit multiple configurations for parent or teacher meetings. The media area is defined as a bright ribbon with motivational signage, drawing students.
