The Book Hill is a project about using the book program to connect the surrounding area into a new whole.
THE SITEThe site is characterized by
inaccessible Observatory Hill and the programmatically disfunctional Public Library.
The Observatory Hill is a green inaccessible island perforating the urban fabric. The hill is one of the highest points in the city and has a fantastic view above the Stockholm roofscape. But the steepness of the hill renders the hill top under-used.
The current public library consists of one library occupying four separate buildings. Instead of keeping the outdated annexes, we propose to focus on an extension that programmatically brings the library together into one singular whole.
The key in exploiting the potentials of the Observatory Hill and the Public Library, is to create a functional and programmatic composition that solves the internal book program while connecting to both the Asplund Library and the Observatory Hill.
We propose to organize the book program starting from the street level,
connecting it to the Observatory Hill, thus creating af rooftop park and a transition between the landscape and urban fabric.
