Beskrivelse
In November 2019, Larvik library sustained heavy damage in a fire. My task investigates the potential of a new library on the existing site.
Larvik is a town and a municipality on the southeast coast of Norway. The town has 25 000 inhabitants. With the old library in ruins, Larvik faces the question of what their next library can be.
It is important to distinguish Larvik as a town and not a city. Suburban, urban and natural elements are weaved together. The town can be read as a hybrid typology that mixes these qualities rather than committing to one.
In Larvik specifically, three elements characterise the town: the house, the terrain and the vegetation. The project investigates how these elements can be incorporated into a library that emphasizes the character of Larvik.
