What is a library when 'everywhere is here'?
UPDATE- This thesis won the National Corobrik Architectural Thesis Award 2010. I have made the entire Thesis Document available for download here:
http://www.activeingredient.org/pdf/E... -UPDATE

This architectural animation explores the question of the role of the public library when digital information is everywhere and is everything. What happens to the spaces of books? and how should traditional spaces of information change for a digital world? Even better... in the developing world, how could the library nurture an information society, when people don't have access at home? Could the future of the library be an urban information bar? or a theatre of knowledge? and what does that really mean anyway?
This animation is just an introduction to my architectural masters thesis called EVERYWHERE IS HERE: I will be blogging some random stuff at www.everywhereishere2009.blogspot.com

    "a liability".... my guess is you are not entirely aware of a developing world's needs.

    Great video! Reminds me a bit of Leadbeater's We Think

    While developing countries do most certainly have issues of information access, you may also want to look into how countries like Africa & India are leapfrogging into newer technologies/services like mobile communications--without waiting for landlines. (e.g. Africans/mobiles/banking)

    How do social & political paradigms affect the information needs of a population, and how do libraries as physical & virtual spaces meet those needs.

    And how easy it is to change digital information. How easy it is. Too easy.

    ToxicOdiousOne, your name says it all. You are a blight upon enlightenment. Schools never produce a profit so we should probably close them all too. And how about all those sick and old people, what a liability to the community, right?
