Open-Shelf Libraries: Opening Up Bookshelves and Reading Spaces

Design a university library interior in the manner of Wang Chiu-hua, who introduced the open-stack, reader-centred library to Taiwan in place of the closed counter-and-warehouse model, putting shelves, seats and daylight in one continuous room. Compose an open floor where low timber stacks and reading tables share the same space with no barrier or issue desk between them, carrels at the daylit perimeter, a soft carpeted floor, warm timber and off-white surfaces, students browsing freely among the shelves, even daylight from a clerestory, wide eye-level view, 24mm lens, interior photography, ultra photorealistic, 8K
