YMKC
Yorck multimodales Wissenszentrum.
YMKC Yorck multimodal knowledge center. Our experience of knowledge
is in big changes. From a pure storage function, the library became
a tool of knowledge and communication. the library of tomorrow will
be a knowledge filter and a creation place. Libraries and librarians
will be a warranty of high quality information.
The
Yorckbridge are working like a fence, between Schöneberg and
Kreuzberg. Actually there are just a few peoples crossing the whole
street. The north side is the most used due to the high density of
opened transports. The entries to the park will reconnect the
peaceful park and the dense street and dynamics the actually
unfriendly passage. YMKC is working like a node in the intersection
of totally variety of streams. Central, the YMKC doesn't deal with
the past. A signal for one of the biggest parks in Berlin. A signal
for the visibility of knowledge access in Berlin. YMKC is a
juxtaposition of three elements. The shell contains all the
techniques, the box concentrate the knowledge and the main space,
constitution of free space and terraces, is teeming of life. Each
function has it own "microcosm". Each microcosm is a space and a
sensation.
We want a compact,
dense and central library. The path between one book and the other
should be as short as possible. From the dense book core, at each
moment you can reach a reading terrace. Each terrace proposes a
different experience of reading. The availability of books has a
degradation intensity. From the magazine shelves in the cafe to the
non public storage, you go through a children library, the main
library, reading areas, a media library, working areas, a restricted
access storage area. Creation will take place in workshops, theatres
and long time artist residences.
Passing the street, YMKC is above you, static, dense, monolithic.
Arriving park side, you are attracted by pure material. The first
sensation is this rough surface, beaten by the rain and the wind,
changing his face trough the season. The inner space is minimalist
and the light bring a sensation of cathedral. Going up you discover
the live on each place, the building like an anthill. Navigating
through the ambiances to taste each space qualities, discovering new
spaces, sensations will surprise at any moment. YMKC is like a rock
above a valley, a precariously static equilibrium. No "connection"
to the ground, overdraw and cantilever the street and the park
entries. You can feel the tension at the crossing of box and ground.
The microcosms are anchored like birds nest.
