Existing buildings are located either side of the library, but natural light floods in through glazed facades that are exposed at the front and shaded behind timber slats at the back.
- 14. Chunky wooden ribs bend around the walls and ceiling of this library in Norwayby Helen & Hard Architects and integrate lighting, bookshelves and seating. The whole library consists of 27 ribs made of prefabricated glue-laminated timber elements and CNC-cut plywood boards. The 27 ribs frame the outline of a double- height hall, which spans the length of the Vennesla Library and Cultural Centre and includes a mezzanine. Glue-laminated timber beams and columns provide the structure for each rib, while air conditioning ducts are sandwiched behind the lighting fixtures and plywood casing. In total, over 450m3 of gluelam wood have been used for the construction alone.
- 17. Stairs lead down to a basement floor containing offices, classrooms and a local history collection. The library is a “low-energy” building, defined as class “A” in the Norwegian energy- use definition system. All ribs, inner and outer walls, elevator shaft, slabs, and partially roof, are made in gluelam wood. All gluelam is exposed on one or both sides.
