Tadao Ando Library｜Encounter the poetry of architecture in the interweaving of light and shadow

#Osaka Attractions 📍Location: Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan 📚Library Name: Children's Book Forest Island 🌟Designer: Tadao Ando ✨Recommendation reason: Tadao Ando, ​​a master architect famous for his use of bare concrete and light and shadow, once again demonstrated his profound understanding of space and nature in the design of the Ibaraki City Central Library. The exterior of the library is simple yet powerful, and the exposed concrete walls present a delicate texture under the sun, like a huge work of art. 📸Highlights: * Light and Shadow Corridor: *The most eye-catching feature inside the library is a long light and shadow corridor. Sunlight shines through the skylight on the top, forming mottled light and shadow on the walls and the ground, like a time tunnel leading to the palace of knowledge. * Spiral Staircase: * The spiral staircase in the center of the library is another check-in spot not to be missed. The smooth lines and the interweaving of light and shadow create a dreamy sense of space. * Quiet reading space: **The library has multiple reading areas, each of which is carefully designed to provide readers with a comfortable and quiet reading environment. 💡 Tips * It is recommended to go on a sunny day for better light and shadow effects. * There are other buildings designed by Tadao Ando near the library, which you can check out as well. #TadaoAndo #architecture #library #light and shadow #check-in #travel #Japan
