Rural Library Project Showcases Innovative Design for Rural Revitalization

Guangdong Urban Rural Planning And Design Institute CO,.LTD. has unveiled the Liru and Guo Dali Rural Library project, a pioneering endeavor in the realm of rural public spaces. The project, located in Xitang Village, Dongbei Town, Lianzhou City, Guangdong Province, China, from June 2020 to October 2021, is a testament to the institute's commitment to rural revitalization.

Under the backdrop of rural revitalization, the project embodies a high accessibility space concept, fostering cooperative and collective activities and diversified functions. The design integrates mixed social functions and pursues cultural value within the rural context, emphasizing micro space in rural public spaces.

The project's unique double-enclosure structure, combining overlapped and embedded elements, creates a gray space between indoors and outdoors, enriching spatial experiences and providing passive energy-saving benefits. The use of traditional pottery tiles and Chinese fir strips in the facade reflects the village's culture and history, while the incorporation of local materials weaves a new time-and-space narrative.

The construction of the core public space in the village involved active participation from the government, design team, and villagers, enhancing the villagers' enthusiasm for the project. The space has become a hub for educational history research and has attracted visitors from neighboring areas, contributing to the overall quality of public life in the village.

The Liru and Guo Dali Rural Library project was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2023, recognizing its outstanding and creatively ingenious design that contributes to quality of life improvements.
