My Knowledge Space: A New Public Library Prototype for the 21st Century - the New Berlin Library as Prototype
14 May 2011, 9am - 6pm


An ANCB Event in Collaboration with the Central and Regional Library Berlin with Accompanying Thematic Showcase of Student Architecture and Urban Design Proposals

Topic
The City of Berlin is considering to build the new Berlin Library on the former Tempelhof airport field (now Tempelhofer Freiheit). Before the competition and planning phase kicks off, ANCB in collaboration with the Central and Regional Library Berlin want to explore the roles, tasks and functions of the public library of the 21st century as well as the demands it has to meet. The symposium will address significant aspects in an intensive, transdisciplinary discussion. International experts from the fields of library, architecture, sociology, culture, industry and politics will discuss the following three questions and engage the Berlin public into a debate about this 21st century public library - the city's new Knowledge Space.
