  INTRODUCTION TO THEAREA OF CONCERN AND CONTEXT • There ares till about 315,000 functioning libraries in the world of which 73% of them are in developing nations and shows a need for learning and reading. • While a research carried out by the US state of Illionois library it shows that almost 55% - 65% of the people around the world still prefer physical books along with a blended mode of reading • The digital age of the 21st century has made way into the mainstream in these times , finding a balanced way of handling the physical world and digital world is challenging and essential especially in terms of BOOKS. This thesis aims in bringing a more innovative and technologically as well as spatially advanced take on the resource centre and libraries seen in the world NEED FOR THE STUDY/PROJECT • In recent time especially after COVID need for shared , community centered spaces are still relevant to connect with others and studies show that it is unlikely to change soon - libraries with blended resource centre offer that space • One may argue that information that is available in books can be found and made available online here , the bigger question of legitimacy remains hence such centres become especialy important to a larger group of researchers and students alike • People are very attached to technology at this age and espaically the younger crowd is seen at the peak of this social behaviour. However on contradicting this thought this age group is seen at height to be the ones who have missed holding a physical copy of a book during the pandemic.

  2) Major concepts Libraryas a space: With the emergence and integration of information technology, many predicted that the library would become obsolete Why would a student or any other reader / researcher want to go to a library in a time where they have the option of accessing information and stories from the comfort of their room / under a shady tree ? Through studies it has been found out that people still prefer reading physical copies of books over ebooks and kindle formats and usage of libraries has expanded dramatically—some - times doubling or even tripling. These increases are particularly common at libraries and institutions that have worked with their architects and planners to anticipate the full impact of the integra - tion of new information technologies throughout their facilities.

  4) National andinternational scenario l45% of people bought a printed book last year, compared to the 23% who bought an e- book. l This suggests that e-books have the potential to complement the publishing industry and function alongside it - rather than replace it. l This chart shows the preference for printed and e-books globally, with e-books being most popular in China. l More than half of Germans bought a printed book in 2020 https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/04/printed-books-vs-e-books-which-is-the-most- popular

  UNDERSTANDING LIBRARY DESIGNTHROUGH IT’S EVOLUTION : When beginning to conceptualize a library for the future, an obvious question shall be answered : If faculty, scholars, and students can now obtain information in any format and access it anywhere ,then why does the library, as a physical place, play such an important role in the renewal and advancement of an institution’s and public’s intellectual life? The library is the only centralized location where new and emerging information technologies can be combined with traditional knowledge resources in a user-focused, service-rich environment that supports today’s social and educational patterns of learning, teaching, and research. Whereas the Internet has tended to isolate people, the library, as a physical place, has done just the opposite. So this leads us to ask who are we serving /user groups : Where are we going to see it : Possible context(s) • Students • researchers • bookcommunity • publishers • local residents • children • • • institutions • public squares/shared spaces • landscaped public spaces • commercial area infills Library as Place:Rethinking Roles,Rethinking Space ; journal by Scott Bennett, Sam Demas, Geoffrey T.

  l Pierrefonds PublicLibrary / Chevalier Morales Architectes + DMA LOCATION :MONTREAL ,CANADA This innovative library embodies an ecosystemic vision where the programs and the relations between them are developed with the same level of attention. It is a true social and information exchange network that takes shape into a complex circulation structure that renews the library experience with each visit. This typology is particularly interesting to the planning of a library. Its numerous spatial qualities are essential components of what is called a “third place”. Users circulating freely, flexibility in spatial organization, multiple movements and experiences are just a few of these advantages.
