This project translates the story of Pinocchio, the adventure of his growth into a sequence of imaginative space, reflecting Pinocchio’s bravery spirits and his learning path for the children visit the library.
The journey begins with a bridge connects to the paper factory which has been convert into a mix-use of library and outdoor exhibition space. visitors will then experience the spirit of adventure through a sequence of homogeneous indoor and outdoor space.
An underground tunnel is designed to anticipate and raise the sense of courage of the visitors when they travel within outdoor and indoor spaces. passing through the tunnel, the second library is a hobbit-alike underground building with entrance and exit on the tufing above.
This project hopes to deliver the message hidden within the story of Pinocchio to the visitors, a journey of growth.
