Abstract
Specialet undersøger, hvordan arkitektur kan fremme social og miljømæssig bæredygtighed gennem et forslag til et børnebibliotek i Chwaliszewo, en bydel i Poznań, Polen. Som kulturbygning kan et bibliotek styrke lokale fællesskaber og vække børns nysgerrighed—særligt når det er designet med brugernes behov i centrum. Forslaget bygger på undersøgelser af stedet, det lokale klima og behovene hos børn og beboere. Der er arbejdet med en integreret designproces, dvs. at idéen testes og forfines, mens flere forhold vurderes samtidig: den bymæssige kontekst (hvordan bygningen passer ind i kvarteret), funktioner (hvilke rum der er brug for, og hvordan de fungerer sammen), indeklima (lys, luft, akustik og komfort) og energi (at reducere forbruget og øge effektiviteten). Gennem denne proces er designet udviklet og optimeret. Resultatet er et bæredygtigt bibliotekskoncept formet af stedet og klimaet, med rum tilpasset forskellige aldre og aktiviteter samt indbydende områder, der gør biblioteket til et socialt samlingspunkt for nabolaget.
This thesis explores how architecture can promote social and environmental sustainability by proposing a children’s library in Chwaliszewo, a district of Poznań, Poland. As a cultural building, a library can strengthen local communities and spark children’s curiosity—especially when it is designed around users’ needs. The proposal is grounded in research on the site, the local climate, and the needs of children and residents. An integrated design process was used, meaning the concept was tested and refined while considering several factors at the same time: the urban context (how the building fits into the neighborhood), functions (what spaces are needed and how they work together), the indoor environment (light, air, acoustics, and overall comfort), and energy performance (reducing energy use and improving efficiency). Through this process, the design was developed and optimized. The result is a sustainable library concept shaped by the site and climate, with spaces tailored to different ages and activities and welcoming areas that make the library a social hub for the neighborhood.
