The library as a forum

extends the library as a source. Reading is extended by writing. Writing becomes programming. (The Library is not anymore a place of reading: to receive and to accept knowledge, but a place for critique, information, questions and in last consequence a place to write. Its role has evolved from being the monopolist place for dissemination of knowledge to being a center for critique and discussion in the city. The intense availability of knowledge and information from a multitude of sources is paralleled with means to write back into the collective pool of civilization. The role of the library is to inspire the individual to obtain knowledge and to provide spaces and channels that invite the citizen to express and exchange his personal knowledge base with others, a place to write.

Writing the library

by the public, the library as an open collection receives a new dimension. A condenser of individual writings: ephemeral opinions, prose, verse, manifestoes drive the ever refiguring content of the library and enrich its collection by public contribution. Program of the library is to accommodate new media reacting to the dynamic properties of those. Exigencies are set by exchangeability.
