Children's book world - Island in the forest of children's books
"I was born and raised in Osaka and wanted to create a cultural facility that no other prefecture had. I wanted it to be a facility where children grow up together." - Tadao Ando
Architect Tadao Ando designed and donated a children's cultural facility "Children's Book Forest Island" to Osaka City (こども本 no island in the forest), with a total construction area of about 800 square meters and 3 floors. For this reading forest, Tadao Ando created a huge book wall that spans the floors, using surface displays showing book covers throughout the wall. Quotations from the book appear throughout, and in addition to reading tables and chairs, a seat for sitting has been installed on part of the wall. The spacious corridors and staircase spaces are designed to allow children to sit on the floor and form a cave-like reading space. In addition, Tadao Ando used water molding techniques to build a cylindrical space surrounded by 12-meter-high concrete walls on the first floor. You can enjoy the video works transformed from the words in the books as a mechanism to create an encounter between children and books. The Island in the Children's Book Forest was a place created by Tadao Ando in the hope of becoming a children's story sanctuary, guiding children step by step into the world of books and opening up unlimited imagination through books.
