Magazin der Badischen Landesbibliothek Karlsruhe
Since the year 2000 the capacity of the Badische Landesbibliothek, situated in Karlsruhe downtown, is almost exhausted. Nowadays, the act of out-sourcing it's media into branches and remote offices should face the issue of the library's congestion. But in terms of sustainability this ain't the right solution. Merging all collections, a new depot building has to be built.
The capacity of this new storage is able to contain book collections until the year 2025 and furthermore it is completely expandable to guarantee a persistent archiving of books.
The new storage building will be set up in an industrial area in the periphery of Karlsruhe, which enables a perfect accessability and contains 600m² for delivery, offices and technical supplies and furthermore 2750m² for the actual storage area.
The out sourcing of the books leads to a seperation of the main library and the storage.
Due to the climatic requirements in the storage facilities, such as control of humidity and chastity, the storage needs a special air conditioning.
The monofunctional building should offer a perfect protection and shelter of the goods stocked.
The internal structure provides a seperation of the actual storage and the office facilities to guarantee a strict seperation of the different challenges for air, light and heating.
The book depot is situated in a high rise building, while the administrative building is located in the basement, reachable by an access ramp.
As a consequence the image of a silo architcture occurs and becomes a a flagship in it's hetergeneous surrounding.
