Library Buildings around the World

added value for the environment compared to the current buildings. The height on the side of the district may not exceed three
layers. Only the heads of the three building blocks in five, six and seven were the private apartments realized. The parking for the
nursing home staff and residents of the condominiums will largely take place in parking garages under the buildings.

Meet at the waterfront.
On the former site of the old social-cultural center 'The Confession', 's-Hertogenbosch is currently Lord Hintham realized. The
ambitious project will house a new library, a nursing home with 90 places and a day care, elderly support center with a senior
restaurant, 30 condominiums and 90 assisted living facilities. Much attention is given to the well-being. The atrium consists mainly of
glass and offers wonderful views of the lake. Settle in the central area including the library, the social cultural center and a café.
From the central part there are two branches in homes and offices, focusing on the water.
Continuum Care
Nursing "The Herven" part of Dimen foundation, foundation for providing care and housing services, will disappear from its
current location at the Bruistensingel in 's-Hertogenbosch. The majority of the current capacity of the Herven will be moving to the
neighborhood Bossche Hintham and that become part of a neighborhood-oriented multi-purpose center. The new center in Hintham
fits into the future by the providers in the region is developed. The aims to client-centered care in the district. This means that
providers of care working together to nearly all types of nursing care and to offer based on the needs and wishes of clients. This
cooperation is also called "continuum of care" mentioned. If necessary to treatment, welfare and adapted housing in conjunction
associated with care and nursing.
Initiators and participants
The initiative for the new center was taken by Dimen, together with housing association The Little Meierij from Rosmalen.
Participants in the project next to the house foundation and Dimension: the 's-Hertogenbosch, the Homecare, socio-cultural center,
The Confession, the City Library' s-Hertogenbosch and the province of North Brabant. Content are the welfare clients and
organizations involved in the preparation. All participants strive to the added value of being together under one roof to use for
optimal use of the new center and the best possible service to the district.
Functions and users of the new care center
's new building with the care center is a part, a number of features and users will get. These are (in no particular order):
•Dimen Foundation, users of the care center with 60 beds and 30 beds pg sz including all accompanying support services, such as
offices, occupational and physical therapy, recreational areas, etc.;
•Home care, with an office for the Parent-child care, office and working for Home Care Employees who work in the district, an area
for day care;
•community center "The Confession" by including a large foyer hall, several small rooms and work rooms and kitchen;
•City library 's-Hertogenbosch, branch Hintham ;
•elderly welfare organization that includes an Elderly Centre;
•The Housing Corporation Small Meierij about 30 apartments for people with a zorgindicatie on the third storey of the care center
and an additional rent is about 93 apartments near the nursing home to sell in the private sector.
•a senior restaurant / neighborhood restaurant;
•a garage.
Urban design and public space design in the draft the terms and conditions are included for both buildings and public space around
the buildings. The plan consists of three "flared" building blocks. This sprawling structure provides insight into the pond from the
Iron Child. This urban design creates added value for the environment compared to the current buildings. The height on the side of
the district may not exceed three layers. Only the heads of the three building blocks in five, six and seven were the private
apartments realized. The parking for the nursing home staff and residents of the condominiums will largely take place in parking
garages under the buildings. Also noteworthy is that the zoning boundary of the building mass / volume of solid building
constructed.
Field and relationship with the environment
The concept of community is based on the so-called "finger model" means looking ahead to the water. View of the water quality for
residents. This translates itself in the sided of the blocks. The structure of the long building mass (in relation to construction costs) is
a gallery solution to the most efficient choice. I did not want to front and rear. In the quality plan is an all-round solution driven.
Based on "normal living" there are demands on the environment of the care center. Much attention will be given to the (limited)
space around the care center an attractive garden / park setting to make the local residents but for residents and visitors to the
center inviting character.
A beautiful green setting remains. And free "context-free" site. The Jan Heijmans Flat affects the amount of the complex and
position of block 1 is related.
The interior of the public area done by the municipality. Here is a draft created by a landscape architect. This design supports in
particular the concept of the church, that nature and culture meet.
The current location of the Confession was examined for its historical context. Community has found no reason to histotie of the
place in the urban design to incorporate. But there are many styles designed by us that emanated from (partly) maintain the current
buildings. These are for programmatic and cost reasons dropped.
The design principle
, many different clients that a "compelling" set of requirements have issue. Rarely or never fits together. This means that different
building sizes and stamienmaten needed to assemble this complex. There is a grid design, that all these pages together bind PvE.
Firstly, the architecture affected by the Schedule, on the other hand the concept of structure used to PvE to knead. (Molenaar)

A library whose decor no longer consists of books has been turned into a ‘home’ in which to study. The UvA’s enormous collection of
books is kept in closed repositories, book depots and at various open locations. A growing number of students, anywhere from 1500
to 5000, visit the University Library every day in order to study and pick up their digitally ordered books. Despite plans for a new
building in the future, the university wished to have a new, temporary interior design for the 2,500 sqm space that would comprise
