Library Buildings around the World

hall has a window with curtains so that by some arrangement can bring in daylight. Acoustic is cinema operation priority. At stage
performances used sound system. Skyveamfiets center section can be moved when it is pushed along so that it becomes directly
dørforbindelse between the vestibule and the saddle on the main level.
It is suitable for connection of sound and lighting equipment for performances in the hall.
The interior materials used are sober. Apart from the hall which has a parquet floor, all rooms have vinyl coating on the floor and
painted plates with a distinctive color portions of the walls. Ceilings are generally suspended ceilings.
Turnkey Sandmo & Svenkerud have built the new culture in a turnkey contract for 44 million including changes and tilt transport of
stage equipment.
- Cultural center should be built as an extension to existing buildings, and it had done some preliminary work on and in existing
buildings before construction starts on the culture, says project manager Arne Boe in Sandmo & Svenkerud. These started about 1
May 2009 and includes the closure of the existing escape routes and establishing new ones, so that security and working for them at
all times stayed in the office building were not affected or impaired during construction. This led to a very good cooperation between
the contractor and the neighbors in the office building.
Planning and Logistics
- Challenges in building such a complex building on Svalbard are many, but the two most important is to get control over design and
logistics. Project because the planners must change the way of thinking in terms of time and progress. In Svalbard, we need
engineering materials a minimum of 3-4 months before it physically be performed on site. The reason is that the items to be ordered
and manufactured in Norway or abroad, transported to Bodø and Tromsø to Svalbard. Båtankomster up here, we did not everyday.
Logistics is very important, because we do not have any building trade we can detour back, if we have forgotten something. Once
construction materials are in place, and we've embedded, is not building that much different from the mainland, with the exception
of occasional extreme weather and six months of darkness, he said.
Freezing Plate
Culture is embedded in a freeze plate is one of several foundation methods used here.
- Freezing plate works by "pulling" of the permafrost under the building. When the process is finished, built on massive permafrost
which is a good and stable foundation way
The most commonly used method is piles inserted in the permafrost. Both pelefundamentering and freeze plate is time consuming
and expensive methods compared with traditional foundations on the mainland. In some cases when buildings are listed near the
shoreline where the sea penetrates the ground so that there is no permafrost, buildings' foundations on the strip / dot foundations in
compressed filling, explains Boe. (http://www.bygg.no)

Tønsberg Library is library of Tønsberg and Nøtterøy Municipality and County of Vestfold. The building is located in Tønsberg, the
historical ground of Viking graves and a monastery plants from the early Middle Ages. The ruins of the abbey's walls and outdoor
space is recovered in the library's interior and has been a source of inspiration for design. A continuous, curved forms teglmur
distinguish between open and closed areas, lending library internal functions. The wall shows the monastery's original appraisal of
the sea and framing a "urban" to the main street. Closest to the wall is covered urban space with curved headroom held up by
branched steel columns, with associations to the convent vaults, and trees in a monastery garden that may have been central to the
historic facility. The construction is poured concrete in the wall plates and covers and steel columns and roof. Facades are forblendet
with bricks. Glass Facades against the city is built with braced bearing glass plates without the use of profile systems.
The Tønsberg and Nøtterøy Library is run as a mutual library for the boroughs of Tønsberg and Nøtterøy. The library was founded
in 1909 and moved to this new building in Tønsberg's city centre in 1992. It was built on the site of the ruins of St Olav’s Monastery
and the remains of two viking ship graves, which provides an exiting contrast to the modern technology and architecture of the
building. The fan-shaped glass façade gives the building a fully transparent character. (http://www.mimoa.eu)

Høgskolen i Vestfold, Tønsberg – Norway 2010
Byggherre: Statsbygg Bruker: Høgskolen i Vestfold Byggeår: Ferdig 2010 Areal: Tilbygg 16600 m2 Ombygging 3300 m2
Prosjektet er en følge av beslutningen om å samlokalisere lærerutdanningen til eksisterende bygg på Bakkenteigen. Organiseringen
av anlegget er en videreføring av planprinsipet til eksisterende bygg: parallelle fløyer med mellomliggende glassgater.
Kommunikasjon i hele anlegget styrkes med en tverrgående akse som binder fløyene sammen. Til denne aksen legges også
utadvendte fellesfunksjoner og læringssenteret. I enden av aksen dannes det en godt eksponert inngangshall som tydeliggjør
hovedadkomsten til det samlede anlegget. Se video: http://youtu.be/XaVkgkBXhqs (Lille)
