Architecture Asia Special Issue - ARCASIA Awards for Architecture 2020

JURY CITATION
The project is very touching with its idea of building a low-cost, mobile, easily constructed
library for children who may not have the chance to read in a bright and proper library like
those in developed regions. The architect worked with NGOs to find a solution to build this
kind of library, not only in terms of design but also in raising a charity activity to get support
from the general society. Although the design is simple, the intention and efforts behind it are
worthwhile to look into. As architects should always play their role actively in the society, cooperating
and negotiating with their clients who may not always be the people with money or
power, but also can be those who may not be able to speak out their voice, the jury would like
to encourage architects to focus more on their social responsibility and their ability to build a
better life for all mankind.
