Back to Home Accumulation of Considerations, Circulation of Recordings



A development of digital tools that replacing the original recording medias like paper disorganizes the function of "storing" which had been accomplished by library at the past. A method to overcome the crisis of librart and recover its status is acknowledging that the original library were in charge of "accumulation" which is one of the points of "recordings", and getting the diachronic seqeunce by extend the range of a library to "creation" and "utilization". This project is the proposer of the future library: "Library at Night", based on this analysis.


According to the development of technology, the media for information storage was segmented in various ways. Especially, the development of internet led to the rapid supply of e-books. As a result, original library as a physical space lost its status. Therefore, the question "what is the role of library in the future?" should be necessary. If the past library is "standing information well", the library in the future should be "sea of circulated information". If the function of original library was limited to accumulating the information(mainly book type), the coming library should have roles delivering the information which make people create new value(in various ways). The new information as resultants would be accumulated in the library again, and the invental loop delivered to the next generation.
