Biblioteca del Bosque del Conocimiento by studio hinge in India
Studio hinge has completed the Biblioteca del Bosque del Conocimiento (Knowledge Forest Library) in 2023, a 4500 ft² cultural interior in India. Designed by principal architect Pravir Sethi and team member Chintan Zalavadiya, the library reimagines the traditional library as a forest of knowledge, inspired by the adjacent street's foliage canopy. The space evokes the feeling of reading under a tree, fostering community learning. Photographs by Saurabh Suryan document the project.
