사유의 누적, 기록의 순환

Accumulation of Considerations, Circulation of Recordings

8

인류는 기록의 동물이다. 인류의 문명은 각종 신변잡기들을 기록하는 활동과 분리하여 고려될 수 없다. 그것은 역사가 성 립하는 과정이요, 공동체가 존립하는 근거이자 인간 실존의 통시적 흐름을 증명하는 수단이다. 우리들의 행위의 근본적 기반은 기록들을 통해 유형화된 지식이며, 동굴 벽화에서부터 점토판, 파피루스, 활자, 종이, 그리고 오늘날의 디지털 요소까 지 기록 매체의 발전은 이러한 기록의 중요성을 방증한다.

기록은 다른 기록들과 분리되어 독자적으로 옹립하지 않는 다. 한 기록은 다른 기록을 생성하는 기제이며, 그 주체는 인간 이다. 인간은 기존의 기록들을 활용하여 새로운 지식을 생산 해냈고, 그렇게 만들어진 기록들은 인간 문명의 바탕이 됨과 동시에 다시 새로운 기록들을 재생산하기 위한 기반이 되어 왔다. 결국 지식과 정보의 생산과정은 하나의 연결고리를 이 루고 있으며, 그것은 문화적 진보의 이룩이 가능토록 한 원동 력이다. 이 순환의 과정 속에서 기록들을 보관하고 열람할 수 있는 공간인 도서관의 등장은 인류 역사에 있어서 필연적이었다. 시대를 막론하고 도서관은 "인류의 지식 유산"으로 호명되며 사회에서 중요한 지위를 점하고 있었고, 그것의 상태-장서 수 량과 질-은 그 공동체의 수준을 가늠할 수 있는 척도로 작용하 였다. 이는 도서관이 1차적으로 지식을 보관하는 단순한 창고 로써의, 지식과 이용자를 매개하는 공간적 기능을 넘어 한 공 동체의 "지적 상징"으로서의 지위도 갖추고 있었다는 것을 보 여준다.

Human beings are born for recording. The civilization and activities for recordings cannot be considered in separately.

This is a process that the history is established, at the same time, the evidence for existence of community and human.

The fundamental base of our behavior is the knowledges that was categorized through recordings, and the development of the media-from fresco, a clay tablet, a papyrus, type, paper, to digital elements-throw a sidelight on the importance of recordings.

One recording ais not exist independently without other recordings. One of them is mechanism for producing other recordings, and the subject is human. They have produced new knowledges with utilizing the existing recordings, and the resultant have become a base not only for civilization but also producing new things. Eventually, sequence of production of knowledges and information make one connection like ring, and it is the impetus that occur the cultural improvement.

In this sequence, the appearance of LIBRARY where people can keep and browse the recordings is an inevitable consequence. Regardless of the period, library was called as “the intellectual legacy” and keep the important status in the society, and the quality and quantity of books were regard as the criteria of the level of the community. It shows that library was not only just stores, but also the “intellectual symbol” in the community.

그러나 이러한 도서관의 모습은 점점 옛 말이 되어가고 있 다. -기록 매체의 발전에 비해, 도서관이 보관하는 기록의 형태 는 한정적이다. 또한 오늘날 다양한 미디어의 발전은 많은 사 람들이 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않으며 정보에 접근할 수 있 는 기회를 제공하며, 이는 곧 기존의 정보 창고였던 도서관의 존재 당위에 대한 지적으로 이어진다. 이렇게 찾는 사람이 현 저히 줄어든 도서관은 매개의 공간으로서의 의미도, 지적 상 징으로서의 지위도 서서히 잃어간다. 오늘날 도서관은 새로운 모습을 필요로 한다.

다시 처음으로 돌아와 지식이 생산되는 과정을 상기해보자. 인간이 지식의 생산자라는 말이 무색하게 소수의 엘리트들만 이 주체의 위치를 독점하고 있던 과거와는 달리, 오늘날에는 원하는 누구나 그 주체임을 선언할 수 있다. 기술이 발전이 성 취한 정보접근장벽의 완화로 인해 현대의 인류에게 더 이상 " 도서관"이라는 공간은 "정보의 재생산"을 위해 필수적으로 거 쳐야 하는 장소가 아니게 되었다. 대신 "도시"라는 파편화된 장소는 이들에게 다른 장소적인 구속으로 작용한다. 현대의 도시는 인간들에게 사유와 창작을 할 장소를 앗아갔다. 이제 그들에게 필요한 것은 "기록들의 창고"가 아닌 습득한 지식을 활용하고 그것을 바탕으로 새로운 지식을 창조해내는 장소이 다. 이러한 요청에 따라 도서관은 이제 "기록들의 창고"로서 정 적인 공간이 아닌 "지식의 재생산이 되는 과정"이 담긴 동적인 공간으로의 변화를 꾀하며, "지적 상징"이라는 기념비적인 역 할 역시 그 지식의 순환 현상이 실제화된, 더 가시적인 모습으 로의 상징성을 부여받는다. 이렇게 서로의 요구가 부합한 새 로운 도서관의 모습은 누적-활용-창작, 다시 누적으로 이어져 끊임없이 순환하는 연결고리가 되고 그로 인해 일어나는 인간 들의 행위를 담아낼 것이다.

However, this kind of library is obsolete today-compared to the development of recording medias, the type of recordings kept in library is limited. Also, the development of the various media provides the chance to many people for accessing the information without an issue about time and place, and it bring the indicating the problem of the necessity of library.

Therefore, library which has less people than ever is losing both the meaning of the place as medium, and the symbol as an intellectual community.

The library in today needs new phase.

Let’s go back to first and remind the process of knowledge production. The past when only small group of people possess exclusively a subject as producers, today anyone can declare themselves as the subject. Due to the weakened information barrier achieved by the development of technology, the LIBRARY is not mandatory course for “reproducing the information” anymore. Instead, the cities of today act as another barrier. It eliminates the place for considering and creating for people. Now, what they need is not “the storage of knowledge” but the places for utilizing the knowledge and creating new things based on it.

With this requirement, LIBRARY is changed from “the storage of knowledge” as a static space to “the process of reproducing of knowledges” as a kinetic space. The monumental part as a “intellectual symbol” is also charged with a more visualized role, that is realized. Now, the new phase of LIBRARY is the loop status, accumulation-utilizationcreation, and express the behavior of people occurred by it.

BACKGROUND & CONCEPT

17

According to the development of technology, the media for information storage was segmented in various way. Especailly, the development of internet led the rapid supply of e-book. 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.

Some of libraries already has been changed with the requirements. For example, Dakeo Library(Japan) set as a ragional famous spot by combining bookstore and cafe, although it is the public library. Seattle Library by OMA suggested the vision of future library with possibility of extension through module structure, and consideration about the chance of evolution by development of technology. In the case of Korea, COEX Starfield Library and Hyundai Card Design/Music Library received attention. However, former case was criticized because of unefficient space with nominal function compare the its luxury face.

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 way). The new information as resultants would be accumulated in the library again, and invent loop delivered next generation.

We define this sequence as "accumulating considerations : circulating recordings", and divide this loop in three part; accumulation, utilization, creation. In this library, the boundary between creators and consumers, the printed information and unprinted information becomes loosen.

Variation of usual activities like making film by inspiration from books, making game by inspiration from movies would propose new aim of library in the future.

ACCUMULATION

27

The accumulation part is similar to original functions, the point of stacking information. However, it is different that it has not closed circulation but opened to other parts that makes loop in total.

Furthermore, the types of information get diversity; not only book, but also music, performance, exhibition, video. Therefore, this part reflect the way how to these kinds of information materialized-theatre, showroom, gallery, audiovisual room-in the stereotomical shape which shows the accumulation in basic way, but has inner power.

UTILIZATION

33

The utilization part is the space responsible for the cognitive acceptance phase, which is the core of reading or information transfer. In addition to the reading room that the traditional library includes, this section consists of a braille reading room where braille books are expanded to the dimension of space, and a greenhouse reminiscent of a walk in the forest. A series of processes that begin in a traditional reading room and end in a forested greenhouse not only helps people acquire knowledge but also to embody it.

34

Braille books are losing their status due to the appearance of audio books. The Braille Reading Room presented here tells readers who can read Braille so that they can read four different endings on the wall depending on which path they choose as an interactive contents-interactive architecture. On the other hand, it also encourages people without visual impairment to experience Braille in total darkness as part of their spatial experience.

CREATION

41

The creation part is place for producing new knowledges based on utilized accumulation.

Translated information through utilization session would be reinterpreted into new things, and this process is supported by various programme; makerspace, practice room, recording room, computer workshop space, writing room. The resultants from creation are moved to accumulation part, and it would be base for new circulation of knowledge.

42

Various inspiration accumulated in the utilization part is realized in the creation part.

Accordingly, it could be expressed in various media; Adapted books, goods design and production, performance, video recording, application development, etc. The various types of recordings produced in the creation part are moved to the accumulation part in the loop system, waiting for the new recordings to be supported.
