BRIEF:

Archiol Competitions has organized this first edition of the Granthagara - Library design competition to understand the possibilities of library design in rural areas.

"I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.
– Tadao Ando

Education helps in acquiring knowledge, which helps in personal growth, mental and emotional. Education is important in life as it helps everyone develop a good perspective of looking at the world and our society. It helps us to get new ideas and explore new ideas. Despite its importance, education is still inaccessible in remote locations around the world. The first step to education is reading and libraries are the resources of books, which encourage reading and acquiring knowledge. Libraries provide areas for studying with study materials.
This competition aims to bring forward design ideas for libraries in rural areas. A place where children and adults can access knowledge. A place that promotes self-learning and provides a growth opportunity for rural communities.

"To create, one must first question everything."
-Eileen Gray
