WUDU BOCHORD, 'The Wooden Library'

Wudu Bochord, also known as ‘The Wooden Library’, Located in Oxford, this project replaces the existing Worcester Street car park with a dynamic multi-purpose library that bridges public and private realms. Designed to serve both the local community and university students, the library offers open public spaces alongside quieter, more secluded study areas. Drawing inspiration from the Tianjin Library’s spatial organisation and the British Library’s rich interior language, the design fosters a sense of openness. The roof structure takes cues from EMBT’s organic train station designs, introducing a sculptural, light filled canopy.

Wudu Bochord is a solution to remove an overly saturated car park with a space which serves both the purpose for the Locals and Students attending there respective university with Educational and versatile facilities.
