RDHA has received an Honourable Mention in the international Young Architects Competition to design the first and largest children’s library inspired by the fairly tale of Pinocchio in the hamlet of Collodi, Italy, the birth place of the creator. The scheme provides space for a children's library, a public exhibition space, and a large auditorium, with the intent to celebrate the story of Pinocchio and a vast collection of fairy tales from the world over. Our design concept promotes the idea of the building as a figure in the landscape, utilizing an organic form that aspires to be a living, breathing, and performative piece of public architecture.
