Gladstone's Living Heritage

UKの歴史ある図書館で、改修と新築の実施コンペ。事前審査で5組が選出される。

Description
We are developing Gladstone's Library in order to promote wider engagement with the liberal values that lay at the heart of Gladstone's life and work and ensure they continue to play a purposeful role in Britain and beyond.
To do so, we need to create a new space complementary to, but quite different from, our Victorian library building. This will be New Hall, a flexible, contemporary space that will enable us to expand our programmes of debates, lectures and events. Using digital technology, we will also be able to extend their reach.
Our aim is to create a visitor experience that will engage and inspire a broader range of audiences. An impressive new space will be dedicated to three defining themes of Gladstone's political career that have exceptional contemporary resonance – human rights and genocide; the evolution of democracy; religious tolerance. These themes will be the focus of a permanent exhibition and will form part of the Library's future work and mission.
Above all else, we wish to popularise – but in no way trivialise – the political, spiritual and cultural values that define the man and his heritage.
