Studio Weave Adds a Wooden Space to the Lea Bridge Library
Amy Duong — November 7, 2022 — Art & Design
Architecture company Studio Weave introduces its new work, which is a community center that is lined with wooden details at the Lea Bridge Library located in East London. It is detailed with a red-concrete colonnade that nods to the classic Grade II-listed redbrick building. The library was built in 1905 in an Edwardian style and has a large green space entitled Friendship Gardens.
This is actually what the community wing will overlook when glancing through a glazed facade. Director Je Ahn states, "We envisaged the extension as a hybridized public space; a new town hall with wider opportunities for citizens to participate more fully in public life [...] Hybridised public spaces combine and maximize collective resources, and are unexpected engine rooms for community connection."
