13. The new library in
Vennesla comprises a
library, a caf辿, meeting
places and administrative
areas, and links and
existing community
house and learning
centre together.
Existing buildings are
located either side of the
library, but natural light
floods in through
glazed facades that are
exposed at the front and
shaded behind timber
slats at the back.
14. Chunky wooden ribs bend around the walls
and ceiling of this library in Norwayby Helen &
Hard Architects and integrate lighting,
bookshelves and seating.
The whole library consists of 27 ribs made of
prefabricated glue-laminated timber elements
and CNC-cut plywood boards.
The 27 ribs frame the outline of a double-
height hall, which spans the length of the
Vennesla Library and Cultural Centre and
includes a mezzanine.
Glue-laminated timber beams and columns
provide the structure for each rib, while
air conditioning ducts are sandwiched behind
the lighting fixtures and plywood casing.
In total, over 450m3 of gluelam wood have
been used for the construction alone.
17. Stairs lead down to a basement floor containing offices, classrooms and a local history
collection.
The library is a low-energy building, defined as class A in the Norwegian energy-
use definition system.
All ribs, inner and outer walls, elevator shaft, slabs, and partially roof, are made in
gluelam wood. All gluelam is exposed on one or both sides.
