Bib au Natura, Randers, 2023.
Public Library Satellite.
Randers is an area that, despite its natural beauty and strong community spirit, faces challenges such as limited cultural and educational resources compared to larger cities. However, this creates opportunities for creative projects that enrich local life.
Bib au Natura is a landart project that offers a 1:1 recreation of the Randers Library floor plan in the scenic Nordre Fælled. This unique initiative connects library visitors with the 140-acre natural landscape, blending culture with nature while raising awareness of the library’s offerings.
Libraries play a vital role in fostering curiosity, learning, and community well-being. Evolving from exclusive spaces to inclusive hubs, they now reach diverse audiences. Bib au Natura continues this mission by inviting residents and visitors to experience knowledge and culture in an inspiring, outdoor setting.
