Arquitectura bibliotecaria, Diseño de bibliotecas, Innovación, Bibliotecas públicas, Dokk1, Oodi, Deichman Bjørkiva, Biblioteca Gabriel García MárquezResumen
Este artículo intenta identificar innovaciones en el diseño de bibliotecas públicas recientes. Se cuestiona si hay una verdadera innovación en la arquitectura bibliotecaria y su influencia en el servicio y en la comunidad. Para ello se analizan cuatro bibliotecas que han recibido el premio de Biblioteca Pública del Año de la IFLA. Se les aplica un análisis de precedentes gracias a las visitas realizadas a los cuatro centros. Todo ello se apoya en una revisión bibliográfica crítica. Los ejemplos seleccionados son Dokk1, Oodi, Deichman Bjørvika y la Biblioteca Gabriel García Márquez. Aunque con programas diferentes que marcan sus diferencias finales, las cuatro bibliotecas presentan grandes semejanzas en cuanto a su concepción como tercer espacio, su adaptabilidad, diseño participativo, y respeto por el medio ambiente. Se concluye que, aunque las innovaciones individuales que contienen a menudo llevan ya cierta trayectoria, el hecho de reunirlas en un solo lugar, unida a su capacidad de adaptabilidad de los espacios, las convierten en ejemplos de innovación con una fuerte influencia en la comunidad a través de estos servicios. Esta adaptabilidad es la mejor garantía para asumir nuevas innovaciones de forma sencilla.
