El papel que las bibliotecas desempeƱan en la actualidad ha sido cuestionado en
numerosas ocasiones, a causa de la revoluciĆ³n tecnolĆ³gica a la que se estĆ” asistiendo,
la cual pondrĆa en amenaza el papel bĆ”sico que hasta ahora tenĆan Ć©stas. Pero la
realidad es que se observa una tendencia en la que cada vez se construyen mƔs
bibliotecas y mĆ”s complejas. Por lo que se torna harto interesante descubrir hacia dĆ³nde
camina la arquitectura en este sentido.
A este respecto, se advierte un cambio de paradigma respecto al papel que juega la
biblioteca en la actualidad, provocando a su vez una respuesta en cuanto a la
arquitectura bibliotecaria. Los cambios sociales que se han producido de la mano del
desarrollo de la tecnologĆa, se han visto implicados de forma directa e indirecta en este
cambio de paradigma, presentando los desafĆos a los que se enfrenta la arquitectura
actual.
Debido a la incertidumbre que se presenta de cara a este nuevo periodo, en base a los
constantes cambios que se manifiestan debido a la rĆ”pida evoluciĆ³n que sufren las
nuevas tecnologĆas, y de cara a las demandas de esta nueva sociedad, se torna
fundamental la aplicaciĆ³n del principio de la flexibilidad en los nuevos espacios
bibliotecarios, pero se rehĆŗye de la clĆ”sica soluciĆ³n espacial donde el espacio se vuelve
uniforme, sin apenas expresiĆ³n plĆ”stica ni variedad.
Por otro lado, se presentan los temidos efectos que la globalizaciĆ³n tiene sobre el planeta,
a cualquier escala, y que parecen llevar todo hacia una tendencia universalista. Por lo
que se hace interesante el estudio de la arquitectura bibliotecaria desde diferentes
Ć³pticas a nivel cultural, tomando como referencia la cultura occidental, debido a su
importante papel de cara al origen de este proceso, asĆ como la cultura oriental, definida
prĆ”cticamente como la antĆtesis de Ć©sta.
Sobre la base de lo planteado, la presente investigaciĆ³n, a modo de primera toma de
contacto, ha pretendido abrir un campo de estudio a travƩs del cual se puedan
identificar nuevas formas de aplicar la flexibilidad en los espacios bibliotecarios, de cara
a que Ʃstos no se vuelvan caducos en cuanto al diseƱo que presentan, ademƔs de poner
el causa los procesos de globalizaciĆ³n que pretenden reducir la realidad actual, en base
a procesos de homogeneizaciĆ³n; por lo que se busca identificar procesos de hibridaciĆ³n
en la arquitectura actual, a travƩs de los cuales poder identificar si se producen
diferencias entre las distintas culturas, valorando en quƩ medida se incluyen las cuestiones
de carƔcter local en las obras que representan cada una de estas culturas.
A travĆ©s de la metodologĆa empleada, basada en los estudios de caso individual y en el
anĆ”lisis comparativo de Ć©stos, se han podido evidenciar lĆneas que muestran esa
evoluciĆ³n de la arquitectura actual, en la que se torna evidente la importancia que tiene
la flexibilidad en el nuevo escenario, asĆ como la posibilidad de aplicarla de diversa
manera, ademĆ”s de reconocerse los mencionados procesos de hibridaciĆ³n, permitiendo
establecer diferencias entre las dos culturas, desmontando asĆ la ambiciosa visiĆ³n de
carĆ”cter unilateral que se tenĆa sobre la globalizaciĆ³n.
Abstract: The role played by libraries nowadays has been frequently questioned in view of the technological revolution currently underway, which would seem to threaten the basic function libraries had up until now. However, what we are actually seeing is a trend in which a growing number of increasingly complex libraries are being built. Therefore, it is of interest to take a look at where architecture in this sector is heading. The truth is, a change can be observed in what is considered to be the model role of libraries today, which in turn leads to a different response in terms of their architecture. The social changes that have taken place as a result of developments in technology have played both a direct and indirect role in such a change of model and represent the challenges facing current architecture. Given the uncertainty that exists these days due to the constant changes occurring as a result of the rapid evolution of new technologies and of societyās new demands, it has become essential to build a flexibility component into all new library design concepts, while shying away from the classic solution of uniform spaces with little plastic variety or expression. On the other hand, the effects of globalisation present at all scales of life on this planet inevitably arise and tend to drive everything towards a common universality. So it is interesting to study the architecture of libraries from different cultural perspectives, firstly in Western culture, given the important role it has played in the origin of this process, and subsequently from the viewpoint of Oriental culture, practically defined as the antithesis of the former. On the basis of the above premises, this paper seeks to stand as the initial contact in a line of research that identifies new ways of applying flexibility into the architecture of libraries so that they do not become obsolete in terms of their design, as well as identifying the globalisation processes that seek to reduce current reality through homogenisation procedures. Therefore, it aims to identify hybridisation processes in current architecture that serve to ascertain whether distinctions occur between different cultures and to assess the extent to which local issues find a place in iconic buildings representing each of those cultures. By means of the methodology used, based on individual case studies and comparative analysis of each, certain traits have been revealed that show an evolution in contemporary architecture, in which greater importance is given in this new scenario to flexibility and the ability to apply it in different ways, as well as acknowledging the aforementioned hybridization processes, enabling differences between the two cultures to be identified and thus any narrow-minded view of globalization as a unilateral phenomenon to be dismantled.
