The Archive Series by David Garcia Studio, Denmark is a collection of pieces that investigate space and books and the traditional relationships that humans have to books.

Archive I is a weight balance library, the readers chair is elevated in proportion to the amount of books in the shelves.

Archive II is a circular library for the nomad book collector, allowing the user to step inside, and walk away with half a ton of books.

Archive III is a censored book stand, the books close suddenly if anyone approaches the reading stand.

Archive IV challenges space and weight, by hanging from the ceiling. a wooden cylinder, 3 meter in diameter and 3.5 meter high, suspended from above, serves as a sitting area and as an archive for books and music in its inside. the visitor encounters a quiet space for conversation, and in the center a rope ladder takes the curious to a level above, a micro lounge room, where one can look out into the crowd. From the outside, the introvert character of the structure hides the human body, only revealing feet at floor level, and the heads of visitors that climb to the top. More information here.
