The Challenge
Students are challenged to build their designs for:
How can we design the OBA Next public library in Amsterdam to be a library of the future; as a place for everyone that is dedicated to knowledge, built sustainably, and connected to the nature around it.
To do this, think about what this library will look like inside and outside. The building should connect to the green space and serve as a cultural space for all ages.
About the site
The aim of the new OBA Next library design is to create a beautiful public building that young people in particular are proud of across Amsterdam. The OBA Next library is being built as a place for meeting, inspiration and talent development in a new way.
Get involved
If your design wins, it might become reality! Winning designs will be reviewed by the architect of OBA Next. Who knows, maybe your design will inspire the design of the future library.
The jury of the Minecraft Challenge will choose three winning designs. Finalist teams will win an afternoon for a maximum 6 participants at an OBA Maakplaats. The Maakplaats will be all yours for two hours to make your ideas come to life with 3D printers, a vinyl cutter and a laser cutter. This allows you to print logos on T-shirts, make stickers, and create and print or cut 3D designs.
