The PINCH: Library and Community Center in Shuanghe Village, Yunnan
A new library and community center, nicknamed the PINCH, and built after the Shuanghe Village was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 2012 demonstrates the need for community spaces and participatory design in post-disaster landscapes. As part of the rebuilding effort, the government built an open plaza, however it lacked program or activity. In response, the PINCH provides direct access from the houses to the public library and provides meeting spaces, play areas, and reading zones.
