Revealing the Public Central Library of Larissa Konstantinos Koumas
Central Library of Larissa, 2024
Complete museological, exhibition, and graphic design of the Public Library's permanent collection, aiming to reintroduce its historical and cultural value to the public of Larissa and beyond. The exhibition is structured around key themes such as the history of Thessaly and its Enlightenment thinkers, with emphasis on Konstantinos Koumas, after whom the library is named.
Thematic sections are distinguished through color coding and architectural interventions (e.g., plasterboard structures), while the overall space evokes the atmosphere of a historical printing house. Pages from significant newspapers featuring key moments in the library’s and the city’s history rise from the ceiling, creating an immersive narrative layer.
On the floor, key milestones in the library’s history are translated into a contemporary visual language using vinyl graphics and pictograms, making the experience more accessible and engaging—especially for younger audiences.
