This book represents a travel proposal for the 'Out of the Bieb' contest. Which contains our strategy and plan to analyse the library of the future; how can the library renew itself and embrace the internet in this period of time?
In this proposal the contest name is extended to 'Out of the Bieb - Into the Wild', due to the fact that we see the internet as a chaos, or wild, and how to learn from it. Therefore the plan was to dive 'Into the Wild' of China; to experience how one finds its way in unknown places. Such as megacities ('Into the Crowd'), spirituality ('Into the Mind'), to find inspiration from nature ('Into the Wild') and finally sharing the experiences ('Into the Room of Requirement') to return 'Into the Bieb' with our story and findings.
