State Library

This project called 'State Library', was made at the third year of the university, in 2006.
The main point was to decide in which way the building could be situated in the site. This area is surrounded by small buildings which was helpful to figure the situation out. The library has an extensive scheme which was properly solved on the underground level. The reason to it was that I could have the whole free ground level for other uses. Furthermore, people have the free walk path to move from one block to other. This transparency is clearly seen from the inside the library.There is only one building
on the ground floor for specific uses like: the restricted Collection Room; the room Restoration and the room Staff. The basement has a parking and a restaurant, besides the library.
