The public library was located in the central area of Bucharest on a protected site near two Christian churches of great importance. The objective was to revitalize the area with an urban infill that would bring culture to the forefront. By tackling issues of design and functionality, the project needed to introduce new technology into a restrictive context.
The concept was to occupy the perimeter of the triangular lot, expose the reception and café areas to the church’s’ entrance. By orienting the study areas towards the interior courtyard, on the two adjacent sides of the lot, it expresses the design understanding of the lecture spaces.
