Our competition entry for the National Library combines Knowledge and Landscape into a single structure. Rather than designing another free-standing object building to compete with the adjacent large-scale national monuments, our entry proposal conceives the National Library as a part of surrounding landscape and a foundation of stone steps that resonate with the terraced hills of the city. The outdoor roof terrace is both formal and functional, to reflect the natural terrain and to be used as an outdoor activity space and view platform for the surrounding landscape.
