The new library at Vilnius University, designed by R. Paleko ARCH studija, stands among academic buildings in natural surroundings. It is distinguished by its powerful architectural expression and dynamic silhouette. The library consists of three expressively geometric bodies connected by a low glass atrium. The walls covered with light, warm-coloured ceramic appear to be self-contained at first glance, but with the help of glass showcases they look out on to a pine forest, and allow visitors to the library the opportunity to feel the proximity of the trees of in the nearby forest. Expressive interior spaces and temperate colour solutions create a strong emotional sense of place. This building is a contemporary space that is always open to visitors, dedicated to cooperation and the sharing of information. The social character of the building is further enhanced by an inner courtyard and a square with an amphitheatre.
