The library building disappears beneath an elevated park and in the same time it contains a public passage that serves as a monumental umbrella that provides access to different functions such as a library. By elevating the public space onto a rooftop park the passage receives more light and air.
I searched for a topic where I could use most of my knowledge from the previous years of my studies. A project which could challenge me to experiment, search for green solutions in a context of a big metropolis as London. The combination of public functions, questioning the future of libraries and learning more about technologies and our environment spiked my interest.
