Architectural concept of the Library follows a tree. Roots are the funds of knowledge, trunk is two staircases and lifts where moves knowledge between seekers and funds. And crown is the space where seekers improve knowledge into wisdom.
Tallinn University of Technology Library was the biggest designed textile facade (3494m²) in Europe in the beginning of project design. Designed polymer textile works as a title for architectural concept and shades direct sunlight, beeing one of the key elements that helps to keep inner climate energy efficient.
