From a Cultural Motif to a Landscape of Learning A two-dimensional cultural motif is transformed into a three-dimensional spatial system. Four elements arranged around a shared centre establish the fundamental organization of the library, while the circular geometry introduces continuity and movement. The identity of the building thus emerges from the transformation of a cultural reference into architecture. Four vertical book towers form the spatial and functional anchors of the library. Visible throughout the building, they store, organize and distribute the collection while integrating elevators and technical infrastructure within their cores. Books are no longer confined to conventional shelves and floors: they become a defining architectural presence and a constant point of orientation. Continuous spiralling paths unfold around the four book towers and connect the different levels of the library. Instead of conventional circulation based on corridors and separated floors, movement becomes an integral part of the spatial experience. Visitors gradually discover the library as they move between books, people, nature and changing views. Circulation and reading merge into one continuous landscape. Reading, study and retreat spaces are integrated directly along the spiralling paths, creating a sequence of different atmospheres rather than isolated reading rooms. The journey through the building becomes a journey through knowledge – inviting visitors to wander, pause, discover and exchange. Between the four book towers, generous multi-storey voids create space for trees and vegetation. These vertical gardens bring nature deep into the heart of the library and accompany visitors throughout the reading landscape. Books and trees become complementary vertical elements: one representing accumulated knowledge, the other growth, change and renewal. The continuous movement of the interior extends into the public realm. An independent path spirals around the building, gradually connecting the surrounding landscape with the roof. Accessible independently from the library, the promenade allows the building to remain part of public life beyond its opening hours and transforms the roof into an elevated civic landscape. The library is conceived not as an enclosed repository of books, but as an open and accessible landscape for knowledge, nature and community. Interior reading landscapes, planted voids, public routes and the accessible roof create different degrees of encounter and retreat. The building becomes a place to read and learn, but equally a place to meet, wander and spend time. Nature is integrated into the spatial experience rather than added as a decorative layer. Trees rise through the multi-storey voids, planted roofs extend the surrounding landscape onto the building, and reading spaces maintain a close relationship with greenery and daylight. The result is a learning environment in which knowledge and nature continuously intersect.
