This Library is an example of the architecture that interacts with space and meanings. It became an urban living room,a welcoming public space, an attraction point and a meeting place for the young generation. The architects were engaged in the renovation, interiors and landscaping of the surrounding area, taking into account many restrictions imposed by the historic building. The new functions and scenarios were carefully embedded into the existing object, finding the balance between “classical” and contemporary. The building has become an inclusive space, well adapted for all ages.
