General Principles: Studying in a book opened to the sky while resting on the hill of knowledge

A national Library contains country history and knowledge. It is also a place partly opened to every citizen. That is why, it can be one of the democratic symbol of a country.


A library should be a quite place which offers serenity; a place propitious to meditation. The idea is to create a functional space with its own qualities. The building should be expressive and visible in long distance. Once entered inside, visitors need to feel a special space both expressive and zen to study in a unique environment without being disturb.
