The building is in the edge of the narrow park, where one facade faces a plaza between two housing buildings, and the other three are a part of the park. When inside, the building it almost feels like you're still within the park. The library is designed as a labyrinth where a concept of exploration is a part of the physical experience. Circulating thought the library feels free and comfortable, yet all the rooms are carefully placed to enhance each users experience. Jorge Luis Borges’s “Library of Babel”, this library embraces hidden passages for the user to discover, where the hidden spaces within the vaults become individual quiet rooms that completely isolate.
