The main aim of the project is to attract more and more people to the library. Transperancy, gardens and journeys are main elements to attract more visitors.
Transperancy: as people outside can see the readers inside the building which creates a kind of interaction which makes people want to experience being there themselves.
Gardens: The building is integrated with the surrounding nature. A courtyard is welcoming all the visitors and roof garden works as open air reading space when weather is warm.
Journey: The act of choosing a book is not just to pick a book. It is a jouney with different feelings on the ramp of knowledge started with a lively environment from the hall, passing through a darker and calmer place to end with the main reading room on three levels with a great view to the sea.
