K B Center Library Building

View of the newly clad portico leading to the courtyard.

The design of the new building establishes a dialogue between the historical context of the site and a contemporary architectural language through its form, which is largely influenced by the physical constrictions of the historical city.

The new building was conceived as 'a large piece of furniture which slides on the courtyard floor', in order to maintain the intimacy of the courtyard and garden.

View of the refurbished green space.

The frameless facade is realized in synthetic wood and glass in order to create a delicate insertion into the urban fabric with neighboring buildings less than five meters away.

The large windows act as program displays allowing for visual connects between the interiors of the library and the refurbished garden space.
