Multimedia Library

Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany

02.2018 - 06.2018

We are in Frankfurt, on the riverside of the Main, in an old industrial neighborhood that is undergoing mutation. The library, which completes the residential and commercial offers in place with its cultural program, is envisioned as an eminently public infrastructure.

The ground floor is conceived as a continuation of the public space, becoming a great urban salon, where the café, the exhibition gallery, and the press corner generate intensity of use.

The multimedia space takes the shape of a spiralling slope that starts its ascension at ground floor, and runs all the way to the top of the building. The users evolve in a continuous space where they come across carrels, shelves full of books, computers, projection rooms, and so on.

A hanging garden, covered by a great greenhouse, marks the end of this journey and offers a calm natural environment in which the users can read or discuss, while enjoying panoramic views of Frankfurt and its surroundings.
