The intervention is located in a destroyed half block on the edge of a large open space. By appropriating its unique party wall and alignments, it becomes an expansion of itself, making a new block reappear bigger and perfectly integrated into the overall plot structure.

If the intention is to promote an architectural action resulting from the "natural evolution" of a particular urban fabric, aside from abstracting its morphology (closed and compact blocks with a strict alignment), we must understand the way in which these blocks are formed, that is, as a sum of volumes (buildings) that, while in plan form can comprise homogeneous groups, in elevation and section are heterogeneous and unarranged. With this intention, the building, whose enormous site is comparable to a block, conceptualises the existing configuration of blocks, appearing horizontally as a compact block while vertically appearing through different prisms, each with physical and technical characteristics defined by functions.

Under this volumetric distribution, this library appears as a centripetal assembly formed by a series of parts and functions revolving around a central core, from which any movement or activity is distributed so that most lighting needs are catered for. This organization leads to an "internalization" of the blocks making up the building, an essential aspect for its proper operation. But this self-enclosed building should also be aware of the setting in which it is located. So, it is understandable that, despite its "internal" organization, it cannot be oblivious to the large adjacent square and must in some way face it. It also has an obligation to open up onto those external settings that deserve to be held in the bosom of a library, in accordance with its quiet and relaxing aesthetic. The result? A building that is asymmetric and centripetal on one side and frontal, horizontal, and stratified on the other, while perfectly articulated from the perspective of urban conceptualization and architectural internalization.
