Digital utopia has resulted in a drastic decline in reading culture, as a result, public libraries are at a critical juncture. Due to excessive use of the internet and digital devices, the number of readers is drastically declining in public libraries. It's not just reading culture that is at stake, as the readers play a more active and involved role in the community, the decline in the reading population parallels with a greater retreat from participation in civic, cultural, and social life.

The challenge here was to build a compact module of a new age library, where its primary goal is to not only to hold information but rather to connect over information.

The jury for the competition consisted of esteemed designers, professionals and academicians from around the world. The Lead Jurors for the competitions were as follows:

Filippo Gabbiani, Principal Architect & Co-Founder, KOKAISTUDIOS, Shanghai

Eduardo Aizenman, Founder and project director, Aizenman-Arquitectura, Cafebrería El Péndulo, Mexico

Sergio Sánchez Grande, Founder / Principal Architect, MINIMO, Spain
