About Discussions Projects20 Journals22 Publications11

Libraries represent more than book storage. They function as civic anchors, knowledge repositories, and gathering spaces that shape how communities connect and learn. Designers approach libraries as opportunities to reimagine public institutions for contemporary needs.

The community explores diverse library typologies and scales: adaptive reuse projects that transform existing structures, new civic libraries serving entire districts, intimate microlibraries for neighborhood access, and conceptual frameworks exploring how libraries evolve. Projects range from theoretical investigations of library futures to realized buildings that establish new standards for public space.

Interlude is a cultural centre that aims to collect, maintain and promote local traditions and in turn making a sustainable architecture that has almost no environmental impact, thus generating a unique cultural icon in Morocco and North Africa. Just like an interlude in music, this project aims to become a place to have a break from the routine.

Liboratory

Liboratory is an equipment designed to catalyze and federate interactions between its users. A flexible structure capable of accommodating programmatic boxes housing the programmatic components. The library of tomorrow must be able to adapt to the changing needs of residents and cities. Thus, Liboratory presents itself as a toolbox for the cities.

Urban Rainwater Garden Library Design

Based on the concept of the sponge city, this rain garden library is designed to help the ecological transformation of the Suzhou River in Shanghai. The concept of design is urban emotion. It is proposed to influence people's expression of emotions, in order to find new developments and new forms of urban public spaces in the future.

Mokotow District Library

The Mokotow District Library proves to be a place to connect people with zones and accessible information. I am proposing an experience where spaces are well thought out and intuitive, a simplistic design that speaks about the feeling and emotions of an area that can be understood on a universal scale.
