María Lejárraga library is situated in the park of San Sebastián in Ogíjares. In course of time a part of the park was occupied by fairs and partly the natural ground was converted into solid asphalt.
Children’s playground and drying building are situated in the same area. The latter element was chosen for the ideas competition with a double purpose: recover its activity and convert it into a public library.
The project consists of two phases: restoration of the existing drying building and extension of new construction. The important thing about this project is to create perfect atmosphere for the reading leaving a footprint of the drying building. We reproduce the idea of the hanging peppers through the illumination system dropping to the reading desks.
The main reading room represents the space close to nature. It is built of wood elondo and trees of the park serve as curtain in the background. This ephemeral architecture that respects the green space gains numerous lights.
