Nuova Biblioteca Briosco | twosix

The site’s orography is the base of project concept; in fact it is characterized by two different altitudes with two parks which mainly need a connection between them. The solution is the building; which is, beside his primary function like a library, an element of attraction and connection. The project advances different no invasive volumes connected by a transversal hypogeal one. The main volumes, accommodating the hall, the library, the game room and the multimedia area, follow the ground’s course and only a part of them escape from the gradient like are supported on it without hiding the visual of the alpines chalet. This project choice is the consequence of conserving the harmony of the landscape that is an important site’s characteristic. In this way it achieved a hypogeal environment with a north-south orientation. Big glass windows, positioned in the better orientations, are sources for the natural illumination, ensuring a less use of the artificial one.
