Library at the City of Students
The Library marks a great location in Tirana and it is now set to become a new centre of social, cultural and daily life for the students and the community nearby and for visitors from all over the city. The building complex accommodates a cultural and community hall, lounge reading areas, cafes, book shop, workshop rooms, book collections and archive, as well as multiple group and quiet study areas. The building comes to life through the dynamism created from the roof which rises from the lower eastern side to the upper western side and from the vault-shaped opening in the ground floor which integrates the volume with the surrounding landscape, becoming becoming a landmark of Tirana, set to vitalize the neighbourhood, ensuring that it is a new urban district in its own right.
