Project guidelines
The library is located along the north side of the site in order to have it facing entirely over the park and receiving ideal indirect light.

The big theatre building is designed within a double courtyard linked by the outlines of the pre-existing industrial complex, the layout of which will be maintained as a memory of this area of the city.
The gallery lobby, public, covered and air-conditioned, crosses the site from east to west along the footprint of the original building and will serve as a strong ordering and connecting element.

The Belvedere occurs as a natural, albeit extraordinary accentuation of the layered, undulating facade of the Library. It leans out in the form of an upward spiralling tower which finishes 40 metres above with a glazed viewing platform.
The vertical connection systems of the Foyer lead to the Open Air Theatre which is located on the roof of the main theatre.The stepped stage is connected by a catwalk bridge to the great Belvedere Terrace above the Library.

The new Public Park is integrated in and connected to the internal accesses of the new Cultural Centre building and is closely linked to the Library building as well as the outside urban context by means of contemplative pathways which gradually draw the visitor into the Park.
