Idea

The function is given: Library.

What is a library? A library is a place where knowledge (mainly in book form) is accumulated and made available to society. However, it is not only a repository of data, but also a place of concentration, silence and exchange of information.

Figuratively speaking, the visitor enters a dark corridor surrounded by knowledge with questions, ignorance and interest. On his tour through the books, he repeatedly has small glimpses of the spacious, illuminated hall in the center. Once there, he can delve into the smaller niches for self-study or to exchange ideas with his fellow human beings in the open center.
