The library occupies the site entirely from east to west, creating a continous, indoor public space next to the large urban outdoor space on the operaroof. In order to maximize the openness of the Library as an urban public space, a continuation of the street,the project is designed as an inverted traditional library hall. The books of the new Deichmanske Main Library have swapped places with the introverted large open readingrooms surrounded by books of the traditional library. This circle of open space varies related to the surrounding context.
