SETUBAL PUBLIC LIBRARY
A proposal based on concepts that favour a social architecture, embodied in a seductive shape, yet responding effectively to the functional requirements. The concept is developed with the purpose of controlling the external environmental conditions in order to manipulate the internal space.
It is an introspective system, developed around a central courtyard, as indeed occurs in many examples in the history of architecture, serving a purpose of reflective internalization and privacy. It is a way to focus the architecture in itself, like the act of assimilating knowledge.
