这座大楼的设计只有一层楼，由两个平行的长卷从地面升起，通过一个内部分配走廊连接起来，上面是图书馆的入口服务。每一卷的重要性取决于它的大小，也取决于它的涂层：在最高贵的阅览室里的石头和在服务量中的白色灰泥。一个宽阔的台阶和一个缓缓的坡道通向图书馆的公共入口的平台，形成一个雕塑集，帮助确定建筑的主要外观。

The building is designed with a single floor, and comprises two parallel long volumes raised from the ground, being articulated through an internal distribution corridor, on top of which lies the entry service of the library. The importance of each one of the volumes is given by its size, but also by its coating: stone in the noblest volume of the reading rooms and white plaster in the service volume. A wide steps and a gentle ramp leading to the platform where lies the public entrance of the library, forms a sculptural set that helps defining the main facade of the building.

该项目的基础是明确和实用的分布，允许用户组织和理解图书馆。体积最大的是公共区域，而较窄的体包含内部服务的所有依赖项。整个系统是完全电脑化的，某些类型的残疾人可以使用。

The project is based on a clear and functional distribution, allowing the library being organized and understood by its users. In the biggest volume are located the public areas, while the narrower body contains all the dependencies of internal services. The whole system is fully computerized and accessible to people with some type of disability.

在窗口中使用的不同尺度也增强了空间层次，标志着成人、儿童和服务空间的不同特征。第一个清楚地看到周围的绿色空间，提供慷慨的南部开口，有效地控制由金属砖-太阳。其余的空间有更准时的窗户，通过调整其大小以适应其活动的性质，从而避免了猛烈的西阳光。一个以锥形天窗的形式穿过屋顶的自然照明系统，补充了传统的照明形式，在建筑物最重要的空间，灯光设置在一整天都在变化。

The spatial hierarchy is also enhanced by the different scales used in windows, marking the different characteristics of the spaces of adults, children, and services. The first clearly looks over the surrounding green space, offering generous south openings that are efficiently controlled by a metallic brise-soleil. The remaining spaces have more punctual windows, avoiding the aggressive west sunlight by adjusting its size to the nature of its activities. A natural lighting system, crossing the roof in the form of conical skylights, complements the more traditional forms of lighting, marking the most important spaces of the building with light sets that vary throughout the day.
