This contemporary library, set in a Madrid suburb, serves as a cultural hub for all the local residents. Buildings provide for demographic exclusivity by age, a careful massing strategy both separating them with interposed terraces but keeping them within sight of each other. Each mass connects with others at certain points, providing common areas for cross-circulation.
Differing heights and scales provoke a feeling of intrigue and surprise as you move through the spaces, with contrasts provided in the various interstitial spaces created where the masses interlock.
