The library's image, it's close to an immaterial artfact, is obtained by the overlap and contrast between planes of high visual and light permeability and porous and opaque surfaces. The systems that make up the perforations of the facades and coverage, associated with the sequence of planes of glass, gives complexity to the views and perspectives that overlap the experience of the new building to the natural and urban values of the place.
