Bibliotheca Alexandrina – El Shtaby (Egypt)




The light and spacious element is the main attraction with this library, the high ceiling and windows makes it feel like its in another world. By being surrounded by water it gives users a breathtaking view, giving the whole scene a relaxing atmosphere. However, the set up of the reading seats give the it a school/academic feel which takes away from the relaxing atmosphere. Therefor, I'm taking inspiration from the surround area and view rather than the library itself.
