Biblioteca Gabriel García Márquez

Catalunya

A striking district library, presented as a sculptural volume inspired by stacked blocks of books, set upon a square. The entrance archway extends the neighbourhood's pedestrian and cultural axis. The facility has 4,294 m2 spread over 5 floors. The structure is a hybrid of laminated and cross-laminated timber and steel, maximising structural efficiency. Configured in three cores connected with lattice beams.
