The goal of the project author is to sustainably improve the urban situation through urban repair by precisely placing a well-proportioned keystone. The character of the historically grown town with its narrowing and widening street space should be anticipated and further developed. The construction of an institution like a state library holds the potential – indeed the obligation – to create an impulse for public space.
The world of libraries is undergoing a comprehensive transformation. Analog media are increasingly being replaced by digital formats, and the library of the future is evolving into a place for gathering and social interaction. In the digital age, the library fulfills essential societal functions, such as providing unrestricted access to education for all social classes. The innovative and highly flexible structure of the new building offers an architectural response to this transformation process. The robust and formally striking structure is equipped to meet the demands of the future, serving as an expression of this change.·
