The structure’s formal bias highlights the functional distribution of the five spaces, form the Card Collections, the Auditorium, and the Forum, to the two levels of the Library.

As if in suspension, this building exudes a lightness that enhances the façade’s white concrete, for which the matrix draws inspiration from the edge of a book.

In addition, as seen from below, avenue Jean Moulin, the building fits discreetly into its surroundings thanks to its “cascading” volumes, which hug the slope, and the superposition of its green roofs.
