To be inviting is a central aspect forming the architectural concept of the third municipal Mediatheque  opened  in 2017 in Tbilisi Georgia.

Building is  located in the center of  the park, in the district where the housing blocks  stand  surrounded  by  the  vast and industrial  zones. The  project is aimed to fill the deficit of the cultural and educational  facilities of the area.  The Building  serves as a traditional and a multimedia  library  for children and adults, it has the reading halls, children  play areas,  spaces for the lectures  and various presentations. Mediatheque  is also a venue for conferences, concerts  and exhibitions.

The  architectural  form  can be perceived  as  something, that is divided into two parts and enclosed in a single rectangular  frame.  building is situated at the end of the main pathway of the park, which flows under the fabric  coated  steel  contour, which is cantilevered for  12 meters in front  and  envelopes the dynamic  self standing composition  including the spiral ramp welding with an cylindrical volume of the cafeteria.

However, there is a certain distance till the entrance,  but setting foot  into  the contour already gives an impression of  the  soft  access.  The form of  ramp is derived from the children’s  slide and serves as  a welcoming  gesture for the kids.

Surrounded by the frameless glass, interior is  arranged by the  functional oval rooms, which also hold the structural  load of the second  floor.

Building  also featured the blue  round  courtyard  on the upper floor,  which serves as source of sunlight and is a perfect  place for  events or  reading under the sunlight.
