MASTA

The library of Mannheim is nowadays scattered between several inadequate buildings. The project is located in the very city centre of the square-grid city. The specificity of this place is that only half of the typical Mannheim block is built, offering a nice public square in a city that lacks of qualitative public spaces.

We though the library as a spatial spiral that lifts from the plaza to roll around the central atrium up to the reading garden roof.

I worked mainly on the conception of interior spaces of the project and finally realized the main perspective section of the project.
