We need a library and a museum, a public building. A building that works from the inside and from the city. A good urban wardrobe. From inside because the order is determined by the path, optimization of the arrangement and the functional diagram. From the city because its shape is constructed by the relationship with the environment and the hierarchy between spaces.
We have proposed a building consisting of different elements overlap. These items usually collected from a library and a museum of Chinese Art: Chinese writing. Therefore we choose the most significant Chinese characters and turn them into program. Each receives a specific program and, in a way, self. Basicly, each of the pieces hosts one of the programs stablished in the regulations of the competition. Outside are presented with a partial individuality, a special treatment of the same material whole. Inside, its size, proportion and arrangement of hits meets this programmatic autonomy. But to overlap each other begin to function as a coordinated, as a library and a museum optimal and operational.
