The new central and state library of Berlin is envisioned as the social and cultural centre of the future urban quarter on the margin of the former airfield of Tempelhof airport. The proposal follows the approach of constructing a building that on the one hand works as an urban landmark, and on the other combines high library stay-qualities with a long-term functioning and highly efficient spatial organisation, fulfilling the individual user's practical and logistic demands. In conceiving the library as an immense and complex building in conjunction with a strong exterior form, the design approach also offers a large amount of varying interior spaces.
The rectangular floor plan is based upon a fixed ring of service units, providing ultimate accessibility. Within this ring of vertically and horizontally distributed services, scattered modules of activity are facilitated on widely open interior plateaus. The generously glazed façade will offer astonishing views over the widespread park area of the former airfield.
