Caen Alexis de Tocqueville Library

This is a legible and recognizable project, it is an urban forum. A single facade surrounds the perimeter of the building, revealing a transparent horizontal fault, free of any structure.  The reading section of the library becomes a belvedere in the city. The game sought between the full facade and the void of the library expresses very clearly the organization of the building. The intersection of two axes creates a confluence space for readers and disciplines.
