Located in the heart of the district of Les Pins, it symbolizes the renewal of the town center. The media library project has a dual façade: a ground floor aligned with the street – exterior wall all in glass – an open invitation to enter, and a floor above comprised of a great undulating veil of white concrete with openings resembling lattice work, the whole expressing movement and lightness in a metaphor for reading.

The transparent base opening onto the square offers pedestrians a clear view of the entrance, the exhibition spaces, the café, and the auditorium, causing the building to emerge from its framework. Depending on the light, on where one is standing, whether it is daytime or nighttime, the building takes on different visages. The children’s section is located on the ground floor, directly linked with the reception area and the open space. Source by Jean-Pierre Lott. Info project http://goo.gl/fMCydc
