"When the designer envisioned this futuristic public library, the intent was not simply to create a building, but to craft a living, breathing celebration of books. More than a repository of knowledge, this space was imagined as an environment that inspires awe, invites curiosity, and offers tranquility, a true sanctuary for the mind. The concept takes the instantly recognizable form of an open book, a symbol as timeless as the act of reading itself."
"This was no accidental metaphor; the open book represents the openness of sharing knowledge, the free flow of ideas, and the boundless possibilities that learning provides. Its sweeping, curved forms mimic the gentle turning of pages in motion, while illuminated lines on the roof suggest written text, creating the illusion that the story comes alive even from a distance. Designer: Thilina Liyanage"
The library is conceived as a living celebration of books, designed to inspire awe, invite curiosity, and provide tranquility as a sanctuary for the mind. The form resembles an open book, symbolizing sharing knowledge, free flow of ideas, and boundless learning possibilities. Sweeping curved forms mimic turning pages while illuminated roof lines suggest written text visible from a distance. A bold cantilever concrete ground floor creates a weightless, modern elegance and opens expansive interior spaces. Each floor functions as a “page” with balcony spaces and outdoor lounge areas, while subtle roof openings admit daylight and preserve a striking exterior.
