The third chapter includes the analysis of the construction and its program in the current context, recognising the various rooms that form the Library. It represents both, the open access and the place for the management of this building. It is also a place of different ways of circulation based on plants, cuttings and elevations design. In the end, it is presented a proposal of intervention in the building and in the empty area of the location. It is aimed to create solutions in order to add and improve the existing program, as well as giving a feedback to the restrictions due to lack of space, so this existent heritage can be hosted. |
