The design for the new library in Buenos Aires features contemporary architecture that combines pure volumes with traditional materials such as brick. Its modular structure creates a strong visual identity, while its volumetric layout generates open spaces that encourage interaction and access to culture.

The adjacent public plaza becomes a meeting point, integrating the library into the urban fabric and offering green areas for visitors to enjoy.

The architectural renderings of this project highlight the interaction between light and the building’s materials, emphasizing the texture of the brick and the transparency of the glass surfaces. Natural light, which penetrates through interior courtyards, has been rendered with a high level of detail, reflecting the warmth and functionality of the space.
