Project: European Library of Information and Culture (BEIC), Porta Vittoria, Milan; Architects: noa* network of architecture
Just as the cover of a book contains a story within, the new European Library in Milan conceals underneath it a green landscape of knowledge available to anyone who wants to grasp it. Imbued with surreal atmospheres of rooftop forests and flying books, the new cultural centre places the visitor in the perfect condition to venture into unknown worlds. The project's starting point was researching into the meaning, usage and features of a 21st-century library. Studio noa* reimagined it as a hub of creativity, aiming to create a stimulating environment for freeing the mind and acquiring new knowledge.
