The element of the circle is the conceptual link between the heterogenous parts of the existing museum building, a historic convent structure with an extension by Günther Domenig.

A colored band of modular shelves extends the flooring´s raster into the third dimension, creating a spacial framework.

The holistic concept offers different types of creative spaces, including stimulating, collaborating, reflective and playful with customized tactile and spatial qualities, aiming to support the intake of knowledge.

The orange color scheme and abstract nature motifs are inspired by the city´s tradition as a steel and university city.

Martin Lesjak – Design Director, CEO, Co-Founder:
“The library was formerly a space for books, but we wanted to transform it into a space for the community.

Our goal was to create a social hub for the city and the surrounding educational institutions, a place uniting knowledge transfer and social connectivity.

We also strongly believe in the democratic idea of the library, connecting people from all walks of life. It also fits well in our time, focusing on sustainability, health and well-being as well as a rising sharing economy.”
