Bonds between tracks
Place for reading
It is here for a long time, but nobody sees it
Our place is located in the city centre but it is isolated from the movement of it. It was stopped in other time, when the rest of the urbanism has evoluted. It is a boundary inside the city which traces shows its hide history.
Every area is composed by different elements which suggest different action to get better. Some atmospheras will be created in each place and its joint is the main idea of the project.

Bonds together
The pavement fuses together the outside with every element across the tracks and it becomes part of the public space. Every part, its history and location are the essence and the value of the place, needing that bond for its opening to the city.
Connected spaces
The outside tension made by the main entrance to the complex, produce in the nave’s side a connection that will give as a result the entrance to the library. The same as tracks do, this connection will join different spaces from the outside to the inside and the pavement will show it little by little.
Along the walk inside the building, the showed public areas turn into more private spaces. It wil close different static zones and every place will stay united by the pavement. The point were static and dynamic spaces are connected, other spaces are created for closing even more that place.
The ending conecction is between the library and the book store. What makes it, multiplies itself to up, finishing in the most private place at the library. The wood pavement is what guides us to that space and generates new places with more bonds, every time less public.
