A neighbourhood library in Barcelona; a concept rooted in the most important ingredient of Spanish outdoor public space - the plaza. Vast numbers of plazas are distributed all across the city, each next different from the previous; each made up of a multitude of components that make them successful (or not) public spaces - location, history, sunlight, greenery, commodities, ease of access, etc.
These components and their relationship will be transformed and used in the organizational and spatial divisions of the library: first, a rough stacking of plazas into functional zones and, second, a fragmentation of each zone into particular spaces of different characters.
