rendering

This new library building design by Akant Tasarim & Restorasyon is desired to be built in addition to Rami Old Military Barracks Restoration Project with a new city museum function which is included in the Istanbul 2010 cultural capital city of Europe program. The Rami Library brings a new perspective to the understanding of librarianship in a national cultural community, and is also totally open to the international community. The building consists of four main parts: library, foyer, event, and auditorium.

LIBRARY: The heart of the library is a Ligthcone in the middle, which is surrounded by two main reading halls and entrance hall in three different floors. A strong visual connnection is created by a big gallery gap which also seperates the library part from other functions in the building. Behind the reading halls 11 floors of bookstock is placed for more than 3 million of books. Beside three main reading halls, special reading areas and rooms for researchers, academicians are also planned and connected to the bookstock with bridges at some points.
