VERTICAL ARCHIVE
Geneve library extension project proposes a vertical books and archive storage: a solution to limit underground volume. In addition, storage is mechanized and automated to optimize space and built volume.
The tower is built entirely of wood, covered with solar panels, and finished with a surface treatment to reflect the vegetation and make it appear lighter.
The ground floor is completely open and features a café, at 17.5m above ground level is a reading terrace and at 52.5m stands a seminar room offering a view of the entire city.
