LES JARDINS DU LIVRE | BIRD'S-EYE VIEW
Competition for the roof gardens of the university library in Esch-sur-Alzette 2013

The aim of the competition was to design 3 roof gardens for the University Library building. The idea of a project 'Les Jardins du Livres' (The Garden of Books) takes inspiration from the form of a book with outspread pages. 'The books' play a role of flower beds, which grow between trees of a little forest designed on the roof gardens.
Moreover, the walls of these structures, made from sheets of corten steel, not only evoke the main local industry but also resemble soft wavy lines of pages that have their origin in a library building.
