Description
The building — in the shape of a massive disc inclined towards the Mediterranean Sea — evokes the image of the Egyptian sun illuminating the world. The dimensions of the project are gigantic: the library has shelf space for eight million books, with the main reading room covering 70,000 m2 on eleven cascading levels.
