THE CONTEMPORARY TEMPLE OF KNOWLEDGE ⌂☼
<< THESIS >> -Murcia’s library is reinventing the concept of library: the place to not only preserve knowledge, but to amplify it. -Movement vs static: the Contrast between the continuous flow and the staticity of the study spaces. -The library as a mall: with no walls, no doors, no exit. Only the objects define the space. -The mall is a community centre with social mixture and transhuman politics. -The library is an icon for Murcia and a magnet for the public activity. -The unused plaza next to library is Murcia’s extra space. -The library is a hub for self-expression and creativity. -The library is Murcia’s Huerta.
KEY CONCEPTS Community Mall Social mixture Flow Icon/Public atraction huerta Self expression Extra space Knowledge Transhumanism Contemporaneity

The forward evolution of the urban space must focus in the contemporary cosm
mologics, enabling new contextual understandings between human - non human
layers are not barriers, are tolerances to a deeper reality
