INFO-TECA: A MODERN LIBRARY IN THE DIGITAL ERA FINAL THESIS
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 2020
The present thesis, entitled INFO TECA, proposes the renovation of the former Maison Crystal in Thessaloniki’s Nea Paralia into a modern library adapted to the needs of the digital age. The questions explored in this project concern the form of the new building block, the relationship between the old and the new, as well as the function of the library itself and its role in the digital age. Information therefore, as a concept was an important source of inspiration for this work On the one hand, it relates to the library as a space since it is the object that is kept and flows into a modern library and, on the other hand, it is information and stimuli that we receive through our senses which help us interpret and understand the world.
