Concept

The design proposal of the Daniel Burnham Plan is to integrate parks, open spaces for recreational activities, bayfronts, well-proportioned buildings of reinforced concrete, and such. With that, the concept of Jardin (garden) has been incorporated inside and outside the proposed project.

Therefore, this concept will translate Biblioteca Jardin into a classical library with some of the old legislative building’s character from 1928-1947. Moreover, it will be incorporated with innovation that adheres to the Daniel Burnham Plan to bring back the remnants of the past.
