A reading room added to a 1962 library, joined to it by a glazed link 2.4 metres wide. The new room is a single volume with north light on three sides and no windows facing the street.
The shelves are the structure. Nine loadbearing bookcases in laminated fir carry the roof, which means the perimeter is free and the room can be read in one glance from the door.


A covered square rather than a building: a 24 × 24 m roof, four cores, and nothing else. It was built as a temporary structure for a single summer and the municipality has kept it for eight years.
The roof is a two-way concrete waffle, 300 mm deep, cast in situ over eleven pours. Rain leaves through the four cores; there are no gutters.
