Megathek, Hamburg 2021

Commissioned by the Academy of Architectural Culture and developed together with Brazilian, Iranian and German students, the library makes use of the existing structural framework of the former bank building. Existing atriums are extended to the ground floor for a vertical agora, and boxes with different atmospheres and a roofing over the public roof terrace with a view over the city are added. The expressive colored glass roof enriches the Hamburg skyline as a civic landmark.
