The building’s brick surface creating void and shape as double façade. It will protect the inner space from hot-air and sun-light. Interiors are as spare as the exterior, dominated by local brick walls and the white surface of interior. Both surfaces reveal structure.

Walls are double layer solid brickwork (200mm x 2 thick, with no insulation cavity or expansion joints necessary).

Windows are free with circle shape, creating an interference pattern that works with interlocking interiors.’ Glazing is set almost flush with the internal wall surface and framed in white aluminum frames.

From the outside this exaggerates the wall’s mass, while internally, the arrangement was inspired in part by the window frames of L.Kahn.

Brick library creates a powerful presence and redefines the Skyline center square with the Concrete Flower by famous sculptor Pham Van Hang.

The heavy and imposing walls provide a thermally stable environment for books, and also cultivate the tranquil atmosphere of a college building.
