一系列堆叠的景观为图书馆和公民活动创造了室内和室外空间。一个中央的空隙穿过每个平台，以带来光和视图，同时作为一个被动通风系统。优雅的空白创造了一个独特的学习和阅读的地方。

A series of stacked landscapes create indoor and outdoor spaces for both the library and civic activity. A central void pierces through each terrace in order to bring in light and views, while simultaneously acting as a passive ventilation system. The elegant voids create a unique place to study and read.

每个楼层之间有一个明确的区别，允许每个空间随着时间的推移而随着使用和需求的变化而变化。指定为儿童区的楼层包括一个起伏的书柜、一个冒险花园、一个带有吊床的青年区、以及黑海的美丽景色等等。

There is a clear distinction between each floor, allowing each space to evolve as use and demand change over time. A floor designated as a children’s area contains an undulating bookcase, an adventure garden, a youth zone with hammocks, and beautiful views of the Black Sea, among other features.

底层是一个活动空间，将图书馆与街道和周围建筑的活动连接起来。它被设计成一个吸引人的空间，图书馆的每一面都被包括展览、会议、咖啡馆和大型大厅空间在内的公共节目激活。

The ground floor serves as an event space, connecting the library with the activity of the street and surrounding buildings. It is designed as an inviting space with every side of the library activated by public programs including exhibitions, conferences, a café and a large lobby space.

“图书馆需要一种让公众直观地使用它们的清晰性。人们必须对像他们自己的城市图书馆这样的地方感到自在，这是为了让他们放松、学习和扩展他们的故事，“Stewart Hollenstein主任费利西蒂·斯图尔特说。

“Libraries need a legibility that allow the public to use them intuitively. People must feel at ease with a place like their own city library, built for them to relax, learn and expand their story,” said Felicity Stewart, Director, Stewart Hollenstein.

比赛由瓦尔纳市和保加利亚建筑师协会组织。目前的图书馆分布在整个城市的六座不同的建筑物中。目标是在一个屋檐下收集所有的书籍，同时在瓦尔纳中心建立一个新的公共空间。

The competition was organized by the Varna Municipality and the Chamber of Architects in Bulgaria. The current library is contained in six different buildings spread throughout the city. The goal was to collect all of the books under one roof while simultaneously creating a new public space in the center of Varna.
