图书馆建在一个奇妙的地块中，在城市的内部，在圣伊西德罗和斯塔的墓地形成的檐上。Mara靠近Manzanares河。该地块有一个陡峭的斜坡向北，没有建筑障碍，在这个方向，所以我们有一个美丽的景观马德里的天际线从历史中心到山区。

The library is built in a wonderful plot in a inner limit of the city, on the cornice formed by the graveyards of San Isidro and Sta. María close to the Manzanares river. The plot has a steep slope north oriented without building obstruction in this direction, so we have a wonderful view of Madrid's skyline from the historic centre to the mountains.

这个地方是由谁来做几何学的主决策，以及如何打开和连接到外部。这是一座功能建筑，透明，从街道上可以看到图书馆的活动，读者可以参与城市的活动，它有一个短的材料调色板，直接显示一切是如何建造的，设施跟踪总是可以看到的。图书馆的浪漫理念体现在主阅览室向景观敞开的地方。

The place is who is taking the master decisions about geometry and how is open and is connected to the exterior. This is a functional building, transparent, the library activity is seen from the street and the readers can take part of the city. It has a short material palette and shows directly how everything is built, facilities tracing is always seen. The romantic idea of the library is represented by the main reading room wide open to the landscape.

体积来源于从情节和城市规则中产生的大量元素，三次主要切割创造了建筑的功能和结构方案，并划定了内部庭院。每切一次就形成一个结构平面，那些需要透明的(玻璃)墙结构被钢桁架取代。剩余体积被移除，使梯田跟随地形坡度。第二次手术水平切割建筑物，一个巨大的混凝土地下室从地形和一个巨大的金属盒子在它之上(阅览室)。

Volume gets from a cast process from a massive element created from the plot and urban regulations. Three main cuts create the functional and structural scheme of the building and delimit the inner court. Each cut create a structural plane, those that need to be transparent (glass) the wall structure is replaced by a steel truss . Remaining volume is removed making terraces following terrain slope. Second operation cuts horizontally the building, a great concrete basement emerge from the terrain and a big metallic box over it (the reading room)

卡拉班切尔地区边界上的城市内部界限。靠近Manzanares河，略高，靠近Sta María和San Isidro的历史墓地，占地1600平方米，陡峭的斜坡(12米)向北倾斜。道路只能从底部进入。该地区的人行通道位于最高处，靠近地区中心和大部分当地人口。当地法规安排并限制了图书馆可能存在的实体。

Inner urban limit on the border of the Carabanchel district. Close to the Manzanares river and slightly high, is close to the historic graveyards of San Isidro and Sta María on a 1600 sqm plot,  steep slope (12m) oriented north. Road access is only possible from the bottom part. Pedestrian access from the district is in the top, close to the district centre and most of the local population. Local regulations  arrange and create limits to the possible solid of the library.

图书馆类型是严格界定的阿因塔米安托马德里(镇议会)：功能方案的2，500平方米的图书馆，测试在城市的许多图书馆。设计原则：灵活性，开放空间，内外视野，功能方案调整.

Library typology is strictly defined by the Ayuntamiento de Madrid (Town Council): Functional programme for a 2,500sqm library, tested in many libraries of the city. Design principles: flexibility, open spaces, views inside-outside, and adjustment to the functional programme.

建筑物和建筑被合并，因此不可能彼此分离。结构作为建筑的一种表现元素，它展示了建筑是如何工作的。结构不仅代表效率和经济价值：是建筑本身。图书馆内展示了一些设施，展示了一栋裸露的建筑，并提供了低成本的维护.

Building and structure are merged so it´s not possible to detach one from another. Structure as a expressive element of the building, it shows how works literally. Structure doesn't only represents efficiency and economy values: is architecture in itself. Facilities are shown inside the library, showing a naked building and providing a low-cost maintenance.

在内部，我们使用一个短的工业材料调色板：混凝土，玻璃，金属和竹木作为一个温暖的对位。

Inside we use a short and industrial material palette: concrete, glass, metal and bamboo wood as a warm counterpoint.
