Summary/Abstract: The library is not just a room where books are kept and read, but a polymorphic, plurivectorized space which mediates continuous metamorphoses, thus becoming a place of identity withdrawal. In fact, this polymorphic space is like a center in which a being throbs with life, beauty, love and from which vectorial rays are scattered in all directions towards knowledge, fulfillment and bliss. Thus, a library becomes an intermediate space between utopia - the most beautiful of the worlds possible - and heterotopia - the movement of man from one space to another. In fact, this sanctuary full of books is the only place that generates a deep sense of space.
