Arhitecturi reflexive şi arhitecturi destinate reflexivităţii: noul sediu al Bibliotecii Naţionale a României
Reflective Architectures and Architectures for Reflection: the New Headquarters of the National Library of Romania

The library of the 21st century and its role in community development

Summary/Abstract: Library buildings need to harmoniously express the public space-private space relation and thus to allow library users to consider libraries as private spaces for reading and leisure. This paper aims to present the implications, changes, and prospects of the National Library of Romania as a result of inaugurating its new headquarters. New spaces have direct consequences on the defining and redefining of the main activities, on the development of new activities, on the institutional management and on setting forth the institutional strategies.
