Library Maloja BM

Description

The extension building for the library, a bronze coloured cube, inconspicuously stands between two single-family houses on the main street of Maloja. The cube sets itself apart from the old residential buildings through its form, color, and material. The contrast is reinforced by the facades: it consists of eight aluminum panels inscribed with quotes from Bergell artists. The three windows reflect the surroundings and separate the everyday external world from the inner reading world of the library.
