GANDHI FOUNDATION LIBRARY

In the chaos of world there are some places where one can feel the stillness of the space;a space where one can understand inner soul. Taking the concept of silence and light a library for Gandhi Foundation is designed. Gandhi lead a simple life but did a lot for the nation similarly the library is a cubical from outside but offers a lot inside. The library becomes more silent as one moves towards the top. It creates introvert spaces that open in the central core.
