About
The curved building, devoted to Henrik Ibsen, is located on the edges of the park, with which it establishes a relationshop through large windows and several accesses. The typical Norwegain wood tile roof tilts towards the park and rises towards the city. The lack of fixed panels and a ramp connecting the first floor and the basement make the space flow in the interior spaces, where wood creates a comfortable and attractive atmosphere. Outside, an amphitheater joins the park with the library’s lower level.
