바자 시립도서관의 지향점은 도시환경 속 입지적 특징의 반영과 지역주민들의 문화생활 증진을 위한 거점공간 창출에 있다. 고대 도시 문명과 현대적인 도시환경의 경계를 연결하는 입지적인 특징은 도서관을 두개의 개별적인 공간으로 구성시킨다. 도서관과 UNED(사이버 대학의 본관)이 경사지를 따라 자리한다. 어두운 회색계열의 석재로 마감, 거대한 플랫폼을 생성하는 저층부가 -UNED- 역사적인 도시를 향해 배치 및 전망을 확보하는 동안 상층부 2개층은 백색계열의 석재로 마감된 도서관이 자리, 상하부 대조적인 대비감을 이루며 디자인 된다. 지역주민들을 위한 도서관은 다양한 공용공간을 제공, 열린 공간으로 디자인된다. 이와 동시에 칠드런 룸 및 리딩클럽과 같은 독립적인 공간이 함께 구성된다.
도서관 파사드는 외부적인 환경과 내부 프로그램과의 관계를 고려, 상반된 입면을 디자인한다. 풍부한 자연채광 확보를 고려, 투명한 커튼월로 디자인된 북측면에는 열람실이 배치된다. 이와 반대로 유입되는 태양빛을 조절하기 위한 남측면은 백색면에 일정한 오프닝을 계획, 브리스-솔레이유이 같이 태양빛을 차양한다. 이를 통해 내부 조도는 일정히 유지되며 상담실 및 창고와 같은 공간이 적절히 배치된다.

The building is located on the southern edge of the historic town of Baza (Granada), in an irregular plot within an undeveloped urban area which will house an expansion of the municipality. This quality of the site as a boundary between ancient and contemporary city, has greatly marked the form of the building as a modern bastion or wall that intentionally marks this condition. On the other hand, the need to introduce into the building two compatible but independent programs, that is, a library and UNED (headquarters of the National University of Distance Education), and a steep slope in the plot, largely condition the building.

In response to these two programs, we propose a great stone platform on two floors housing the UNED program, that solves the drop between the end points of the path of the new project. On this platform, the library stands as a volume conditioned by its orientation, which opens its views to the old city. Between this building and the historic city is an urban landscaped void that functions as a “cushion” of this transition, which generates an appropriate visual and acoustic environment for the reading rooms that open to it.
The ground floor of the library has a strong public character and is configured as an open space of localities laid out in a seemingly arbitrary manner, that house the public uses such as periodicals, children’s room, or reading club. The upper floors, organized by the foyer with the central spiral staircase, have open spaces sorted according to the distribution of furniture, while the light generated by the constructive specificity of the facades clearly organizes the space into reading areas and storage rooms. In this sense the north facade is constructed with a glass skin that leads to reading spaces, while the southern facade, built like a thick perforated white wall that functions as a brise soleil to allow the entry of conditioned light, marks the consultation and storage spaces.
These facades, sensitive to orientation, views, and constructively opposing, generate a feeling of greatly uniform light in all areas of the library reading rooms.
