建筑位于火车站边,是多特蒙德市的标志之一。当今的图书馆建筑都面临着个性丧失的危机,这并不完全是由于新技术造成的,它也来自于至今仍未被摆脱的,源于19世纪传统——把图书馆看成是不能满足社会需要的,静态的容器。设计师博塔的构思是突出图书馆的公共性。他把建筑明确分成了两个部分。 The building is located by the train station and is one of the symbols of Dortmund. Today’s library buildings are faced with a crisis of loss of individuality. This is not entirely due to new technologies. It is also a result of the 19th-century tradition that has still not been shaken off. The library is considered unsatisfied. Social needs, static containers. The idea of ​​designer Bota is to highlight the public nature of the library. He clearly divided the building into two parts.
