We start from the principle that a library and a bus station are public facilities that, in terms of their use, their environmental needs and even their form, are clearly antagonistic.

A library needs silence, and therefore a certain tranquility in its environment, on the contrary, a bus station is a place where the movement of buses, cars and people generates a dynamism and noise a priori incompatible with a library.

The existence of the railroad track on the southern boundary of the site makes it advisable to locate the library in the farthest part of the site.

For these and other reasons we propose the creation of a new street, perpendicular to Guadalquivir Street, which:

– Serve as a functional and conceptual separation between the library and the bus station.

– This new two-lane road plus parking lane allows not only bus access to the station, but also access for private cars, cabs, etc.

– The creation of this new street establishes an immediate connection from the IES to the new library by simply opening a door in the IES.

The general arrangement is developed in two distinct buildings, on the one hand the library; a pure volume on two floors set back from all the limits of the plot, on the other the bus station that by repeating a vaulted roof module and with the lowest possible height, seeks to soften its implementation, fragmenting the roof through the curve and counter curve.

In this way, the two buildings are formally opposed to each other: a rotund parallelepiped volume and a light wave-shaped roof separated by a street.
