The Ancient Library of Alexandria was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. It contained all knowledge known to man, before it was burned to the ground by the Romans. In 1988 a competition was held. The grand prize: Build the revived Library of Alexandria! The prestigious mission was given to Norwegian architectural office Snøhetta. Construction began in 1995 and was completed in 16 October 2002 This is my entry for Marchitecture 2017 - Category 1: Architecture ------------------------------------- This building has fascinated me since the first time I saw it. The simple circular tilted shape makes it look like it was cut straight out from the ground. The circular shape and the form of the windows of the main building was what I focused on when building this. I've tried some different color combinations and picked up many a cheese slope from the floor during the process. :) https://www.flickr.com/photos/o0ger/32798147473
