Urban planning becomes arbitrary when it doesn't interact with the surroundings of the space it occupies! The outdoor space could lend itself more towards the building itself.

I don't see any columns.. it's probably not going to look as nice (you will lose some transparency) when it gets "down-to-earth" and stops being just an idea..

In response to this, the project is a public place for gathering and sharing around information." Is anyone else tired of this idea? It was really cool 10 years ago. For fear of sounding "old-fashioned," books still do have an important place in the world. “As with changes on how people consume information, the typical library approach as a storage/reading facility gets obsolete.

Sure, you have to put something on the ramps or they won't have any reason to exist (tables, shelving...). Maybe the problem of that project is the architectural barrier made by the big stairs. A library should be 100% accessible to anyone http://www.kingroselli.com/projects/pul/pul-2.html I thought at the biblioteca pontificia too and I think it works fine.

The ramps are actually pretty nice and I can imagine just lazily walking up or down the ramps with a book in hand or even just to enjoy the space.
