Text description provided by the architects. Beside a 19th century theatre, a library was built in the 80’s, with a rational concrete modular system trying to mimic the theatre’s facade semantics. The library grew old quickly and by the turn of the new century it was outdated. A competition was arranged to build a cultural centre that would comprise the old theatre. The winning proposal by Lars Gauffin and Mariano Tellechea at Nyréns Arkitektkontor, keeps the concrete facade from the 80’s as a time document and adds a third layer with its own contemporary language, bringing all the parts into a dynamic composition and thus showing the programmatic diversity inside the building.
