Text description provided by the architects. The Beckmann-N’Thépé agency chose an audacious strategy for the design of the new Marne-la-Valléeuniversity library, which resembles a mound of earth ‘torn from its natural environment,’ in harmony withits surroundings. ‘Between naturalism and terror, ‘the Marne-la-Vallée Library puts us in touch with ourdreams - active, joyous, sometimes disturbing, comforting, but always salutary’ - Aldric Beckmann.
