The Bibliotheque grew out of a commission and conversation with Aid & Abet to create a simple structure that covered a myriad of uses. Amongst which were a new visitors centre, gallery space, bookshop, tea bar, cocktail joint, seating area and a space within which artists commissioned by the CB1 development could showcase their proposals.
In the end it became its own freestanding structure taking over a portion of the gallery creating a space separate from the gallery in which other projects can be explored or more simply an environment within which relaxation and its myriad forms can occur.
