Recently the Architectural credible website announced the amphitheater and center library design as the most visited cultural design worldwide in 2012 next to designs of the biggest architects of the world such as Zaha Hadid, Norman Fuster, Steven Hall, and the BIG Team.
This design has been placed in the desired list next to Maxi Rome Museum by Zaha Hadid, winner of the best building of the year in 2010 at the World Architecture Festival.
In this project, the volume of the university library collection and its hall have been tried to be kept as a statue or memorable photo. The cross knot and chafed in the facade show the volume visually connected. Dark fixed glasses with triangular shapes make the place bright and actually, it somehow plays with light and shadow. these elements make a peaceful place by reducing the sunlight, especially in the hot and dry summers of Semnan.
