The orientation of the entire campus ensemble is important, as well as the orientation of each individual building, especially in relation to the direction of the dominant wind, south and mistral. Intense summer insolation, characteristic of the local climate, encourages architecture to create deep, shaded spaces in which drafts create a pleasant microclimate. The culturally determined spatial matrix of the existing urban units supports the type of spatiality that is already determined by local climatic characteristics. The space of the new building thus is determined by the functional schematic belonging to that type of function-library. Large spaces with flexible layout of necessary furniture, introversion, concentration, targeted and carefully located and directed light preferably diffused and cool, from the north, calm and somehow conservative atmosphere.
Expressed by the primary ease of linear outline, the idea of the architectural composition determines the relationships of lines, surfaces and volumes, the extensibility in the environment and the dimensions of the architectural form, but does not yet determine the materiality of the form. The volume composition of the Library, following the conceptual spaciousness, is shaped as a set of four volumes placed on a single elevated plateau that unites these volumes into a single corpus.
