Their proposal, developed in collaboration with Berlin landscape architects Topotek1 and entitled “Dalarna Media Arena”, involves the construction of a new 3,000 m2 building on the campus of the University of Dalarna (the region where Falun is the capital), as well as the adjacent “media” plaza . The complex is designed not only for students and teachers, but also for ordinary citizens. It will be a multifunctional center for knowledge and social life, in the spirit of modern ideas about the library.
The structure of the building is built on the "spiral of knowledge": the flat surface of the earth brings visitors to the ramp connecting all the tiers of the building, which will help to easily navigate the interior. Outside, the facades will be clad in wood - a tribute to local tradition.
Nearby, on the site of the former parking lot, there will be a "media plaza" - a multifunctional public space that will complement the library.
