Czech architects Projektil Architekti have completed the National Technical Library in Prague, Czech Republic.
The library was designed to house 1.2 million volumes alongside an exhibition hall, conference centre, cafe, and bookshop.
The building has three floors below ground (comprising storage and parking) and six storeys above.
Visitors can access the ground floor entrance hall from four directions and ascend to the main hall on the first floor.
The remaining storeys are arranged around a central atrium, admitting natural light.
All lighting points towards the centre of the building to help with orientation and the concrete interiors have brightly-coloured flooring.
