The plan organisation is developed into a chromosome layout, maintaining the outer building line, while implementing two atria spaces. This improve visual communication between floors and visitor orientation. By splitting the plan into two connecting strings is thermal buoyancy enabled through the atria space and cross ventilation is improved through the floor depth of max 12m. Daylight have furthermore improved conditions through a depth to height ratio on each floor on 1:2. An aesthetical and lighter plan solution thus derive through sustainable strategies. Restrictions to floor depth and position can then inform the parametric design model for optimisation of lux levels and shading controls in both global and local systems. (Note that all plans shown below are with south orientation upward)
The building is connected to the ground in two locations containing depository, located next to street (east side of building) for deliveries of materials and an entrance/exhibition area (west side of building) connected to the Pl. Gardunya and the space located between the library and the existing building to the south. A direct connection between Pl. Gardunya and the garden behind the building is thus possible, making the library more part of the square and the square more part of the building as it stretch underneath it.
A possible plan layout with view-points, open study, book shelves and interior logistics weaving through the building.
Possible movement layout through building along the atria spaces.

In order to develop your plans I think you should start to make some evaluations with ECOTECT....remember you have defined a theory in the 1. report...use it..!!!
