The proximity of the Oberdan Piazza and Fabiani's National Hall has encouraged us to look more
closely to the symbolic ties that are important for the Slovene minority living in Trieste. A hint that
would only symbolically show itself derives from Fabiani's masterfully designed facade's decoration.
Decorative geometric element has been broken down and transformed into a modern structure, which
represents itself in the basic pattern of the bookshelves.
The historical building where the new center is located is a palace dating from the first half of the last
century. The architectural concept of the interior upgrades the existing facility with a
'scenery'composed out of bookshelves which give the space a modern look. Bookcases are the central
element of the interior, announcing its function to the visitors and the city. Large glazed surfaces
oriented towards the free-covered colonnade open the views into the interior of the book center, which
results into becoming a lively part of the city. City space therefore becomes an arena for di!erent
events, workshops and conferences - Slovenian culture is open to the city and its habitants.
About
Interior is warm, inviting visitors to enter and visit it again and again. The book center is not only a
bookshop, but a place for organizing social and cultural events for all type of visitors It thinks of its
young generation of visitors who like browsing the web for news and culture and who enjoy e-books.
For children, there is a reading corner that provides games, children publications and di!erent
workshops. Elderly visitors can rest and browse through the books in the comfortable sitting area while
not missing the surrounding atmosphere.

The visitor while entering is surrounded by books. The pattern of the bookshelves and its composition
accompanied by interactive displays become the central point of the space. Material that dominates is
wood, which exudes warmth especially in contrast with the bright smooth floor. This way the wood's
color and structure becomes even more pronounced.
