STYLE EFFECT

The building has a pretty modernism style when
it was build because it looked different from the
other buildings in the area. But now it is not as
modern because a lot of other buildings have
been renovated. They are renovating the library
and the Havo studieplein right now.
Modernism (1920-1970)
The building is designed to be impressive and tower over al of the other
buildings in the area. It also looks pretty significant because: Your eyes
are dawn to the irregular architecture of the library. The first thing you
see when you go past the building is the logo and the big glass planels as
walls used for the library. It also has a nice colour without looking like an
eyesore with the surroundings
