Exploring Dokk1 - How the concept of modern library is built?

"A silent library is a lifeless library. That's why we transformed Dokk1 into an open square," shared Marie Østergaard, manager of the Aarhus City Library (Denmark).Construction began in 2011 and, after four years, Dokk1 officially opened, much to the anticipation of the Aarhus city government and its residents. According to documents published by the library, the Dokk1 building has a total area of ​​28,000 square meters and cost 1.4 billion kroner (approximately 220 million USD ) to build.
