Benghazi Central Library

This architecture has an excellent central courtyard, which creates tension for being in the space. Positive matters- Central courtyard. Negative matters- 1. The Architecture represents more a shopping complex rather than a Library. 2. The central space is not very connected to the exterior of the building, rather it represents combativeness. 3. Use of extended floor slab seems unnecessary 4. Use of inconsistent arch-some are for entry, and some are very cosmetic and false. 5. Less Climatic responsive architecture
