The design process was really tough, almost like a struggle for survival, but gradually an idea evolved: this sort of idea of a rational tower that melts together with the surrounding city, sort of expanding the public space onto what we refer to as a Scandinavian version of the Spanish Steps in Rome, but sort of public on the outside, as well as on the inside, with the library.
设计过程非常艰难， 几乎就像是为生存而抗争。 但是逐渐的想法在演进。 这是一个理性之塔  与周边城市环境的融合。 也就是把公共空间扩展到我们所说的 一个北欧版的罗马西班牙台阶。 但是除了外面是公共空间，内部也有公共空间 作为图书馆。
