Faculty of Arts Library of Masaryk University
Concealed within a labyrinth of buildings in the centre of Brno is the Art Faculty Library at Masaryk University. Together with the faculty building, it forms a complex that comprises almost half an urban block. Yet in their outlines, form, utilisation and origin the two buildings could not possibly be more different. In the immediate neighbourhood are picturesque gardens and some residential buildings which close off the block on the other side. It is in this context that the library makes its appearance, displaying strictly rectangular volumes, an abstract surface and none of the traditional articulation of windows and roof.
