The new building is situated next to the main building of the Corvinus University of Budapest, forming part of the UNESCO World Heritage on the bank of the river Danube, in the 9th district of Budapest. The project was carried out by Wallis Real Estate during less than two years. The new building complex is successfully integrated in the existing university campus and in the architectural setting of the district. The external design of the building adopts modern and functional forms, while the use of sophisticated and long lasting materials ensure economic and sustainable operation. The building represents a true example of the ideal environment for education, research and businesses of future knowledge societies.
The inspiration for the article was the sociological survey by Aleksander Wallis and later Florian Zielinski on urban space and the information vesture of the city. However, the article focuses only on the ideological aspects of Polish libraries which are recognized only via the names of library patrons, monuments in and around the library buildings, their design, architecture esthetics etc. It has been shown that typical choices are connected with the local historical figures, well known people who were born in the local neighborhood or people who were important for Polish culture, mainly literature and science.
