In ancient times, the Colosseum attracted a large number of people, both citizens and visitors. At the moment it is interesting only as a historical monument. In order to meet the needs of people in the new Rome, we propose to organise a green library in the Colosseum, following modern trends in organising co-working areas with coffee shops and cafes, as well as lecture halls. 

This object is a place of attraction for various groups of the population, providing comfortable opportunities for education, work, and entertainment. Our project involves landscaping the library with various plant species characterising different climatic zones of Europe. Green spaces create comfortable conditions inside and outside the library, lowering the overall temperature of the city. 

Each climatic zone, in addition to landscaping, is saturated with the cultural heritage of the countries located in this zone, including literature, films, and music. This allows you to use the library not only as a multifunctional space, but also as a way to immerse yourself in the culture of European countries. 

All spaces are intersected by a large staircase leading to infinity. What does this infinity mean..? The answer is different for everyone.
