With the computer, internet and mobile devices the future of libraries in the digital age has changed. This change is affecting to the function of the library and consequently to its architecture. Nothing new in a typology with constant adaptations over time.


A striking case of this transformation can be the building BTU. Cottbus. Information, communication and media center. The very name of the library already gives us clues to its new meaning. With the current computer media, does a person currently need to attend a library?. The new appearance of these places, the new iconic meaning, its name (no library, media information and communication center) the multiplicity and diversity of spaces produced, they are the result of this transformation.
