The media library for Ghent University has a large-scale brief: a library, a centre for new media, an agora for children andyouths, multi-purpose rooms, etc. A complex interior world focused on educational elements. 

The building is beside the Krook &mdashthe canal that runs through the city, which reaches its lowest point here on its journey to the city centre&mdash, a site that highlights Ghent's two 'ground' levels: the level of the canal and the level of the countless bridges that cross it.
