LI City Library is located in the Tianmu Lake Resort in Liyang City. The building was an office before the renovation. The government proposed new social functions, to offer the convenience of shared urban cultural spaces and provide a public space for citizens and tourists to read books for free 24 hours a day.

3 focal points: Reuse: Retention and Reuse of Architectural Framework 2. Sustainability: Introducing Natural Light into the Building 3. Renewal: Extending the Use of the Building with New Functions

This project constitutes the ingress expanse adjacent to the recently expanded terminus of the Osaka Metropolitan Subway's Midosuji Line, presently elongated in the northerly trajectory. Initially, its functional requirement was to serve as the passageway connecting the third basement floor station entrance to the ground level and pedestrian deck. However, the design competition facilitated the development of this station entrance that transcends its utilitarian purpose, transforming into the public place.
