Minsk National Library

By Irene García Remis and Eva Martínez Hernández


The National Library of Belarus in Minsk was design by Víctor Kramarenko and Vinogradov Michael. It was developed in 2002 taking into account the bases of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus, which in 1998 decreed the construction of the building in the city of Minsk and it was finished in 2006 using postmodern architecture, neofuturism and deconstructivism stiles. The main entrance is addressed to Moscow, on Nezavisimosti Avenue 116, in Minsk, capital of Belarus and it´s function is a national library. Its structural shell shaped diamond base is covered with glass panels that shine for 24 hours a day as the gem it represents. The architects Víctor Kramarenko and Vinogradov Michael wanted to preserve and transmit this vision also at night. The building that is an allegory of humanistic knowledge, the use of geometry and the return to the vitruvian principles of the interior architecture, has as its main architectural component a volume shaped "rhombicuboctahedron", an octahedral rhombic cube, which rises on a base formed by three circumferences staggered in height that house the reading rooms and public spaces. With a total constructed area of ​​113,669 square meters, 54,960 correspond to the deposit. The building reaches a height of 73.67 meters, distributed in 22 floors. We think that this building will help people to become more interested in reading. We find it super nice and original and very well thought out since there is no mistake inside or outside. We like that it has 19 different reading rooms, terraces, a hyper deposit of books and more than 1500 work tables for the total comfort of the consumers. There are also parkings and a viewpoint! It could be better?!
