Campus. The fascinating site for the new library on the 1960s campus of the Delft University of Technology is overshadowed by a large, brutalist concrete auditorium from Van den Broek & Bakema. The university needed a campus atmosphere: lawns with flowers and trees where students and professors meet informally on broad stairs. A modern library is served by computers, most of the books are stored in basements. It is a building where technique is displayed. In this way the programme was formulated.
