Casa de las Ideas数字图书馆位于贯穿蒂华纳Camino Verde社区的运河沿岸。相邻的建筑，大部分是非正式建造的住宅和企业，面对着同一条渠道，大量的公共活动、交通、正式和非正式的商业都集中在这里。这个地区有两个挑战的特点：犯罪和洪水。

The Casa de las Ideas digital library is located along the canal that runs through the Tijuana Camino Verde neighborhood. The adjacent buildings, mostly residences and businesses built informally, face the same channel, where a large amount of public activity, transport, and both formal and informal business, is concentrated. Two challenges characterize this area: crime and flooding.

图书馆是城市发展计划的一部分，是SEDESOL的一项倡议，它不仅提供了河流的渠道，还整合了一些公共空间、公园、娱乐区、社区中心和图书馆。其目的是通过公民基础设施和项目空间的设计，提高居民的生活质量，打击犯罪。

The library is part of the urban development plan, an initiative of SEDESOL, which provides not only the channeling of the river, but the integration of a number of public spaces, parks, recreational areas, community center and library. The aim is to improve the quality of life of its residents and combat crime through the design of civic infrastructure and program spaces.

拟议的图书馆是一个只有220平方米的空间。空间上的挑战和对数字图书馆如何为城市做出贡献的质疑，为图书馆产生了一个新的类型：一个集体空间，在这里，学习和信息的互动超越了这些服务的简单可及性。

The proposed library is a space of just 220 square meters. The spatial challenge and questioning about how a digital library can contribute to the city, have generated a new typology for the library: a collective space where learning and interaction of information goes beyond the simple accessibility of these services.

它的建筑向内部和外部的一些场景开放。建筑的形状在不同的平台上提供了一个内部的多功能室，用于讲座、戏剧、研讨会、阅读空间和计算机访问。

Its architecture opens to a number of scenarios both inside and outside. The shape of the building provides an internal multipurpose room on different platforms for lectures, plays, workshops, reading spaces and computer access.

由不同层次产生的坡度在建筑后面的外部衔接了一个空隙，在那里提出了一个户外论坛。一个连续的级联空间使得这个平滑而紧凑的建筑即使在营业时间之外也向公众完全开放。主要的意图是通过建筑的形式来创造并为城市做出贡献，在其邻近的空间创造出公民生活的主动权。

The slope generated by a different levels articulates a void on the outside at the back of the building, where an outdoor forum proposed. A sequential cascade of spaces makes the smooth and tight building fully open to the public even when outside business hours. The primary intention is to create and contribute to the city through the form of architecture that creates an initiative of civic life in its adjacent spaces.
