新的图书馆大楼位于快速城市化的庞迪切里的一个住宅区，是通过社会组织Nandalal Sewa Samithi推动的社会基础设施。
Set in a residential area of rapidly urbanizing Pondicherry, the new library building is realized as a social infrastructure facilitated through the social organization Nandalal Sewa Samithi.
负担能力是一个关键的考虑因素，图书馆是用当地制造的外露砖块建造的，在周围房屋和公寓楼的灰泥和油漆砖石建筑的背景下，它将作为一个机构性建筑脱颖而出。
Affordability being a key consideration, the library is a construction built in locally made, exposed bricks, which would stand out as an institutional building in the context of the plastered and painted masonry construction of the surrounding houses and apartment buildings.
屋顶轮廓代表着 “开放的书”，正如用铁合金技术构思的屏蔽元素一样，象征着知识的不断进步。上层的正交墙像皇冠一样向外倾斜，因为建筑的目的是为社区服务，并通过鼓励阅读和学习来增强社区的能力。
The roof profile represents the ‘open book’, as do the screening elements conceived in ferrocement technology symbolizing constant progress through knowledge. The orthogonal walls on the upper floor lean outwards towards the top like a crown, as the building aims to serve the community and invest in its empowerment by encouraging reading and learning.
由于土地受到住宅地块面积的限制，楼上的露台设计为沉思和非正式户外活动提供了必要的开放空间，从而弥补了这一点。该设施的包容性体现在为视障人士提供盲文书籍。这一特点在建筑上体现为将盲文字体融入建筑元素中，在砖块、屏风和天花板上形成多孔图案。
As land is limited by the residential plot sizes, the terrace upstairs is designed to compensate for this by providing the necessary open space for contemplation and informal outdoor events. The inclusiveness of this facility is demonstrated by the inclusion of Braille books for the visually impaired. This particular feature is reflected architecturally in the way a Braille typeface is integrated into the building elements to create porous patterns in the brickwork, screens and ceiling.
光线图案以盲文的形式在室内空间留下印记，让看得见的人在视觉上了解看不见的人的语言，从而提高他们对不同能力者的敏感度。
Light patterns in the form of Braille texts leave their imprint on the interior spaces so that those who can see are visually aware of the language of those who cannot see, and thus increase their sensitivity to the differently abled.
