Publishing a project monograph on the BnF, on the occasion of the 20 anniversary of the opening of the BnF’s research rooms to the public, makes it possible to present a critical edition tracing the adventure of ideas, concepts and methods imagined by Dominique Perrault to design a 21st-century library. The work proposes a different view of the building: a place, a public space for work and mediation equal to the digital revolution.
This work proposes a journey through the history and challenges of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, from its conception to its inauguration. Through six themes, numerous essays, interviews and over 600 images, it traces the adventure of this unique project.
