African project Rwanda Library Share your thoughts on this project stadium in the late afternoons. The second floor accommodates offices for the library staff on the west side and archives on the east with an open library and study area under a high sloping roof in the centre. The building remains cool throughout the day, due to the building’s orientation, and the main roof is insulated against strong heat gain from the vertical tropical midday sun.
