这是由Sourabh Gupta设计的尤伽南达图书馆，位于索兰市Shoolini大学，能俯瞰美丽的绿色山谷。从概念上讲，这座四层高的建筑是一个内在联系强烈的、虚实结合的体块，将整个建筑作为一个大型功能板块联系。它开始于一个由底部两层的遮阳带状空间。这里将作为高年级学生和老师的细胞研究和讨论区。

顶部两层则设置了一个大型中庭空间，让和谐的间接光线流入建筑楼层各部分。庭院巧妙地连接虚实两种空间，并延伸至阳台，成为一个自然光线容器。这种光线不加限制、而温度、视线加以控制的方式，带来了建筑内部舒适的气候条件。功能方面，该图书馆的书籍布置在外围，围绕着中央的内环排布成一列，形成明亮的绿色空间。这种内向而让人思考的学习环境带来一种安静的感觉，创造了一个神圣的知识和学习的场所。

'To rebel with a cause’; The big blank concrete central library- the Yogananda library of the Shoolini University in Solan, overlooks a beautiful green valley. Sitting in the landscape as an impassive built piece, peacefully positioned, the building stands out reflecting the nature of its function and physically manifests the philosophy of this biotechnology campus.

Conceptually, this four-floor structure is an intense interconnected volume of voids and solids, connecting the entire building as a large functional plate. It starts as a narrow strip of an extroverted, yet shaded space on the lower two floors. These are research cells and discussion areas of senior students and faculty.

The upper two floors are made deeper as the contours recede and the front remains aligned. This allows a large central courtyard that pours uniform indirect light into all the parts of the built floors. The courtyards connect playfully in voids and volumes as they broaden up to the terrace to become a natural container of light. This unrestricted light but controlled temperature and views bring the required climatic control within the building.

Functionally, the library books stack up on the periphery, with a row of reading bays forming an inner ring with a center, being a bright green inspiring space. This physical introversion and philosophical introspection in a study environment brings in a sense of silence, creating a sacred space for knowledge and learning in an educational campus.

The terrace is a lush green extension of the central courtyard. One could bring books away from the confines of a traditional library stack and read on the refreshing grass, sun bathing on these winter foothills. The greens keep the latent temperatures of the structure in check to add to comfort within.

The green roofs bring in a level of drama, as one ascends through these large steps. One could casually climb the spacious stairs and use the steps to surf for books. Seating on steps, lighting from top onto the books and the strong directional volume thus created aids in pulling people and uplifts them, literally. The circulation space is thus reinterpreted as a bright yellow, clean white and raw grey contrast. They work well against each other to give this reinvented route, a refreshing look and feel.

Last, but not least, the fair faced concrete facade is a two-face phenomenon. The inner face of concrete bears the load of the entire shelving system of the library and it's books. The concrete wall is supported by seemingly intersecting concrete columns; an interpretation of the most fundamental element of biotechnology and reflection of the university's logo. The clean facade of concrete and recessed glass brings out the fundamental function of the building. The spatial superstructure and the exclusivity of the elevation, elevates the role of the library on the campus and evaluates the campus for it’s international sensibility. It gives the university an apt image, an ideal icon.
