It is not only one of the city's most important buildings architecturally, but the library is also a very important public building for the inhabitants of Stockholm. The aim is to ensure that the building remains to be a public library also in the future. Stockholm as a city is expanding, its inhabitants are becoming younger and more multicultural, at the same time as the knowledge society is developing. That is why the library also needs to be improved, extended and given new functions.The City of Stockholm is organising an international architectural competition for the extension of the library in two stages:

The first stage of the competition 
Starts on 01 June 2006
The closing date for the first stage is 27 October 2006

The second stage with a maximum of five participants
Starts in May 2007

Both stages of the competition will be anonymous

The total prize
SEK 2.2 million

The aim is for the competition to result in an extension of high architectural quality and a world-class combined library function with Asplund's main library as an integral part. The library needs the extension in order to preserve the function of the Asplund building as a public library. The library will need about 24,000 m2 compared to the 14,000 m2 it has today, of which 7,500 m2 are in the Asplund building. The extension should quadruple the current space available to the general public in the existing library.

The competition is intended to produce a winning proposal, which can form the basis for the realisation of the project. The two-stage competition aims to:

-Produce a proposal for an attractive, well-functioning library of high architectural quality, and with a concept that is strong enough to withstand a dynamic implementation process
-Provide a basis for the planning process
-Provide scope for procuring an architectural service in accordance with the Swedish Act on Public Procurement for the subsequent design and implementation of the project

The language of the competition will be English. All information will be available in English only
