The library serves all the village schools in the region, most of which do not have libraries of their own.
The museum is lit indirectly by scooped recesses within the roof garden berms.
To facilitate the servicing of large gatherings, a linear amenity block housing, cafeteria, toilets, stores, and parking flanks the entrance at the northern side.
The rooftop gardens, the stone screens, the north facing courtyard, and southern grass berm collectively reduce the heat gain, rendering the spaces energy efficient.
Rainwater harvesting and water recycling make the building and its construction sustainable, using local craftsmen and contract labour with materials available in the region.
A building with a built up area of only 836m² generates a 836m² rooftop garden and a 2508m² open auditorium and, in addition to the enclosed spaces, generates usable space that is four times more than the built space.
