People Everything described above, that is the idea, the design and a construction of the new building, in parallel with the working “old library” shaping up for the reincarnation in the new environment; this all starting with authors of the initial idea, through archeologists, architects, artists, assemblymen, building team, businessmen, designers, developers, draughtsman, economists, gate-keepers, IT people, lawyers, librarians, managers, organisers, suppliers, quantity & quality surveyors, trustees, etc. is a result of a collaboration of tens and tens of people.
