In addition to technical repairs, the historic ceiling was uncovered and the parquet floor refinished. Discarded magazine racks now serve as exhibition and storage areas for the material samples. The library&#8217;s content was also reoriented; for example, building materials are no longer presented as semi-finished products but as pure building materials that can circulate in the biological or technical cycle without loss of quality or that consist of secondary raw materials.
