Allow me to provide further insights on the subject in focus which is the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. 

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is the world view of modern library and cultural center that is situated along the shore of Mediterranean Sea at Alexandria, Egypt. It is a dedication to the famous Library of Alexandria which existed many year ago and was among the greatest libraries in history but is now no more. 

1.Some of the specific details of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina worth noting include: 

2.Conception and Constrution: 

The thought of taking the old library back is in history since 1974 when a library building committee planned by the Alexandria university chose a location for its new library building. 

Building support for the modern version of the ancient library of alexandria was easy for many politicians in Egypt including former President Hosni Mubarak himself.
This thought was further supported in that there are cultural and academic opportunities to be found in this region, thanks to UNESCO. 

3.Design Notes: 

Bibliotheca Alexandrina architecture was designed by Norwegian architectural company Snøhetta. 

4.The stylization of the building in question is as follows: 

A huge blunt shape wiling away on the sloping horizon of the ground and positioned at a distance of roughly 40 meters to the closest point of the Mediterranean Sea. 

The roof is in form of a disk, which shows a rising sun above the sea depicting Mediterranean Sea.
The roof structure is made out of aluminum and glass which is patterned like a microchip.
One of the outer walls is made up of 6400 granite panels with different letters etched on them representing every letter ever used. 

5.Active zones: 

The library has enough shelf space to accommodate up to eight million books within its seven layers of ascending levels.
The primary reading area has an astonishing expanse of 20,000 square meters. 

6.Apart from the library, the building enclosure contains: 

A summer house
A conference center
Specialized libraries for atlas, audio-visual materials, the disabled, and more.
