The present work deals with the relationship between architecture and digital
technology and presents, as main objective, the proposal of a Digital Library in the city
of Sobral. Based on the research of the Portraits of Reading in Brazil (2016) survey,
which reports the fact that young Brazilians show less and less interest and desire for
reading. This perception brings reflections on the use of new methods and the capacity
of digital processing as a resource that can contribute to new learning habits through
the great propagation of information and the insertion of uses of computational devices
in different places. In view of this problem, it is understood the need to create a new
library model in a functional space, of interaction, conviviality and knowledge
exchange. Therefore, in order to meet the new demands and ways of acting from a
hyperconnected generation, technology is used as an integrating resource for learning
through the exchange of experiences between users. For this, as a methodology, we
use descriptive research, with studies, analyzes and interpretations of the data made
available on Platforms. The proposal is developed focusing on the theme of
Technological and Iconic Architecture to constitute a plastic solution that makes the
library an equipment of vitality and attraction. The main purpose of the Digital Library
is to integrate the target audience with digital equipment, in addition to contributing and
articulating new perspectives for a promising future for the city of Sobral. As for the
literature review referring to architectural concepts, the iconic concept is applied in the
development of digital libraries. As a theoretical basis, to understand the city, it is based
on Castello, 2007, Lynch (2006), Hillier (1993) and Jacobs (1961). For discussions on
architecture, it is based on Valença (2016) and MLP Valentim (2017).
