My Scheme
“Create a sense of a larger community of learning�
Site Plan
Create a Grand New central Core Redesign the Wings Redesign the Interior layout Update the look of the library with a Modern Facade Brand New Cartoon Extension (West Wing)

New Central Core
Aim to make the core the main Circulation zone in the library. University of British Columbia -Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences Large atrium in centre of the building links all the floors together, creating both a social and circulation hub.
Create an elegant repeated form from the stairs that guides users up through the space. Stircase will run up both sides of central void.

Grand Entrance

Rear Entrance
Initial sketches of planned regeneration of rear entrance, showing idea of creating a buffer zone.
(Right) Front perspective of new design for rear entrance. Access straight into the Centra core atrium and circulation zone.
(Above Right) The existing structural butress is surrounded in a glass box with wood finishing. This creates a buffer zone between the outside and the internal spaces. (Left) Light study of the space at night. The louvres will create interesting light effects at night, making the space social and habited even in the darkness of night.

Interlinking spaces within exhisiting library Wings
Above: Section of West Wing of Library
First ideas for the exisiting wings Create series of small atriums, linking the diffferent floors together and improve the “sense of a greater community of learning�.

Redesign The East Wing
Overall Concept Get rid of the exisitng structure where pc labs are currently situated. Create terraces on all levels that overlook each other and create a social space on all floors of the east wing, currently very unsocial.

Reordering of the interior Layout is linked to Facade Design Where does this link to my design?
Zollerein School Building
I am relocating the study zones and social zones within the exhisiting “The initial concept for the project was a concrete cube 35m by structure into zones that work well together. Taking note of noise pollution 35m, perforated by thousands of small apertures of different sizes� and temperature change. Ziger/Snead. The sizes of the holes changed depending on the purpose of the zones behind the facade.
The facade will change depending on which type of zone is behind the facade. A Mesh will cover the exhisiting windows which will be replaced with whole new panels of glass. It will also act a solar shading during the hotter months.
Left: Initial conceptual sketch of how the front of the building would be. It shows the facade changing as the zones behind change.

Overiding concept of West Extension What do i want the extension to be? The extension will have its own identity, yet be seen as part of the overall library complex through the use of the updated facade design.

Create a greater sense of a large community of learning. By creating spaces that overlook each other, the different floor levels will be visually linked together.
