In its website, the American Library Association affirms that a library of visual & performing arts is a valuable asset to have; yet, very few such libraries exist. Further, the word ‘library’ has always been associated with silent spaces populated by rows & rows of books. But do people even read anymore?

This studio had a two-fold objective: 1. To re-imagine libraries where books are replaced by powerful sensory tools such as painting, storytelling, dance, music, drama and movies as the primary mode of gaining information 2. To investigate the possibility of designing spaces from the inside out, with interior elements dictating the development of the exterior shell.

Consequently, students first studied libraries as they exist today, focusing on access systems such as sorting, cataloguing and organizing. They then made an informed choice of the art form and the city in which to locate their library. Finally, the concept and design intent were used as starting points to arrive at a shape grid that was manipulated to develop spaces from the inside out. Students applied their knowledge of spatial requirements and space-making elements to develop one space identified as the ‘heart’. Other spaces were subsequently designed and added to ‘grow’ the library, thus developing the exterior envelope.
