Design Research

All of the images are from Pinterest. These builds will serve as my primary source of inspiration for the library's final design. The main common feature of all of these is that they adhere to the futuristic architectural style that is currently taking over the urban layout of various cities throughout the world. Futuristic architecture presently offers often rather unusual building ideas as a result of outstanding technical developments. These structures blend in nicely with their surroundings and frequently pay homage to nature by experimenting with organic materials and using materials that can simply fade into the environment.

Long thing walls with wide windows help to blend interiors and exteriors, which has led to an increase in their application in current architecture, which I shall consider. As seen in these structures, glass is employed not only in doors and windows, but also in the walls, roof and skin of the building, all of which contribute to the façade. They are recognised for their translucence, which makes the environment comfortable and makes a tiny room appear larger than it is. These buildings frequently have their roof overhanging, which not only provides their building a more artistic appearance but also protects the huge windows and doors from rain, which may stain them.

This especially helpful for my design as the site is situated in a country that has a high amount of rain fall per year.

Finally, the interior of the building is used to shape the outer façade. The floors are readily visible from outside the building as the level changes.
