I N T E R A C T I VA R I U M COMMUNITY LIBRARY OF ASHEVILLE, NC
Kn owledge becomes powerful through interaction. Libraries are rapidly changing in an attempt to keep up with the evolving way that our society amasses knowledge. The answer to the libraries evolved role i s m a i nta i n g h u m a n interact ion. T his library is located in A shev ille, N C a n d t h ro u g h t h e programming seeks to ser ve t he communit y in a way t h at re s p o n d s to t heir interest s. T he ent ry is marked by four light we l l s t h at re a d a s co lumns in t he stone ex terior. T hese light wells hark to a n a ge w h e re t h e l i b ra r y wa s b u i l t a s a te m p l e w i t h co l u m n s a n d p ro m e n a d e s to d i st inguish it . T he light wells invert t he separat ion of the columns and instead give the passerby a glimpse into the library and in the evenings emits an inviting glow. The program is the driving fo rc e o f d e s i gn i n t his project and t he form of t he building responds. A s t h e re a re t h re e domains of learning , t here are t hree sectors of t h e l i b ra r y: Kn o wl e dge, Att it ude, and Sk ill. T he sectors converge into a n a re a t h at i s t h e highest interact ive zone. A s t he sectors spiral out from this active center node they are still highly interactive, however they start to break down into public v. private functions on the ground level. Each level above the ground floor becomes less about social domain and more introspective. The ground level houses a theater which can be used for lectures, plays, and movies. Outside of the t h e ate r t h e re a re s helves and screens t hat display informat ion about the show that is happening inside. The children’s sector is the most p r i vate a s to c re ate a world inside a world for t he children to learn and re a d i n . T h e t h i rd s ector is a coffeehouse facing out wardly towards t he community, being key to interaction fo stering powerful knowledge.
