ANUBHA: THE LIBRARY
READING ROOM
SECTION
The idea is to use daylighting as the dictating force behind form of the building. And when the form is achieved function follows it. Form takes inspiration from a bird. The hind part of bird is the reading hall of the library, with its feathers turning into north lights. The main body of library is a huge atrium with administration at the ground floor, Online library at the first floor and a cafe at the top floor. The continuous glazing is so placed that it invite indirect light.
