IN-FORMAL GIRVAN C TENGGONO - 917833 - STUDIO 16 The library is created for the non - users. A library for urban dwellers that does not generally use the library. An inviting and welcoming space that also caters for further interest in reading in a formal library. The decision is made due to the rise of digital publication that diminishes the need to go to the library due to the online availability of media, and the fact that the city of Melbourne is already the home for several established formal libraries. The library is arranged programatically to juggle between the juxtaposition of the formal and informal. Then, the two is wrapped with the structure’s circulation. The library also aims to provide a public green civic space for the CBD, where these refuges are pushed to the edges of the city.
