THE ARCHITECTURE OF A LIBRARY

THE ARCHITECTURE O F A CITY

Map 1 • Focusing on the accessibility of knowledge • Interpreting the library as a metaphorical a tree, a system where the knowledge of one can be passed onto many • Building (creation and discovery of) new knowledge upon the foundation of existing knowledge, which results in the progression of humanity Map 5 • The repeated elements generate complexity, open and separate space through rotation and scale variation • Imagining building structure and function as one entity • Folding in & out - the outside reflects the inside, vice versa • Tilted surfaces become possible staircases, ramps, and places to lay or sit at different scales Map 6 • Thresholds, overlapping, and layers – moving in and out, between the public and the intimate, from sign to sign • Connected, intertwined • Chaos within order
