Site
Located in Manhattan, NY the Web Library sits on the highline on Hudson Yards. This library is not your ordinary linear, Dewey decimal system library. Web has a another approach. It takes different subjects and cross pollinates subjects to promote a continuation of growth and expansion like the infinite quality of knowledge and learning. The building takes unrealated subjects and weaves them into each other, connecting the diversity of New York City.
Library currently: very rigid, Current Library linear, every subject is
Future Library: Subjects can integrate New Proposal overlap and create new subjects, allows for navigation & exploration
